Hint: The artificial device containing fine fibers is a dialyzer. With microscopic pores in the wall, also known as a semi-permeable dialysis membrane, the fibers are hollow. A special dialysis-fluid flows through the filter to eliminate contaminants during hemodialysis, and bathes the fibers from the outside, while the blood flows through the hollow fiber.

Complete answer:
The membrane may be passed through by toxins, urea, and other small particles due to the semi-permeable dialysis membrane.
The dialysis unit mixes and monitors the dialysate. Dialysate is the fluid that helps extract the unnecessary waste products from your blood. It also helps to get the electrolytes and minerals in the body to their correct levels. While it is outside the body, the computer often controls the blood supply.
The plastic jugs contain the liquids used to blend the dialysate. The system mixes the dialysate, which is made up of an acidified solution, bicarbonate, and filtered water. Electrolytes and minerals are found in the acidified solution. The other alternative is bicarbonate or bicarb, which is like baking soda, and you can hear it referred to as "acid." Both are combined with filtered water inside the unit. Dialysate and the blood flow through the dialyzer during dialysis (but they never touch). Fresh dialysate from the system reaches your dialyzer during your care. Impurities are drained out of the blood into the dialysate. Unwanted waste products and excess electrolytes containing dialysate leave the dialyzer and are flushed down the drain.
So, the correct answer is ‘Urea’.

Note: -When it passes through the blood tubing, blood begins to clot. The nurse will give a drug called "heparin" to avoid this.
-With each injection, the doctor orders the amount of heparin one should receive. The amount of heparin is drawn into a syringe and then inserted into the "heparin pump" on the computer.
-During the procedure, the heparin pump is programmed to release the correct amount of heparin into the blood tube. Heparin stops clotting in your blood.
