Abstract
An apparatus for preparing a dialysis solution has a dialyzate line for conducting a dialysis solution and means configured to discontinuously convey a dialysis solution in the dialyzate line. The apparatus has a conductivity sensor that is arranged to measure the conductivity of the dialysis solution, a concentrate line opening into the dialyzate line upstream of the conductivity sensor at an addition point, a concentrate pump, and a concentrate container from which the concentrate pump conveys concentrate into the concentrate line, and from there, into the dialyzate line. The apparatus has a controller that is connected to the conductivity sensor and to the concentrate pump, and that is configured to control the concentrate pump such that the conductivity fluctuations over time in the dialysis solution downstream of the addition point are reduced with respect to a continuous concentrate conveying.
