Preferably, the haemodialyser and also all the circuits for the blood, for the dialysis liquid and for removing the ultrafiltrate are disposable. They can be delivered in a disposable container which can, during treatment, be used as a support and as a dialysis liquid reservoir. A small console includes the re-usable means for controlling and checking the artificial kidney, together with their electric circuits. | |
