CombiSet SMARTECH Hemodialysis Blood Tubing Set with Attached Priming Set and Integrated Crit-Line Technology by Fresenius Medical Care Renal Therapies Group LLC
The Fresenius Medical Care Renal Therapies Group LLC presents the CombiSet SMARTECH Hemodialysis Blood Tubing Set. This innovative medical device is specifically manufactured for renal therapies, especially patients requiring routine hemodialysis treatments. This unique blood tubing set offers comprehensive solutions to several challenges associated with hemodialysis.
Designed with Integrated Crit-Line Technology, this state-of-the-art design allows for real-time monitoring of the patient's hematocrit and oxygen saturation during dialysis sessions. This technology contributes to enhanced dialysis efficacy by enabling healthcare providers to make accurate, data-driven decisions related to the dialysis process.
The device includes an attached Priming Set, streamlined to facilitate effective and efficient pre-dialysis priming. As it's integrated into the CombiSet system, it allows for a safer, more controlled environment, potentially minimizing complications associated with the priming process.
The CombiSet SMARTECH Hemodialysis Blood Tubing Set aims to provide a more comfortable experience for patients and ease of use for healthcare professionals. Together, these layered features contribute to ensuring patients receive optimal, individualized care throughout their dialysis treatments.
How It Works:
CombiSet SMARTECH Hemodialysis Blood Tubing Set with Integrated Crit-Line Technology
This state-of-the-art medical device is a blood tubing set designed specifically to optimize hemodialysis treatment. Its integration with Crit-Line technology offers healthcare professionals an indispensable tool for real-time, non-invasive monitoring of hematocrit and oxygen saturation throughout the dialysis process.
Working Mechanism
To understand the function of this device, it is crucial to understand the basics of hemodialysis.
Hemodialysis is a procedure that uses a specialized filter known as a dialyzer to remove waste and excess fluid from the blood when a patient's kidneys are no longer adequately performing these functions.
Integration with Crit-Line Technology
The CombiSet SMARTECH Blood Tubing Set utilizes
Crit-Line Technology, which enables clinicians to monitor the patient's real-time hematocrit levels and oxygen saturation during dialysis. This is of vital importance to prevent hypovolemia, a condition that can lead to low blood pressure and fatigue, which may occur if too much fluid is removed during dialysis treatment.
This integrated technology provides critical insights by using a combination of spectrophotometric examination and proprietary software to evaluate the change in the colour of blood as it passes through the dialyzer. The information gathered is employed to modify the rate of fluid removal to ensure the appropriate balance of solutes in the patient's blood.
Priming Set
An attached priming set is incorporated into the CombiSet SMARTECH Blood Tubing Set as a means to prime the dialyzer and bloodlines with saline before initiating dialysis treatment. The priming set function aids in purging all air from the system and ensuring the dialyzer filter is adequately saturated with saline, thereby reducing the likelihood of blood coagulation within the device.
In summary, the CombiSet SMARTECH Hemodialysis Blood Tubing Set leads the way in patient safety and clinical efficacy for hemodialysis. Its integration with Crit-Line technology and attachment of the priming set ensures personalized and effective treatment, advancing the standard of care for patients with kidney disease.
