Abstract
A machine () for extracorporeal blood treatment comprises a device () for ultrafiltration of a liquid through a semi-permeable membrane () of a blood treatment device (), a first sensor () for ultrafiltration rate through the membrane, a second group of sensors () for measuring a trans-membrane pressure, an infusion line () with an infusion pump () and a programmed controller () for calculating a maximum infusion rate as a function of the transmembrane pressure. The machine is suitable for kidney failure treatments, such as hemofiltration and hemodiafiltration. In a relatively short time the machine enables a large quantity of corporeal blood to be removed from the patient.
