Zusammenfassung:An apparatus (1) for extracorporeal blood treatment comprises a filtration unit (2) having a primary chamber (3) and a secondary chamber (4) separated by a semi-permeable membrane (5), a blood circuit (17) comprising at least a blood withdrawal line (6) and a blood return line (7), a fluid circuit (32) comprising a fluid supply source (50) for providing a sterile fluid, and at least one gas inlet (49) to allow gas to enter into the blood circuit (17). The apparatus further comprises a control unit configured to perform a blood restitution procedure towards the patient for ending an extracorporeal blood treatment and before disconnecting the patient, said blood restitution procedure comprising the steps of infusing a predetermined amount of sterile fluid from the supply source (50) into the blood circuit (17) and causing a predetermined amount of gas to enter into the blood circuit (17) from the gas inlet (49).
