Abstract
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.
