The Dialyser usually consists of a large surface area of cellulose acetate membrane, contained in a plastic structure. Blood passes through one side while the dialysate passes on the other side of this membrane.
The dialysis machine monitors and then mixes the fluid, that removes unwanted waste products from blood.
