Abstract:
The present teachings relate to a blood purification apparatus in which the connection of a substitution line to a collecting port can be checked accurately and instantly and even during blood purification treatment. A blood purification apparatus includes a blood circuit, a dialyzer, a dialysate introduction line, a dialysate drain line, a substitution line one end of which is connected to a collecting port provided at a predetermined position of the dialysate introduction line and an other end of which is connected to the blood circuit, a substitution pump configured to form a pressure-increasing portion that includes the collecting port, and a pressure-measuring device capable of measuring a pressure in the pressure-increasing portion. The blood purification apparatus performs a testing process by increasing a liquid pressure in the pressure-increasing portion by utilizing a liquid-feeding pressure applied from a liquid-feeding device and measuring the pressure with the pressure-measuring device.

Claim (Index 6):
The blood purification apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the dialysate introduction line is supplied with clean water from the liquid-feeding device and with undiluted dialysate, the clean water and the undiluted dialysate being mixed together into the dialysate that is to be introduced into the blood purifier, wherein the dialysate introduction line is provided with an electrical-continuity sensor that is capable of identifying which of the clean water and the dialysate is present by checking whether or not there is electrical continuity at an application of a voltage, and wherein if what is identified is the clean water, a washing process in which the dialysate introduction line is washed with the clean water is performed.
