were measurable. Obviously, the fourth point could not impact on these observations. We are therefore quite confident in the results that we reported. We thank Canaud et al. for their comments as they provide some hypothesis to explain our findings. Most issues are covered in the previous section. The accuracy of the ultrafiltration pump is certainly not an issue as we have measured the precision of the total ultrafiltration in the dialysis setting and found an error <0.2%, as well as that of the infusion pump in the haemodiafiltration setting, which is <2%. We are sure that the new concept of KUF max, which we understand has provoked some surprises, will be adopted widely.
