ABSTRACT:
A method and blood treatment equipment for controlling infusion are described. The equipment comprising: an extracorporeal blood circuit, a pre-infusion line connected to the blood circuit upstream a blood treatment unit, a post-infusion line connected to the blood circuit downstream the blood treatment unit, a waste line connected to an outlet of the treatment unit. A sensor operates on the waste line for sensing at least one fluid parameter and is connected to a control unit which commands a fluid flow through said pre-infusion line and through said post-infusion line. The control unit also determines from values of said fluid parameter at least a corresponding value of an efficiency parameter relating to blood depuration efficiency of the blood treatment unit, and controls the flow rate of at least one of the fluid flows through said infusion lines as a function of the value of the efficiency parameter. A software program for execution by the control unit is also claimed.
