Abstract
A hemodialysis machine or hemodiafiltration machine is provided that may be used directly for sampling for the connection to a hemodialyzer or for providing replacement fluid, as is required for regular microbiological testing. The machine does not require any additional components or any complex hygiene measures to prevent secondary contamination. By connecting an inventive sterile sampling set, samples can easily be taken. Closing elements and pumping mechanisms are controlled by a control unit as part of a sampling control program.
