Physiological peritoneal dialysis solution with stay·safe technology in a double-bag system. After mixing the contents of the two compartments, the ready-to-use solution has a physiological pH and a considerably reduced amount of glucose degradation products aiming at the preservation of the peritoneal membrane function and the residual function as well as better acidosis correction.
PVC-free, biocompatible material for producing foils, tubing and other components for peritoneal and acute dialysis.
Module for hemodialysis machines for fully automated blood pressure monitoring.
Module for hemodialysis machines to measure blood temperature. It can be used to control the body temperature of a dialysis patient, for example.
Module for hemodialysis machines to measure relative blood volume and control fluid removal from the patient to avoid complications during dialysis treatment.
An expansion of the therapy options to more effectively influence the bone and mineral change in patients with chronic kidney disease.
An integrated hemodialysis therapy developed by Fresenius Medical Care that deals with cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients.
Multifiltrate with integrated regional citrate anticoagulation for a renal replacement therapy without the need for systemic anticoagulants, thereby reducing the risk of bleeding.
Comprehensive program of Fresenius Medical Care to emphasize home dialysis – including home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis – for patients and healthcare professionals.
First method for the direct adsorption of lipoproteins from whole blood. Apheresis treatment for patients whose LDL cholesterol levels cannot be lowered sufficiently through medication alone.
Filter which produces ultrapure dialysis fluid during hemodialysis.
Unique technology where a DISC integrated in the bag system guides the patient through the essential steps during Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD), virtually eliminating operating errors.
European Clinical Database. Clinical database for ensuring the quality of dialysis treatment. The database records the treatment data of dialysis patients and allows an efficient comparison of treatment quality among individual dialysis clinics.
Dialyzer with capillaries made from Fresenius Polysulfone.
A new class of dialyzer with increased performance and outstanding biocompatibility. The improved performance of FX-class dialyzers was realized with an innovative dialyzer concept, comprising improvements of individual components, including the Helixone membrane.
Innovative hemodialysis therapy system based on a single-pass batch system. All the dialysate needed is prepared in one batch before treatment and adjusted to the requirements of the individual patient.
Dry acid and bicarbonate concentrates for the offline production of liquid concentrates for bicarbonate hemodialysis.
An advanced high-flux membrane for FX-class dialyzers based on the Fresenius Polysulfone membrane. The size and distribution of pores in Helixone have been optimized to enable the removal of larger uremic toxins such as ß2-microglobulin.
Web-based system for monitoring nocturnal dialysis treatment from a central location and comparing actual with predefined data as the patient sleeps. The system reacts to any deviations from the defined data by contacting the patient immediately, using the emergency information provided.
Specific steam sterilisation method employed by Fresenius Medical Care in the production of polysulfone dialyzers. One particular advantage is the automatic rinsing out of all sterilisation by-products and bacterial debris during actual dialyzer production.
Used with the Fresenius Freedom Cycler pd+ to monitor every minute of automated peritoneal dialysis therapy. The data stored by the IQCARD can be used to optimize the patient’s therapy as well as for research purposes.
Innovative device with pin technology for automated peritoneal dialysis marketed exclusively in the U.S. The Liberty Cycler automatically regulates the exchange of used and fresh dialysis fluid. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art pumping mechanism, is easy to set-up and also has an integrated patient data management software.
A bicarbonate-buffered solution for hemofiltration.
Multifunctional acute dialysis machine used for therapy in intensive care.
Optional quality assurance component for hemodialysis machines to measure online the effective in-vivo dialyzer clearance.
A system for our 4008 and 5008 series hemodialysis machines to perform online hemodiafiltration and online hemofiltration. The infusion fluid is prepared conveniently and cost-efficiently by filtering dialysate.
A dialyzer generation for the U.S. market, featuring improved clearance rates and outstanding biocompatibility.
PatientOnLine is a pc software tool recognized as medical device to administer patient data, to evaluate treatment results and to optimize prescription in order to ensure best treatment outcomes for peritoneal dialysis patients.
A calcium acetate phosphate binder for oral application in end-stage renal disease patients.
Unique automatic inline-closing system that eliminates the risk of contamination during disconnection from peritoneal dialysis (PD) systems.
Capillary membrane filter used to separate plasma from other blood components.
Novel extracorporeal blood purification system for patients with hepatic failure.
Automated peritoneal dialysis system for a safe and convenient treatment during the night. One of sleep·safe’s main features is the automatic bag connection and the inline warming of the peritoneal dialysis fluid.
Purifies tap water to dialysate quality and allows dialysate to be regenerated; a water- and space-saving technology very suitable for home-hemodialysis and thus an important step towards a wearable kidney.
Manual peritoneal dialysis system with PIN and DISC technology made of PVC-free Biofine material.
Innovative and integrated treatment concept in Fresenius Medical Care’s North American dialysis clinics combining, for example, the On-line Clearance Monitor, ultrapure dialysis fluid and the use of disposable high flux Polysulfone dialyzers.
