Method and apparatus for kidney dialysis

摘要: A number of improvements relating to methods and apparatuses for kidney dialysis are disclosed. These include checking dialysate bypass status using flow measurement; a sensor confirm the absence ultrafiltration during bypass; automatic testing function by removal discrete volume from portion path coupled with pressure test that part path; touch screen user interface; bar graph profile programming ultrafiltration, sodium, bicarbonate parameters; RAM card upload treatment instructions to, download data from, machine; setting proportioning mode (acetate or bicarbonate) based on connections concentrate lines; predicting conductivity values brand formulation concentrates; minimizing no-flow dead time between pulses; initiating operation in timed machine power-off condition; preserving power-fail calibration scheduling reminding; level adjusting; blood leak rate detecting.
