Dialysis Fluid Filter

The quality and purity of the dialysis fluid are of major concern in renal replacement therapies, as large volumes of dialysis fluid come into contact with the patientïs bloodstream during each treatment. This is particularly the case with online haemodiafiltration (HDF), in which large fluid volumes are exchanged. Thus, the use of ultrapure dialysis fluid free from bacterial endotoxins and other microbial contamination is crucial in preventing undesirable acute reactions and influencing long-term patient outcomes. In addition, it has been shown to improve the control of anaemia, making it an important cornerstone of cardioprotective haemodialysis.1 The routine production of ultrapure dialysis fluid and substitution fluid (defined as endotoxins <0.03 IU/mL) relies on the implementation of ultrafilters ï such as the DIASAFEplus filter ï within the fluid pathway of the dialysis machine. DIASAFEplus filters are fitted as standard in the 5008/5008S therapy system and 4008S Next Generation to ensure a high degree of dialysis fluid purity.

The Polyflux H dialyzer has a special membrane that is able to handle middle molecules with ease. It helps people to remove molecules without losing albumin. This features a strong polymer blend to make it all fully function. It also has a three-layer surface to keep the diffusion process in check while keeping dialysis procedures under control to get all HDF and HF treatments to be run safely and effectively.
