Abstract
The invention relates to a method and to a device for supplying a dialysis device with dialysate, and to a dialysis device comprising a device for supplying the dialysis device with dialysate. For producing dialysate, a container 13 filled with a pulverulent dialysate concentrate K is provided, the amount of dialysate concentrate in the container being set in such a way that an amount of dialysate sufficient for a specified number of dialysis treatments can be produced using the dialysate concentrate. The method according to the invention and the device according to the invention make it possible to align the amount K2 of concentrate in the container 13 and the planned consumption amount, which is dependent on the prescription from the doctor and the treatment parameters established by the machine. After the individual dialysis treatments have been carried out, it is continuously monitored whether the amount of concentrate is sufficient. It may be monitored whether the amount of concentrate is sufficient for the following treatment or for all treatments still to be carried out. If it is not sufficient, an alarm signal is generated. Otherwise, a control signal for initiating each of…
