More care. Less complexity.
With the new AutoSub plus function of the 5008S CorDiax HighVolumeHDF becomes as simple and reliable as HD without any additional need for user interaction.
The innovative AutoSub plus system is much more than just another automatic pressure control: |
Very precise information on the conditions in the dialyzer is available - not just across the membrane but also along the blood flow pathway |
Several checks per minute enable the continuous optimization of the substitution rates |
The system is automatically activated at the start of treatment |
AutoSub plus supports the nephrologist in establishing HighVolumeHDF as standard therapy. |
VAM is a unique and intelligent safety feature. It enables dynamic and highly-sensitive monitoring of the venous pressure by combining arterial and venous pressure signals with an adaptive algorithm. In this way, VAM is designed to indicate sudden, small drops in venous pressure of approximately 15 mmHg, even when the venous pressure does not exceed the lower alarm limit. VAM has been developed to support the health-care professionals in early detection of venous needle dislodgement. Still, the user remains responsible for patient safety at all times during treatment. VAM also includes an alarm management system: an alarm is activated if the monitored signals show exceptional or abnormal variations to the previous pressure profile.
Historically, the required amounts of substitution fluid had to be provided in infusion bags. This added to the workload of the nursing staff and deterred dialysis-centers from using HDF. In order to give more patients access to the benefits of HDF, we have developed a dialysis system, which prepares the substitution fluid directly at the bedside – The ONLINEplus system. Based on the highly reliable two stage filtration process ONLINEplus facilitates the online production of sterile and nonpyrogenic substitution fluid very cost-efficiently. Online hemodiafiltration was born.
Our innovative blood lines are developed based on the idea that HighVolumeHDF shall be as easy and safe to handle as HD. With a standard setup of a 5008S CorDiax you can already perform HighVolumeHDF.
It is not only the advanced treatment options that makes the 5008S CorDiax series unique, but also its eco-friendliness: Fresenius Medical Care supports the sensible and sustainable use of resources by saving dialysate, water and energy. This in turn leads to significant cost savings.
