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 7):
The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein computing one or more significant value of said delayed variation of the characteristic (Cd out ) comprises determining the value (Cd out (n)) of the characteristic (Cd out ) in the spent liquid at time instant (n) subsequent to said reference portion with the following recursive equation, which represents the parametric mathematical model in the time domain:\n Cd out ( n )= a 0 \u00b7Cd in ( n )+ b 1 \u00b7Cd out ( n\u2212 1)+ b 2 \u00b7Cd out ( n\u2212 2)+ b m \u00b7Cd out ( n\u2212m ), wherein:\n Cd out (n) is the calculated value of the outlet characteristic at time instant (n), \n Cd in (n) is the known value of the inlet characteristic at time instant (n), \n Cd out (n\u22121), Cd out (n\u22122), . . . , Cd out (n\u2212m) are values of the outlet characteristic at preceding time instants (n\u22121, n\u22122, . . . n\u2212m) prior to time instant (n) and recursively computed by means of the mathematical model, and \n a 0 , b 1 , b 2 , . . . , b m  are constant parameters of the mathematical model, as estimated by using said measured values of the reference portion of the downstream variation.
