crit line dialysis

crit line dialysis

This machine was used with NXstage and the AKSYS machines the Unit was owned by a private dialysis patient. He received dialysis at home with a portable dialysis machine and employed a private dialysis Registered Nurse. Unit has been gently used from February ‘04 to November ’05 when he passed away. Unit comes with the reference manual, AC adapter cord, and 36 disposable blood chamber attachments. Unit has a parallel port on the back to connect to a printer and a Finger clip.

CRIT-LINE is for caused analysis

The CRIT-LINE is unique in that it provides the root caused analysis. Treatments for symptoms without the CRIT-LINE do not

accurately or clinically define the underlying problem(s).

While the new guidelines mandate BVM for one patient population, it states the claim that it is needed to evaluate fluid vs.

body weight changes, opening the door to why it is not equally as important for all patients:

For pediatric patients weighing less than 35 kg., blood volume monitoring during hemodialysis

should be available in order to evaluate body weight changes for gains in muscle weight vs. fluid

About Crit-Line

The Crit-Line allows customized volume, Oxygen and anemia management during hemodiaylsis in chronic and acute settings. Crit Line III provides clinicians with evidence based real time information to obtain ideal dry weight and prevent interdiyltic morbidities

Crit-Line In-Line Monitor

The Crit-Line In-Line Monitor has been used in hemodialysis patients and other fluid-overloaded patients to measure hematocrit levels and oxygen saturation.

Crit-Line In-Line Monitor optically measures hematocrit and oxygen saturation as blood passes through the dialysis tubing while a patient is undergoing dialysis treatment.

The Crit-Line graphically displays and records the hematocrit, the percent blood volume change (which is derived from the hematocrit), and the oxygen saturation. The hematocrit and oxygen saturation are measured by an optical sensor attached to a sterile disposable blood chamber that is placed in-line between the arterial blood tubing set and the dialyzer. The Crit-Line determines the hematocrit based on both the absorption properties of hemoglobin and the scattering properties of red blood cells passing through the blood chamber.
