RenaClear® Dialyzer Cleaning System Improve Dialyzer Performance with Automated Reprocessing

• Increase reuse of even difficult to reprocess dialyzers.
• Decrease the number of dialyzers purchased.
• Decrease staff time and exposure to blood.
• Decrease biowaste and dialyzer waste.

Unique injector mechanism cleans inside header

Increased Safety

• Cleans dialyzers without removing header caps.
  - Staff exposure to blood products is reduced.
  - Chance of header cap mix-ups is eliminated, enhancing patient safety.

Cost Effective

• Ease-of-use saves staff time.
• Dialyzer reuse may result in cost savings.
  Fewer dialyzer purchases for Renaclear® study patients resulted in an estimated cost savings of over $15,000.¹

Automated

• Provides consistent water pressure and flow applied to the dialyzer membranes, reducing the risk of fiber and component damage.
• Provides a consistent, well-documented, quality controlled dialyzer cleaning process in compliance with AAMI/CMS guidelines for dialyzer reprocessing.
  

Environmentally Friendly

Study patients reduced environmental waste annually:²

• 488 lbs. of biowaste
• 274 lbs. of dialyzer waste:
  - 197 lbs. of plastic
  - 55 lbs. of fiber
  - 22 lbs. of urethane
  

Disinfectant
Use either Renaclear® Disinfectant or Renalin® 100 Cold Sterilant to reduce the possibility of cross-contamination in the system.
