Providing the flexibility to provide
individualized patient treatments

Removes the patient’s RBCs and replaces them with compatible donor RBCs to achieve a target FCR, target End HCT, and target Fluid Balance.
Removes the patient’s abnormal or excess RBCs and replaces them with a prescribed replacement fluid, typically colloid and/or crystalloid solutions, to achieve a target End HCT.
Performs an RBC Depletion procedure quickly followed by an RBC exchange.

Automated Partial or Full Custom Prime

For patients with lower total blood volume or lower hematocrit:

  • Allows priming from replacement fluid line through return line. This can save a unit of blood that is typically used for priming the entire kit.
  • Amicus has the ability to mix saline with the prime source fluid to achieve a desired hematocrit in the return line.
  • Helps the patient remain isovolemic at the start of the procedure with hematocrit fluctuations.

 

Certain devices, software versions, and protocols may not be available depending on approval or clearance by the appropriate regulatory agencies in each country. Contact a Fresenius Kabi representative for questions on the regulatory status in your country.
