In vitro measurements of ultrafiltration precision in hemofiltration and hemodialysis devices used in infants, Part 2: Comparison of PrisMax and CARPEDIEM with previous data on NIDUS, Prismaflex and Aquarius.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We sought to determine in vitro whether the PrisMax and CARPEDIEM hemofiltration and hemodialysis devices can reliably deliver ultrafiltration (UF) control that is sufficiently precise to treat infants.

Methods

We have previously measured the precision of UF control of the Prismaflex, Aquarius and NIDUS devices by in vitro testing with a bag of saline set up as a dummy patient, and comparing the differences between the UF set and displayed by the devices, and the actual fluid removal or addition measured by precise weighing. Here we have tested the PrisMax (updated version of Prismaflex) and the CARPEDIEM using the same method.

Results

The variances of the setting vs. actual errors, and display vs. actual errors after 15 min of 'treatment' with the PrisMax
