A dialyzer holder for quickly and securely fastening a variety of different dialyzers in position against a surface of a dialysis machine. The dialyzer holder includes an elongated arm pivotably attached to the dialysis machine. An attachment device for engaging a dialyzer is fixed to the free end of the pivotable elongated arm. The pivotable elongated arm is biased to direct the attachment device toward the dialysis machine, and the elongated arm is of sufficient length to position a dialyzer between the attachment device and the dialysis machine when an operator overcomes the bias force and pivots the arm away from the dialysis machine. The bias on the elongated arm is sufficiently strong to maintain the dialyzer suspended between the attachment device and the dialysis machine, even once the dialyzer is filled with blood and dialysate during patient treatment. Frictional pads placed on the dialysis machine and the attachment device may help to inhibit movement of the dialyzer once it is suspended between the dialysis machine and the attachment device. The attachment device is adapted to engage a variety of different styles and sizes of dialyzers without requiring any type of modification. An alternative attachment device may be used when the dialyzer holder is primarily used with conventional hollow fiber dialyzers and plate dialyzers.
