Abstract:
An apparatus for extracorporeal treatment of blood ( 1 ) comprising a treatment unit, a blood withdrawal line, a blood return line, a preparation line and a spent dialysate line. A control unit ( 10 ) is configured to calculate values of a parameter relating to treatment effectiveness based on measures of the conductivity in the spent dialysate line. The value of the effectiveness parameter is calculated using one or more values representative of the conductivity in the spent dialysate line obtained relying on a mathematical model.

Claim (Index 14):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein:\n varying the value of the characteristic (Cd in ) in the fresh treatment liquid comprises changing from a first inlet value (Cd in1 ) to a second inlet value (Cd in2 ), and then changing to a third inlet value (Cd out3 ) thereby causing a corresponding time delayed downstream variation of the characteristic (Cd out ) in the spent liquid comprising a change from a respective first outlet value (Cd out1 ) to a respective second outlet value (Cd out2 ) and then to a third out value (Cd out3 ); the reference portion of the downstream variation begins after the characteristic in the spent liquid changes from said first outlet value (Cd out1 ) and lasts a period shorter than a fraction of the duration of said downstream variation; and calculating as a significant value at least the third outlet value (Cd out3 ) or both the second and the third outlet values (Cd out2 , Cd out3 ) of the characteristic (Cd out ) using the determined downstream curve (Cd out(t) ) representative of the values taken by the characteristic (Cd out ) in the spent liquid for the entire duration of the downstream variation.
