What It Is

The Phoenix Hemodialysis Delivery System is a sophisticated machine designed to perform hemodialysis, a process that removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning properly. It works by circulating the patient’s blood through a dialyzer, where it is cleaned before being returned to the body. This system is essential for patients with chronic kidney disease or acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Use during hemodialysis treatment for patients who require extracorporeal blood purification.
  • Use with compatible hemodialysis blood tubing sets, dialyzers, and dialysis fluids as part of a hemodialysis system.
  • Use to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when kidney function is inadequate.

Clinical Applications

  • Routine hemodialysis for patients with kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease.
  • Hemodialysis in a hospital or outpatient dialysis center.
  • Hemodialysis for patients with acute kidney injury when renal replacement therapy is required.
  • Extracorporeal circulation of blood through a dialyzer and return of treated blood to the patient.

Practical Considerations

  • The system is used with compatible blood tubing sets, dialyzers, dialysis fluids, and other required dialysis accessories; compatibility should be confirmed before treatment.
  • Blood access may be through an arteriovenous fistula, arteriovenous graft, or temporary or tunneled dialysis catheter, depending on the patient.
  • The device requires trained dialysis personnel to prime the circuit, program treatment parameters, monitor pressures and alarms, and check for blood leaks or clotting.
  • This is an extracorporeal blood-circulation system and should not be considered MRI safe while connected to a patient or containing blood; MRI compatibility depends on the specific configuration and components.
  • Treatment may be unsuitable or require modification in patients with unstable blood pressure, inadequate vascular access, active bleeding, severe coagulopathy, or other contraindications to hemodialysis.
