Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reliably detect impurities in washing liquid for washing out a liquid system for extracorporeal blood therapy equipment. SOLUTION: This method for detecting the impurities in the washing liquid for washing out the liquid system for the extracorporeal blood therapy equipment is performed based on comparison of physical characteristic and/or chemical characteristic, especially comparison of the electrical conductivity of the washing liquid circulating in the liquid system with that of washing liquid flowing through the liquid system. Then, a measured value is not an absolute value but a relative value, thereby a residual matter in the solution, especially a disinfectant in the washing liquid can reliably be detected and the impurity in the liquid system can reliably be detected.
