DORA B-16P DIALYZER (24 pieces)

About

A dialyzer, often referred to as an artificial kidney, is a crucial component in hemodialysis treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or acute kidney injury. The DORA B-16P dialyzer is designed to efficiently remove waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood, while maintaining electrolyte balance. It typically consists of a semi-permeable membrane, often made from synthetic materials like polysulfone or polyethersulfone, which facilitates the exchange of solutes between the patient's blood and a dialysate solution. The large surface area and specific pore size of the membrane are engineered to optimize clearance rates for urea, creatinine, and other uremic toxins, ensuring effective blood purification. This device plays a vital role in sustaining life and improving the quality of life for individuals whose kidneys are no longer able to perform their essential functions.

Uses

• Hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease.
• Treatment of acute kidney injury.
• Removal of uremic toxins from blood.
• Correction of fluid and electrolyte imbalances.

Directions For Use

To be used by trained medical professionals in a clinical setting.
Follow manufacturer's instructions for priming and connection to the dialysis machine.

Benefits

• Efficient removal of waste products.
• Effective fluid management.
• Improved patient outcomes in renal failure.
• Biocompatible membrane materials.
• Consistent performance during dialysis sessions.
• Supports long-term renal replacement therapy.

Side Effects

• Hypotension during dialysis.
• Muscle cramps.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Headache.
• Fatigue.
• Allergic reactions to membrane materials.
• Blood loss.
• Air embolism (rare).
• Infection at access site.
• Clotting in the dialyzer.
• Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome.
• Electrolyte imbalances.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Not directly applicable to the device itself, but patients undergoing dialysis should discuss alcohol consumption with their physician due to potential interactions with medications and fluid restrictions.
• Pregnancy - Hemodialysis during pregnancy requires careful management and close monitoring by a nephrologist and obstetrician to ensure maternal and fetal well-being.
• Breastfeeding - Breastfeeding while undergoing dialysis is generally considered safe, but fluid and nutritional intake should be closely monitored, and medication safety should be reviewed.
• Liver - Patients with co-existing liver conditions may require specific adjustments to their dialysis regimen and medication management, as liver function impacts metabolism and fluid balance.
• Kidney - This device is specifically for patients with impaired kidney function; its use is central to their treatment.
• Lung - Patients with underlying lung conditions may require careful monitoring during dialysis to prevent fluid overload or respiratory distress.
