Abstract
A dialyzing machine is provided with a cartridge holder to which a filter cartridge (11) or a dialyzer cartridge can be fastened. The cartridge holder (25) comprises a holding element (35) retaining the cartridge (11) and a clamping element (36) which is movable relatively to the holding element and radially to the inserted cartridge. The clamping element can be moved from an open position into a closed position. It comprises two connecting members (41,42) cooperating with the lateral connecting studs (26,27) of the cartridge, the connecting members (41,42) sealingly engaging with the two connecting studs (26,27) of the cartridge when the clamping element (36) is moved into the closed position. In this way a connection with the two connecting studs of the cartridge is produced by simply attaching the cartridge to the cartridge holder. It is no longer necessary to individually connect hoses to the connecting studs.
