A Design of Hemodialysis Machine Prototype for Education

Introduction

The blog is creating to record all the activities during conduct the final year project (FYP1). The main aspect is the activity, objective, content/procedure, result/analysis and conclusion of data collection every week. The title for my FYP1 is "A DESIGN OF HEMODIALYSIS MACHINE PROTOTYPE FOR EDUCATION".

Haemodialysis means “cleaning the blood” and that is exactly what this treatment does. Blood circulated through a machine which contains a dialyzer (also called an artificial kidney). The dialyzer (also called an artificial kidney). The dialyzer has two spaces separated by a thin membrane. Blood passes through on one side of the membrane and dialysis fluid passes on the other. The wastes and excess water pass from the blood through the membrane into the dialysis fluid, which is then discarded. The cleaner blood is returned to your bloodstream.
