- Helps manage electrolytes and acid-base balance in kidney patients and provides compatibility with standard dialysis machines for safer, more efficient treatment
Uses
- Renal Dysfunction:
- Used in hemodialysis to remove waste and balance electrolytes for patients with kidney failure
- Electrolyte Management:
- Helps maintain proper potassium, calcium, and bicarbonate levels in the blood
- Acid-Base Balance:
- Corrects metabolic acidosis, a common complication of kidney disease
Features
- Two-Chamber Bag:
- Separates medication/concentrate from the diluent until activation, ensuring sterility and potency
- Bicarbonate-Based:
- Provides a bicarbonate buffer to manage pH
- Potassium-Specific:
- The "K4/Ca0" in its name (as seen in related products like 4556) indicates its specific potassium (4 mEq/L) and calcium (0 mEq/L) content, with other formulations available
- Color-Coded & Barcoded:
- Bags are color-coded by potassium content and barcoded for easy identification, reducing mix-ups
- Sterile & Non-Pyrogenic:
- Manufactured to high standards for patient safety
- Latex/DEHP-Free:
- Free from harmful chemicals and allergens
Benefits
- Simplified Preparation:
- The two-chamber design allows for quick, simple activation, reducing preparation steps and saving time
- Reduced Error Risk:
- Minimizes the chance of administering the wrong solution or diluent alone
- Improved Patient Safety:
- Sterile, contamination-resistant design protects patients from infection and chemical exposure
- Effective Treatment:
- Delivers balanced electrolytes and pH correction, leading to better patient outcomes
- Machine Compatibility:
- Works with standard dialysis machines, integrating easily into existing workflows
