Abstract
A method and apparatus for priming an extracorporeal blood system. The extracorporeal blood system includes an arterial blood line, a venous blood line, a pump segment for interaction with a peristaltic blood pump of the apparatus and a blood treatment unit. A port of the venous blood line is connected to a venous blood port of the blood treatment unit. A port of the arterial blood line is connected to an arterial blood port of the blood treatment unit. The extracorporeal blood system is connected to a reservoir containing priming liquid. The non-occluded extracorporeal blood system is subsequently filled with priming liquid and, after filling with priming liquid, the pump segment is automatically occluded by a blood pump.
