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 16):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein:\n varying the value of the characteristic (Cd in ) in the fresh treatment liquid comprises imposing an upstream perturbation in the characteristic of the fresh treatment liquid thereby causing a corresponding downstream perturbation of the characteristic (Cd out ) in spent liquid, the reference portion of said downstream perturbation begins after the characteristic in the spent liquid changes from said first outlet value (Cd out1 ) and lasts a prefixed period shorter than 60% of the duration of the downstream perturbation, and the control unit is further configured to:\n extrapolate a plurality of significant values of the characteristic (Cd out ), describing a remaining portion of the downstream perturbation consecutive to said reference portion, \n obtain a calculated downstream perturbation from said extrapolated significant values, and \n compute at least one value of a parameter indicative of the effectiveness of the extracorporeal blood treatment by comparing the calculated downstream perturbation and the upstream perturbation.
