Dialysis machine comprising an apparatus for identifying a dialyzer and method of identifying a dialyzer

Abstract

The present invention relates to a dialysis machine having a dialyzate circuit and having a dialyzer, wherein the dialysis machine has an apparatus for identifying the dialyzer; wherein the apparatus has means for filling the dialyzer with fluid and has means for determining the filling amount of fluid that is filled into the dialyzer; and wherein the apparatus furthermore has means for determining the pressure that is characteristic for the pressure in the filled region of the dialyzer, wherein an evaluation device is provided that is configured to put the measured filling amount into relationship with the measured pressure and to compare it with a predefined characteristic curve or with a predefined characteristic value, with the evaluation device furthermore being configured to output a signal that depends on whether the relationship determined coincides with the predefined characteristic curve or with the predefined characteristic value.
