Dialysis fluid filter and Online filter - Diacap® Ultra

Diacap® Ultra is a gamma-sterilised, hollow-fibre membrane filter made of high-grade Polysulfone fibre. It is intended for use as a bacterial and pyrogen filter for manufacturing ultrapure dialysis fluid in Dialog, Dialog Advanced and Dialog+ dialysis machines. The filter is a central component of B. Braun's "UltraPureFluid" system (UPF) and can also be used for the preparation of volume replacement solution for HF/HDF Online therapy with the Dialog machine.

Shelf life: 36 months

Product benefits of Diacap® Ultra:

• Highly adsorptive Polysulfone membrane: bacteria and endotoxin retention rating > 106 IU/ml
• Above-average filter service life: 150 treatments or approx. 900 hours of operation
• High mechanical stability of Polysulfone fibres
• Simple and efficient preparation
• Long service life means high cost-effectiveness

Benefits of ultrapure dialysis fluid:

• Significantly improves dialysis treatment quality
• Markedly reduces chronic inflammatory processes
• Beneficial impact on dialysis patients' nutritional condition and quality of life
• Positive effect on residual renal function in patients recently dependent on dialysis

Dialysis catheters

6.1 Haemocat® Signo The Haemocat® Signo is a temporary double-lumen catheter for extracorporeal blood treatments* and specifically designed for use in acute dialysis. The catheter is positioned here by the established Seldinger technique in the jugular, subclavian or femoral vein.

The outstanding advantage of Haemocat® Signo is the quick and simple control of the catheter's position at the site of insertion using the arterial ECG lead. This simultaneous and efficient catheter positioning technique eliminates the need for any additional X-ray monitoring or any awkward repositioning of the patient.

Shelf life: 36 months

Benefits of HaemocatR Signo:

• Positioning, control and correction of the catheter all in one step thanks to artrial ECG lead
• Patient-friendly as there is no re-catheterisation due to misplacement
• High cost-effectiveness thanks to low personnel and organisational costs
• Safe and easy catheter insertion thanks to kink-proof guide wire with J-tip
• Closed system for vein puncture using a valve canula
• Dispenser for one-handed manipulation of the guide wire
• DEHP-free product
• The HaemocatR Signo is available in the convenient Seldinger Operations set

Benefits of ultrapure dialysis fluid:

• Significantly improves dialysis treatment quality
• Markedly reduces chronic inflammatory processes
• Beneficial impact on dialysis patients' nutritional condition and quality of life
• Positive effect on residual renal function in patients recently dependent on dialysis

Dialysis concentrates

Patient-optimised therapy The vast range of liquid acidic and alkaline bicarbonate haemodialysis concentrates in various formulations offered by B. Braun allow the bicarbonate-buffered haemodialysis treatment to be optimally tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Sodium hydrogen carbonate powder supplied in cartridges and bags and prepackaged kits for the self-preparation of acidic haemodialysis concentrates complete the product range.

Shelf life: 36 months

Application-oriented container systems Our container systems for concentrates, which include a wide range of canisters, self-preparation kits and cartridges, meet the complex demands of modern dialysis units. They are model examples of B. Braun's commitment to manufacturing ecologically friendly products:

• Cartridges instead of conventional canisters
• Self-preparation kits reduce logistics and eliminate the need to transport canisters around the unit
