Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a medical treatment apparatus which includes at least one port, a device for closing, a compressed-air source and a control device and/or closed-loop control device. The port serves to establish fluid communication between at least one fluid line of the treatment apparatus associated with the interior of a treatment apparatus and a connector of a fluid line of a disposable associated with the exterior of the treatment apparatus. The sealing device is designed as a rinsing cap and serves to seal an interior of the port with respect to an exterior of the treatment apparatus. The compressed-air source is used to introduce air into the port along at least one sterile-air line. The control device and/or closed-loop control device is programmed to cause the compressed-air source to build-up and/or maintain a predetermined minimum overpressure in the sterile-air line, the compressed-air source and/or inside the port.
