The Fresenius F8 HPS is a low-flux, high-performance dialyzer used in hemodialysis for adults. It’s designed to efficiently remove waste and excess fluid from the blood when a patient’s kidneys are unable to do so. This single-use dialyzer features a surface area of 1.8 sqm and utilizes Fresenius Polysulfone as its membrane material. It has a high ultrafiltration coefficient of 18 ml/h x mmHg and specific clearance rates for urea, creatinine, and Vitamin B12.
