Description
The DIALYZER ELISIO series, crafted by Nipro, offers a range of advanced dialyzers designed for effective hemodialysis, hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration therapies. These devices are tailored for patients with acute or chronic renal failure, providing versatile solutions through various models including ELISIO™-H, ELISIO™-M, ELISIO™-L, and the ELISIO HX Series.
Innovative Membrane Technology
At the core of the DIALYZER ELISIO is the unique Polynephron™ membrane, constructed from BPA-free polyethersulfone (PES). This innovative material ensures high performance and safety, housed within a BPA-free polypropylene casing and secured with a polyurethane potting compound. The membrane's asymmetric structure and homogenous pore size contribute to its exceptional filtration capabilities.
Versatile Performance Options
The series offers a broad spectrum of performance with low, mid, high, and super high-flux options. The effective surface area ranges from 0.9 to 3.0 m², accommodating diverse clinical needs. Each model is designed to optimize clearance rates for various solutes, ensuring effective treatment outcomes while minimizing albumin loss.
Design and Safety Features
The dialyzer's transparent housing allows for easy visual monitoring, enhancing safety by enabling air bubble detection. Permanently attached caps prevent accidental removal, ensuring single-use integrity. The lightweight design not only facilitates handling but also reduces environmental impact through lower material usage.
Sterilization and Biocompatibility
Each unit undergoes dry, oxygen-free gamma irradiation for sterilization, maintaining high biocompatibility with low thrombogenicity and reduced inflammatory response. The device's structure enhances endotoxin retention, providing an additional layer of safety.
Technical Specifications
- Priming Volume: 62–149 mL, depending on the model
- Effective Length: 212–305 mm
- Inner Fiber Diameter: 200 μm
- Membrane Thickness: 40 μm
- Maximum TMP: 500 mmHg
Clinical Suitability
The DIALYZER ELISIO is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with chronic kidney disease and conditions such as hypoalbuminemia or anemia. It is contraindicated for individuals allergic to polysulfone/polyethersulfone. Proper preparation includes priming with physiological saline and conducting leakage tests prior to use.
Environmental Considerations
All blood-contacting components are free from BPA and DEHP, aligning with environmental safety standards. The design reduces shipping and disposal burdens, contributing to a more sustainable healthcare practice.
Packaging and Storage
Each box contains 24 pieces, and the devices should be stored away from moisture, sunlight, and extreme temperatures. Adhering to standard clinical protocols for handling ensures optimal performance and safety.
The DIALYZER ELISIO series exemplifies Nipro's commitment to advancing renal care through innovative design and reliable performance, meeting the diverse needs of healthcare providers and patients alike.
