A dialysis machine has a balancing system with a balancing chamber for a volumetrically exact supply and removal of dialysis solution to and from a dialyzer fluidically connected to the balancing system in operation; a water inlet system connected to the balancing system for the supply of fresh dialysis liquid, with the water inlet system having an apparatus for degassing water that is connected to an air separator of the dialysis machine, with a first subsection of the air separator serving as a mixing chamber and being connectable to at least one concentrate source via at least one concentrate line and being in fluid communication with the balancing system via at least one dialysate line, wherein the filling volume of a balancing chamber corresponds to or exceeds the sum of the volume of the mixing chamber and the inner volume of the dialysate line.

Dialysis machine

The invention relates to a connecting piece for establishing a fluid connection between fluid-conducting lines for installation in a cut-out in a housing part of a medical device, in particular a dialysis unit. Furthermore, the invention relates to a medical device, in particular a dialysis unit, comprising a housing that comprises a housing part having a cut-out into which a connecting piece of this type is inserted. The connecting pieceaccording to the invention comprises a tubular bodythat is made of an electrically conductive material and can be inserted into the cut-outin the housing partA, the end piecesof which body are designed for the attachment of the fluid-conducting lines. The connecting pieceis distinguished by a terminal partfor attaching an electrical protective conductor or equipotential bonding system, the terminal partbeing electrically conductively connectable or connected to the tubular body. The terminal partallows an electrical connection cableto be directly attached to a protective conductor(PE conductor).
