A kidney machine, or dialysis machine, removes solutes from the blood primarily through a process called diffusion. During dialysis, blood is passed through a semipermeable membrane that allows small solutes and waste products to pass through while retaining larger molecules and blood cells. Additionally, ultrafiltration is used to remove excess fluid by applying pressure, which helps in the removal of waste products and excess electrolytes from the blood. This process mimics the natural function of healthy kidneys in filtering blood.

Using a kidney machine to remove waste products from the blood is known as hemodialysis.
The dialysis machine is the machine that performs dialysis of the blood. Dialysis removes the waste product from the blood by drawing it through a vein in the forearm called the arterio-venous fistula. The blood is pumped into the machine through plastic tubes and then goes through a series of events that cleanses the blood with a saline solution called dialysate. Once the blood has been cleansed, it is returned to the body.
It's been filtered by the machine.
