Functional description

Patient blood travels via set tubing circuit, through the haemodialyser, returning via set tubing to patient. In the dialyser it flows through hollow heparin-coated fibers where, by means of hydrostatic or transmembrane pressure, plasma water and certain lower and middle molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane into the dialysate or filtrate compartment of the device. Uremic toxins and waste products are removed from the blood by both diffusion and convection through the membrane
