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 12):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein:\n varying the value of the characteristic (Cd in ) in the fresh treatment liquid comprises imposing a change from a first inlet value (Cd in1 ) to a second inlet value (Cd in2 ), which is kept constant for a prefixed time interval, thereby causing a corresponding change of the characteristic (Cd out ) in spent liquid from a respective first outlet value (Cd out1 ) to a respective second outlet value (C dout2 ) defining said timely delayed downstream variation of the characteristic (Cd out ), the reference portion of said downstream variation begins after the characteristic in the spent liquid changes from said first outlet value (Cd out1 ) and lasts a period during which the characteristic either continuously increases or decreases without reaching the second outlet value (Cd out2 ), and the control unit is further configured to:\n calculate the second outlet value (Cd out2 ) 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, and \n use the calculated second outlet value (C dout2 ) as a significant value for the computation of at least one value of a parameter indicative of the effectiveness of the extracorporeal blood treatment.
