A system is provided herein for providing monitored treatment to a patient. The system includes a dialysis unit for providing treatment to a patient. A first group of actuators is adapted for operating the dialysis unit. A second group of actuators is operative for shutting off operation of the dialysis unit when the system is set to a general safe condition. A control unit is operative for controlling the first group of actuators in accordance with set values of control parameters, set values of safety parameters, and actual values of safety parameters which have been determined using a first group of sensors. A safety unit is operatively connected to the dialysis unit and is operative for monitoring, at regular intervals, actual values of the safety parameters, and for selectively setting the system in the general safe condition. The first group of sensors is communicatively connected to the control unit and is operative for providing the control unit with information which is indicative both of the actual values of the safety parameters and of treatment progress parameters. At least a subgroup of the first group of sensors provides, through the control unit, the actual values of the safety parameters to the safety unit. A second group of sensors is communicatively connected to the safety unit and is operative for providing the safety unit with information which is indicative of the actual values both of the safety parameters and of parameters which are indicative of an operative condition of the safety unit. A third group of sensors is communicatively connected to the safety unit and is operative for providing the safety unit with information which is indicative of an actual operative condition of the first group of actuators when the system is in the general safe condition. The third group of sensors is operative for communication with the safety unit in response to the safety unit detecting a patient-endangering anomalous situation resulting from inconsistent information which has been detected by one or more sensors of the first group of sensors of the second group of sensors.
