Patent ID: 8574438

Claim:
A dialysate regeneration unit ( 19 , 64 ) for regenerating a dialysate containing carrier substances, with a first flow path ( 27 ) comprising a first supply unit adapted for adding an acidic fluid ( 29 ) to the dialysate flowing in the first flow path ( 27 ), a detoxification unit located downstream of the first supply unit, the detoxification unit being adapted for removing toxins from the acidified dialysate flowing in the first flow path ( 27 ), a second flow path ( 28 ) that extends in parallel to the first flow path ( 27 ), the second flow path ( 28 ) comprising a second supply unit adapted for adding an alkaline fluid ( 31 ) to the dialysate flowing in the second flow path ( 28 ), a further detoxification unit located downstream of the second supply unit, the further detoxification unit being adapted for removing toxins from the alkalised dialysate flowing in the second flow path ( 28 ), and an electronic control unit.
