CKRT filters and plasma filters

Ultraflux AV filters in CKRT

The Ultraflux AV filters10Ìýcontain a Fresenius Polysulfone membrane specially developed for CKRT. This membrane enables the elimination of smaller molecules such as uremic toxins and creatinine while plasma proteins like albumin, bigger molecules and cellular blood constituents are effectively retained.

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'s CKRT filters offer a number of advantages:

  • Appropriate for CiÄ¢¹½´«Ã½‘Ca (RCA) and heparin anticoagulation
  • Steam sterilized
  • Up to 72 hours duration of use
  • A choice of different surface areas is available:ÌýUltraflux AV 600ÌýS (1.4 m2) and Ultraflux AV 1000ÌýS (1.8 m2)

Ultraflux EMiCÌý2 for the removal of middle molecules

In addition to the conventional goals of CKRT, such as the control of the fluid status and the correction of electrolyte abnormalities, an enhanced reduction of IL-6, IL-8, and myoglobin has been demonstrated using EMiC 211Ìýin comparison to Ultraflux AV 1000 S.1,2

The highÄ¢¹½´«Ã½‘permeability hemofilter Ultraflux EMiCÌý2 is used in CiÄ¢¹½´«Ã½‘Ca CVVHD treatments. It can improve the removal of middle molecules exceeding the molecular weight of commonly known small-sized uremic toxins such as urea and creatinine, while retaining albumin.1Ä¢¹½´«Ã½‘5

Ultraflux EMiCÌý2 at a glance:

  • Clearance of middle molecules such as myoglobin or interleukin-62
  • ClearanceÌýhas been demonstrated throughout citrate-anticoagulatedÌýCKRT for up to 72 hours3
  • Steep sieving coefficient curve3Ìýclosely mimics the physiological renal function
  • Substantially stable albumin levels1Ä¢¹½´«Ã½‘5

plasmaFlux for therapeutic plasma exchange

Our plasma filter plasmaFlux is used for indications such as autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases, endogenous and exogenous intoxications.6

plasmaFlux separates the plasma from the blood cells through the Polysulfone membrane. plasmaFlux is a non-prefilled plasma filter. The surface layer inside of the Plasmasulfone capillary is surrounded and stabilized by a second homogeneous, fine-pored layer.The Polysulfone membrane enables substances to pass, including plasma proteins such as immunoglobulins (e.g. IgM of 940 kDa) and lipoproteins (e.g. LDL of 2500 kDa).

Benefits:

  • Simplified setup due to dry delivery ofÌýplasmaFluxÌýP2 dry plasma filters - there is no need to stop priming to connect the plasma filter
  • Free passage of protein components even exceeding molecular weights of two million Dalton
  • Retaining blood cells

Low-flow CO2Ìýremoval with multiECCO2R

Ìý

CKRT treatments can be combined with various forms of organ support such as gas exchangers, with limited additional invasiveness.7ÌýLow-flow ECCO2R target blood flows can be achieved by efficient CKRT dialysis catheters, providing ease of use for CKRT system users.8

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ offers with the multiECCO2R* a product for low-flow CO2Ìýremoval:

  • Applicable for both multiFiltratePRO and multiFiltrate
  • Gas exchanger placed downstream of the hemofilter, but upstream of air detector9
  • Blood flow max. 500 ml/min if anticoagulation with heparin planned9
  • Blood flow max. 200 ml/min if CiÄ¢¹½´«Ã½‘Ca anticoagulation used
