Abstract
A method for extracorporeal blood purification and dialysate disposal includes the steps of: passing a patient's blood through a dialyzer through a first line, passing dialysate through the dialyzer through a second line so that the dialysate exits the dialyzer as used dialysate, and collecting the used dialysate in a container. The container can include an inlet and an outlet connector, the inlet being fluidly connected to the dialyzer to receive the used dialysate, and the outlet connector being fluidly connected to a sewer line of a sewage system in a sealed manner to discharge the used dialysate directly into the sewage system.
