A system and a method for renal replacement therapy includes a blood treatment unit connected to a blood circuit and a dialysis fluid circuit, the system further including a control unit configured to control the system according to control instructions during a treatment, so as to determine a system parameter value and an indication of membrane fouling of the membrane, and activate an automatic anti-fouling measure that includes a temporary change of the flow rate in the blood circuit and a temporary decrease of the ultrafiltration rate wherein a timing of the temporary change and a timing of the temporary reduction are synchronized.

System and a method for renal replacement therapy

A control system is configured to implement a method of preparing a blood treatment apparatus () for blood treatment. The method comprises installing, by use of a disposable arrangement, first and second flow circuits (C, C) separated by a semi-permeable membrane (), the first flow circuit (C) being connected for fluid communication with the apparatus () and the second flow circuit (C) being connected to form a closed loop that includes a sterilizing filter () and, optionally, a container (). The method further comprises performing backfiltration to transfer a human-compatible fluid from the first flow circuit (C) to the second flow circuit (C) through the semi-permeable membrane (), and circulating () the human-compatible fluid in the closed loop of second flow circuit (C), to thereby sterilize the human-compatible fluid by the sterilizing filter () and, optionally, collect a resulting sterile fluid in the container () for later use.

Preparing an extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus

A renal failure therapy system includes a dialysis fluid circuit including a dialysis fluid pump; a source of physiological cleaning, disinfecting, and/or decalcifying substance in fluid communication with the dialysis fluid circuit; a source of purified water in fluid communication with the dialysis fluid circuit; and a logic implementer in operable communication with the dialysis fluid pump, the logic implementer causing the physiological cleaning, disinfecting, and/or decalcifying substance from its source to be added to purified water from the purified water source to form a mixture and to circulate the mixture within the dialysis fluid circuit using the dialysis fluid pump to at least one of clean, disinfect or decalcify at least a portion of the dialysis fluid circuit without a subsequent rinse.
