PureFlow SL Water and Dialysate Preparation System

NxStage PureFlow SL offers water purification and dialysate production in one integrated unit specifically designed for use at home or in-center.

The NxStage® cycler with PureFlow SL is a preconfigured, FDA-cleared  hemodialysis system, designed, tested, and validated to yield ANSI/AAMI/ISO quality (which includes standards for chemical and chlorine/chloramine  testing) water and dialysate for in-center and home use.*

PureFlow minimizes the delivery, storage, inventory management, and disposal challenges associated with prepackaged bags of dialysate. Each bag of concentrate replaces between eight to twelve 5-liter bags of prepackaged dialysate, depending on the patient’s prescription.

Benefits


Patient preferred and recommended1†

Compact size
The PureFlow chassis and control unit weigh approximately 27 and 16 kg respectively and is the same size as a standard end table. In addition, the batch preparation dialysate system of PureFlow eliminates the need for bagged dialysate storage and handling.

No permanent plumbing or electrical modifications needed
Simple faucet, under-sink and washer hook-up adapters are all that are needed to install PureFlow.

Less water waste
Deionization (DI) technology with dual bed DI resin redundancies uses 100% of source water.

Lower source water flow rate
Accommodates more home water sources than alternative water purification systems, allowing 3.2 gallons/hour vs. 48-120 gallons/hour.

Continuous water purity monitoring
Even if source water integrity changes over time, the PureFlow SL output water quality does not change.

Convenient dialysate batch process
The dialysate SAK reduces bag handling, storage, and disposal. It is pre-filled with concentrate to make up to 60L of dialysate or up to 3 treatments per batch. It is designed for patient ease of use with no user intervention required during batch making.

Premixed Bagged Dialysate is also available for home patients in sterile, 5L bags, with a variety of fluid configurations.
