摘要:
An apparatus for blood dialysis composed at least of a hemodialyzer (a) whereby blood is brought into contact with a dialysate via a semipermeable membrane and thus purified; a blood circulation system (b) composed of a blood circuit in the arterial side whereby blood is taken out from a patient and flown into the hemodialyzer and another blood circuit in the venous side whereby the blood flown out from the hemodialyzer is returned to the patient; a dialysate supplying/discharging system (c) for supplying and discharging the dialysate composed of a dialysate-supply line for supplying the dialysate to the hemodialyzer and a dialysate-discharge line for discharging the dialysate flown out from the hemodialyzer, and a means (d) of controlling the back-filtration speed. Owing to this constitution, individual steps from the preparation of the dialysis (treatment) to the completion of the treatment and the change from a specific step to the next step can be safely, surely and quickly carried out in most cases. Moreover, a series of therapeutic procedures (i.e., blood collection, initiation of blood dialysis, collection and completion) can be automated.
摘要:
An automatic dialyzer for purifying blood brought into contact with a dialysate via a semi-impermeable membrane, comprising at least a blood circulating system and a dialysate supply/discharge system, characterized in that the blood line of the blood circulating system is connected to an overflow line having a reversibly-rotatable blood pump and also having a blood chamber and an open/close means for overflowing of liquid from the blood chamber to the outside of the blood line, and liquid supply means, for supplying liquid in both forward and reverse directions and being able to regulate the supply amount of the dialysate for water removing/liquid replenishing, are provided to a first bypass line and/or a second bypass line, the supply speed of the liquid supply means and the supply speed of the blood pump being regulatable in conjunction with each other; and a dialyzing method using the automatic dialyzer.

Provided is a hemodialyzer in which deterioration in membrane performance of a hollow fiber with time can be grasped accurately during dialysis and the performance can be recovered quickly and positively. The hemodialyzer, constituted by connecting an artery side blood circuit (2) having a blood pump (7) to the artery side of a dialyzer (1), connecting a vein side blood circuit (3) to the vein side of the dialyzer (1), and connecting a dialysate supply line (4) and a dialysate discharge line (5), respectively, to the side face of the dialyzer (1), is provided with a detector (15) for determining the pressure in the blood circuit, and a detector (16) for determining the pressure in the dialysate line, in which transmembrane pressure is calculated based on the determined pressures, and reverse filtering is performed by the dialyzer (1) when the transmembrane pressure exceeds a predetermined level. Reverse filtering is performed by flushing operation and clogging of pores of the dialyzing membrane in the dialyzer (1) is eliminated thus recovering performance of the dialyzer (1).
