1. Apparatus for controlling an extra-corporeal blood treatment in a medical device, comprising:

  • a blood treatment device;

    an extra-corporeal blood transport line, having at least an arterial line configured to bring blood from a first access of a patient under treatment to said blood treatment device, a venous line configured to bring blood from said blood treatment device to a second access of the patient, and at least a first pump for moving blood in said extra-corporeal blood transport line;

    a fluid transport line for a treatment fluid for said blood, the fluid transport line adapted to bring the treatment fluid from a source to said blood treatment device and from said blood treatment device to an exit, and at least a second pump for moving the treatment fluid in the fluid transport line;

    at least a sensor adapted to provide a measure correlated to at least a treatment parameter of the extra-corporeal blood treatment or of the treatment device in the medical device;

    at least one storage memory; and

    at least a control device operatively connected at least with said storage memory and with said sensor;

    wherein said control device is configured for receiving said measure from said sensor, correlating said measure at least with referential data of said treatment device for said treatment parameter provided from said at least one storage memory, and correlating said measure with patient historical data for said treatment parameter during an extra-corporeal blood treatment of said patient under treatment, provided from said at least one storage memory, for obtaining at least an information representative of the quality of the extra-corporeal blood treatment.
