Hello, u don't need to get the TMP in the Dialysis Machine, in-fact the TMP or Trans Membrane Pressure is calculated by the Hemodialysis machine (Volume controlled.

The TMP depends on the time of HD (hemodialysis), the size and the kind of Dialyzer (high or low flux) u are using, the amount of fluid u want to remove and the HTK (hematocrit) or the thickness of the blood u r dialyzing. The machine takes all of that into account and calculates the TMP as well as adjusting it during the treatment.

With old dialysis machines the TMP had to be calculated (pressure controled HD machines) but these machines are rarely used anymore.
