Abstract
A hemodialysis device (10) which features an improved disinfection apparatus. Before disinfection begins, a container (30) of disinfectant (36) is interposed into the dialysis fluid circulation system in place of the dialyzer. The dialysis fluid circulation system is shunted, and the disinfecting solution which is present in this closed circulation system is flushed out of the container (30) and through the entire path of the dialysis fluid, in order to achieve a complete cleaning of the hemodialysis device (10). It is possible to use solid, soluble disinfectant (36) as well as liquid disinfectant.
