Small dialysis machine for home use

Release date: 2010-08-25


In recent years, medical device manufacturers in the United States and other countries have successively developed a number of small hemodialysis machines suitable for patients with renal failure to operate at home. The common feature is that it has the advantages of small volume, convenient movement (four universal pulleys are usually installed under the machine base), easy operation, and convenient operation for elderly patients. Here are a few examples of small household dialysis machines recently listed in foreign countries and their performance introductions for the reference of domestic medical device industry developers.
1. PureFlow SL
It is developed by NXStage Medical Devices, USA, and has a volume of only 15 × 15 × 15 inches and a weight of 70 to 90 pounds (different specifications, so the weight is different). Since the machine base is equipped with 4 universal pulleys, it is very light when moving. The machine uses the bagged dialysis agent supplied by the manufacturer and uses pure water that meets the requirements of the US Environmental Protection Agency as an auxiliary reagent.
2. Fresenius Medical Care
This is a new home dialysis machine launched by Fresenius Medical Devices in the US market. According to reports, the machine is only 52 × 21 × 25 inches and weighs 160 pounds. It uses "single needle tube conventional blood dialysis method", and the matching reagents are products that meet EU or American standards. There is a color touch screen on the body, which is suitable for patients to perform self-hemodialysis operation at home.
3. Dialog Plus
It is developed by Braun Medical Devices in Germany and is available in Europe and the US. The aircraft is 66 x 20 x 25 inches and has a body weight of 187 pounds. It features a rotatable flat-panel monitor that clearly visualizes the hemodialysis on the monitor wherever the patient is. The operating program is automatically set in the machine. Once the hemodialysis process is over, the machine will automatically turn off the power to avoid invalid dialysis. The reagents required for this machine are urokinase, baking soda, dialysis agent and heparin.
According to domestic media reports, the number of patients with chronic renal failure in China has been rising in recent years. Although China has been able to produce several specifications of hospital hemodialysis machines, there is still no small dialysis machine suitable for household use. Foreign manufacturers have already developed a variety of home kidney dialysis machine products. Therefore, domestic medical device companies should increase their efforts to develop small kidney dialysis machines that are suitable for home use at an affordable price (the best price is controlled at no more than 50,000 yuan or less per unit). With the rapid development of China's material science and technology, a number of new filter materials, such as hollow fiber and shaped fiber suitable for kidney dialysis, have been developed and put into the market, thus laying a foundation for the development and production of domestic miniaturized home kidney dialysis machine. According to foreign researchers, in the next few years, small household hemodialysis machines will become a new hot product in the international medical device market. The author believes that such products will have a broad market growth space.
