The Fresenius FX8 Dialyzer is a single-use, low-flux hemodialyzer intended for the treatment of acute and chronic renal failure. It utilizes a hollow-fiber membrane made from Helixone®, a proprietary polysulfone material developed by Fresenius Medical Care. This membrane is designed to provide efficient removal of small to medium-sized molecules from the blood.
Key Specifications
1.Membrane Material: Helixone® (polysulfone)
2.Housing Material: Polypropylene
3.Potting Compound: Polyurethane
4.Ultrafiltration Coefficient (Kuf): 12 mL/h·mmHg
5.Sterilization Method: INLINE steam sterilization
6.Intended Use: Hemodialysis (HD)
Performance Characteristics
The FX8 Dialyzer is designed to efficiently remove various solutes from the blood during dialysis:
1.Urea Clearance: 191 mL/min at blood flow rate (QB) of 200 mL/min
2.Creatinine Clearance: 178 mL/min at QB of 200 mL/min
3.Phosphate Clearance: 160 mL/min at QB of 200 mL/min
4.Vitamin B12 Clearance: 107 mL/min at QB of 200 mL/min
Applications
The FX8 Dialyzer is suitable for:
1.Chronic Hemodialysis: Long-term treatment for patients with chronic kidney failure.
2.Acute Hemodialysis: Short-term treatment for patients with acute renal failure.
3.Low-Flux Dialysis: Patients requiring efficient removal of small to medium-sized molecules.
