Abstract
A control system operates () an apparatus for extracorporeal blood processing to extract, process and return the blood of an individual while removing fluid from the blood in accordance with a set value for ultrafiltration rate, UFR. The control system further obtains () sensor data representing one or more physiological parameters of the individual, and intermittently performs an optimization procedure () to generate the set value based on the sensor data. The optimization procedure comprises: evaluating (A) the sensor data for detection of a limiting physiological status, LPS, sequentially controlling (B) the apparatus in accordance with a test sequence of UFRs until the LPS is detected for a current UFR, and updating (C) the set value based on the current UFR for use in operating the apparatus subsequent to the optimization procedure. The control system may perform a series of temporally separated optimization procedures during a treatment session to adapt the UFR to the individual.
