Profile: Gambro offers in-center hemodialysis and intensive care products. Our Polyflux® dialyzer provides sieving properties with an asymmetric 3-layer structured membrane. It has a sharp cut-off that protects the blood from unwanted losses, such as albumin, and improves KoA. Its configuration with a microdomain surface combines the advantages of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers. These microdomain surfaces reduce specific protein and cellular interaction for less complement activation, reduced microinflammation & minimal thrombogenic risk. Our Phoenix® dialysis system has features such as Diascan® monitoring system, Cartridge® blood set, BiCart® cartridge, and Diaclear® ultrafilter.

• Anti-Regurgitation Valve with Blood Tubing Set (FDA Code: FJK / 876.5820)

A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.

• Hemo Dialyzers

• Hemodialysis Blood Circuit Accessories (FDA Code: KOC / 876.5820)

• High Flux Re-Use Hemodialyzer (FDA Code: MSF / 876.5860)

A high permeability hemodialysis system is a device intended for use as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure, fluid overload, or toxemic conditions by performing such therapies as hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemoconcentration, and hemodiafiltration. Using a hemodialyzer with a semipermeable membrane that is more permeable to water than the semipermeable membrane of the conventional hemodialysis system (876.5820), the high permeability hemodialysis system removes toxins or excess fluid from the patient's blood using the principles of convection (via a high ultrafiltration rate) and/or diffusion (via a concentration gradient in dialysate). During treatment, blood is circulated from the patient through the hemodialyzer's blood compartment, while the dialysate solution flows countercurrent through the dialysate compartment. In this process, toxins and/or fluid are transferred across the membrane from the blood to the dialysate compartment. The hemodialysis delivery machine controls and monitors the parameters related to this processing, including the rate at which blood and dialysate are pumped through the system, and the rate at which fluid is removed from the patient. The high permeability hemodialysis system consists of the following devices:

• High Permeability with/without Sealed Dialysate System (FDA Code: KDI / 876.5860)

• Hollow Fiber Capillary Dialyzer (FDA Code: FJI / 876.5820)

• Liquid Bandage (FDA Code: KMF / 880.5090)

A liquid bandage is a sterile device that is a liquid, semiliquid, or powder and liquid combination used to cover an opening in the skin or as a dressing for burns. The device is also used as a topical skin protectant.

• Liquid Hemodialysis Dialysate Concentrate Solution (FDA Code: KPO / 876.5820)

• Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (Mars) (FDA Code: NKL)

• Monitoring Systems

• Non-Implanted Hemodialysis Catheters (FDA Code: MPB / 876.5540)

A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.

• Sorbent Hemoperfusion System (FDA Code: FLD / 876.5870)

A sorbent hemoperfusion system is a device that consists of an extracorporeal blood system similar to that identified in the hemodialysis system and accessories (876.5820) and a container filled with adsorbent material that removes a wide range of substances, both toxic and normal, from blood flowing through it. The adsorbent materials are usually activated-carbon or resins which may be coated or immobilized to prevent fine particles entering the patient's blood. The generic type of device may include lines and filters specifically designed to connect the device to the extracorporeal blood system. The device is used in the treatment of poisoning, drug overdose, hepatic coma, or metabolic disturbances.

• Therapeutic Automated Blood Cell and Plasma Separator (FDA Code: LKN)

• Water Purification Subsystem (FDA Code: FIP / 876.5665)

A water purification system for hemodialysis is a device that is intended for use with a hemodialysis system and that is intended to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from water used to dilute dialysate concentrate to form dialysate. This generic type of device may include a water softener, sediment filter, carbon filter, and water distillation system.
