Method of purging gas bubbles in an extracorporeal blood circuit

The invention relates to a method of purging gas bubbles from a target zone of an extracorporeal blood circuit of a dialysis machine, wherein the target zone is flowed through by flushing liquid which enters into the target zone through an inflow and exits it again through an outflow, wherein the inflow differs from the arterial port and the outflow differs from the venous port of the extracorporeal blood circuit. The invention furthermore relates to a dialysis machine having an extracorporeal blood circuit and a control unit, with the extracorporeal blood circuit having an inflow and an outflow for flushing liquid, with the inflow differing from the arterial port and the outflow differing from the venous port of the extracorporeal blood circuit, and with the control unit being configured to carry out a method in accordance with the invention. The invention furthermore relates to a disposable for the dialysis treatment, wherein the disposable comprises an arterial line, elements of a blood pump, a dialyzer and a venous line, wherein the disposable has an interface for the inflow of flushing liquid in the arterial line and an interface for the outflow of flushing liquid in the venous line, and wherein the interface for the inflow differs from the arterial port and the interface for the outflow differs from the venous port of the hose set.
