5008S CorDiax: The Benchmark for High-Performance Hemodiafiltration
The Fresenius Medical Care 5008S CorDiax is a hemodialysis machine designed to provide safe therapy, integrating HighVolumeHDF as standard. This approach, based on high post-dilution substitution volumes, is essential to maximize the benefits of hemodiafiltration and improve clinical outcomes for patients with chronic kidney failure.
The 5008S CorDiax features AutoSubplus, an innovative system that optimizes the substitution volume without manual intervention. Unlike conventional systems, AutoSubplus continuously analyzes conditions within the dialyzer and adjusts the substitution rate according to the patient’s specific needs. By performing multiple checks per minute, this technology ensures efficient filtration while minimizing the risk of excessive blood concentration and high transmembrane pressure.
One of the major concerns in hemodialysis is the risk of accidental venous disconnection, which can lead to significant blood loss. The 5008S CorDiax is equipped with Venous Access Monitoring (VAM), an intelligent system that continuously monitors venous and arterial pressure using an adaptive algorithm. If abnormal pressure variations are detected, the blood pump stops immediately, and the venous clamp closes, allowing medical staff to react promptly and ensure patient safety.
Historically, HDF therapy required the use of substitution fluid bags, increasing staff workload and operational costs. The 5008S CorDiax revolutionizes this process with ONLINEplus, a technology that directly produces sterile and non-pyrogenic substitution fluid in real time. This method relies on a two-stage filtration system, ensuring optimal quality and perfect biocompatibility.
In line with an eco-friendly approach, the 5008S CorDiax incorporates features that optimize fluid and energy consumption:
- AutoFlow, which automatically adjusts the dialysate flow rate based on actual blood flow, reducing water and concentrate waste.
- EcoFlow, which minimizes dialysate and energy consumption during preparation and post-reinfusion while preventing bacterial growth.
These innovations not only reduce costs but also limit the environmental impact of the treatment while maintaining optimal dialysis quality.
The 5008S CorDiax is designed to simplify the work of healthcare professionals and ensure intuitive operation. Its ergonomic user interface and numerous automation features streamline setup and session monitoring. Additionally, the blood lines developed for HighVolumeHDF ensure safe and efficient handling, making hemodiafiltration as easy as conventional hemodialysis.
By combining safety, clinical performance, and sustainability, the 5008S CorDiax represents a major advancement in modern hemodialysis, offering patients high-quality treatment while reducing the workload for healthcare professionals.
