Abstract

Electrodes for a bio-impedance measuring device or a body composition monitor, the electrodes being integral with or being attached to a surface of at least one device belonging to a group of electronic and/or non-electronic devices used in the preparation of a dialysis treatment or during dialysis, in particular during peritoneal dialysis, the group preferably consisting of organizers of a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis system (CAPD), automated peritoneal dialysis devices, automated peritoneal dialysis-cyclers (APD-Cycler), bioelectrical impedance analyzers (BIA), body composition monitors (BCM), hand-held electrodes holders for the electrodes, and dialysis apparatuses. Devices and methods used during dialysis are also described.
