Abstract
A method for referencing a pressure or force sensor configured to measure pressure in a tube filled with fluid. The pressure or force sensor is located in an extracorporeal circuit and integrated into or inserted in a clamping device The method includes: (1) referencing a force or pressure reference signal which the pressure or force sensor outputs, with a force or pressure reference signal measured by a force or pressure reference sensor; and (2) using a dialysis fluid side force or pressure reference sensor in a dialysis fluid circuit configured to detect the pressure in the dialysis fluid circuit, for referencing a pressure sensor or force sensor in the extracorporeal circuit. A device uses a dialysis fluid side force or pressure reference sensor in the dialysis fluid circuit that detects pressure in the dialysis fluid circuit, for referencing at least one pressure or force sensor in the extracorporeal circuit.
