FX high-flux and FX low-flux dialyzers

Radial dialyzate flow

• The pinnacle structure of the polypropylene housing ensures a uniform dialyzate flow around the entire fiber bundle
• A high packing density of the fiber bundle and a special wavy fiber structure to avoid dialyzate channeling
• Combined these features enable the constant performance of all FX dialyzers

Optimum fiber dimensions

• The reduced inner diameter and wall thickness of the fiber increase the internal filtration and minimize diffusive resistance
• A significant increase of both the diffusive and convective clearances is therefore achieved, allowing the efficient removal of a broad spectrum of uraemic toxins

Technology

Helixone^® — the advanced polysulfone membrane

• Nanotechnology membrane fabrication procedures (Nano Controlled Spinning Technology, NCS^™) provide Helixone^® with a highly-defined pore structure and distribution at the innermost, separating region of the membrane^1,2
• Unlike conventional pores which were rugged and uneven in shape, the pores at the inner layer of the Helixone® membrane are smooth and cylindrical
• This reduces the resistance of the molecules when travelling through the pores and allows for enhanced removal

Helixone® has been specially designed to meet the demands of both low-flux and high-flux therapies:

• More even distribution of pores
• Estimated increased average pore size of 1.8 nm (low-flux) and 3.3 nm (high-flux)
• Increased performance per unit of surface area

INLINE steam sterilization – the benefits

• Highly pure, sterile and pyrogen-free dialyzers without any potentially harmful residuals from sterilization
• Biocompatibility of membranes remains unaffected from sterilization
• Optimized use of resources due to low rinsing volumes: only 500 mL is required
• Dry dialyzers with minimized risk of contamination due to microbial growth
