Application No. 07/795,908
determining the actual concentration of individual
concentrate components to be mixed as a dialysate;
determining the actual conductivity of a dialysate to be
formed by the concentrate components and water;
combining said concentrate components with said water to form
said dialysate;
sensing the conductivity of said dialysate and comparing
said sensed conductivity of said dialysate with said
determined actual conductivity of said dialysate; and
contolling the proportions of said concentrate components
and said water in accordance with said comparison to obtain
said determined actual dialysate conductivity.
14. An apparatus for mixing dialysate in a hemodialysis
machine, comprising:
means for determining the actual concentration of
individual concentrate components to be mixed in a dialysate;
means for determining the actual conductivity of a
dialysate to be formed by the concentrate components and
water;
means for combining said concentrate components with said
water to form said dialysate;
means for sensing the conductivity of said dialysate and
means for comparing said sensed conductivity of said dialysate
with said determined actual conductivity; and
means for controlling the proportions of said concentrate
components and said water in accordance with said comparison
to obtain said determined dialysate conductivity.
