Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for assessing a measured pressure value, with the provision of a blood treatment apparatus, connectable to a blood tubing set which includes an arterial blood line and a venous blood line, wherein the blood treatment apparatus further includes a blood pump, pressure meter for measuring the pressure in the blood lines, in each case with the determination of at least one pressure measurement value, an alarm output device for outputting an alarm based on the pressure measurement value and a control device for controlling or regulating the blood pump. The method includes providing an alarm criterion memory for defining an alarm event and providing a reference data memory. The method encompasses measuring the prevailing pressures, assessing the determined pressure measurement values using alarm criteria, and repeating the pressure measuring processes at certain conveying rates of the blood pump to assess whether it is a false alarm.
