[Automatic regeneration of capillary dialysers]

First results of an automatically working regeneration apparatus for capillary dialysators in 200 dialyses allow the on an average tenfold use of the dialysator CDAK 4. In this case a reduction of the effective surface to 70% of the initial value must be taken into bargain. Pyrogenic reactions or bacterial contamination of the regenerated dialysators were not taken into consideration. This method is recommended as transitional solution up to the industrial production of cheap dialysators for a single use.
