1.3
Therapies The Prismaflex control unit pumps blood from the patient, through the filter in a Prismaflex disposable set, and back to the patient’s venous circulation. As the blood passes through the filter, the desired treatment processes take place. Depending on the therapy in use, these processes can include fluid removal and/or solute clearance. For instructions about the different therapies, see each respective therapy chapter. During the setup procedure, the operator selects the therapy desired. The Prismaflex system provides: CRRT – Continuous Renal Replacement Therapies ● SCUF – Slow Continuous Ultrafiltration ● CVVH – Continuous Veno-venous Hemofiltration ● CVVHD – Continuous Veno-venous Hemodialysis ● CVVHDF – Continuous Veno-venous Hemodiafiltration CRRT septeX – Continuous Renal Replacement Therapies with high cut-off membrane ● CVVHD – Continuous Veno-venous Hemodialysis ● CVVHD+post – Continuous Veno-venous Hemodialysis + post infusion CRRT MARS® – Continuous Renal Replacement Therapies supporting Molecular Adsorbents Recirculation System ● CVVHD – Continuous Veno-venous Hemodialysis ● CVVHDF – Continuous Veno-venous Hemodiafiltration TPE – Therapeutic Plasma Exchange HP – Hemopurification NOTE! All therapies beside CRRT require a service configuration. Contact your local representative for additional information.
