Abstract
A dialysis machine, in particular a peritoneal dialysis machine, has a heating device for heating a container containing a dialysis solution, in particular a peritoneal dialysis solution. The heating device is configured such that the heating of the dialysis solution by the heating device takes place non-uniformly at points.
Claims9
A dialysis machine comprising:
- an assembly including a positionable container containing a dialysis solution that is to be heated and a heating device for heating the container, the heating device including a plurality of regions and a control unit, and the container being positioned in an asymmetrical arrangement relative to the heating device;
- and
- a receiver for receiving the container, with at least one of the heating device and the receiver being inclined with respect to the horizontal,
- the control unit being configured to operate the plurality of regions of the heating device at different levels of power so as to transfer different quantities of heat,
- such that the heating of the dialysis solution by the heating device takes place non-uniformly at points throughout the dialysis solution so as to provide a temporary temperature gradient in the dialysis solution.
