Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus () for holding a disposable medical item, in particular a dialyzer (), plasma filter or adsorbent, for treating blood, a system () comprising such an apparatus, and a method for operating a disposable medical item for treating blood. A bearing device () is thereby configured to rotatably support the disposable item, and a drive device () is thereby configured to rotate the rotatably mounted disposable item around a longitudinal axis (L) extending substantially in a direction in which the blood flows through the disposable item when the disposable item is in operation. Alternatively or additionally, a sensor device () is configured to detect a rotation of the rotatably mounted disposable item around at least one rotational axis (L, Q), in particular around the longitudinal axis (L) and/or around a transverse axis (Q) running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (L) and output corresponding sensor data. A control device () is further configured to control the drive device () and/or process the sensor data output by the sensor device ().
