Optimize Dialysis Treatment with Transonic HD03 Hemodialysis Monitor
The Transonic HD03 Hemodialysis Monitor is an essential tool for healthcare professionals managing chronic and acute hemodialysis patients. Designed to optimize dialysis treatments, this device delivers real-time data on vascular access flow, delivered blood flow, and recirculation, helping to ensure that dialysis is delivered effectively and efficiently. By detecting flow issues, such as stenosis, incorrect needle placement, or catheter occlusion, the HD03 allows clinicians to take proactive steps to optimize treatment on the spot.
A key feature of the HD03 Hemodialysis Monitor is its ability to measure dialysis adequacy by monitoring delivered blood flow and access recirculation. Accurate measurement of these parameters is crucial for identifying potential dialysis dose delivery problems. The monitor helps healthcare providers identify issues within the AV access and central venous catheters, offering immediate feedback for optimizing the treatment.
Vascular access flow is a critical indicator of the health of a dialysis access point. A drop in flow can signal the onset of stenosis, allowing timely intervention to prevent further complications. On the other hand, high flow can indicate the potential for high-output cardiac failure, which requires prompt attention. With the HD03, healthcare providers can easily trend access flow over time, enabling proactive management of the patient’s vascular access.
The HD03 is capable of measuring access recirculation, a late indicator of a failing dialysis access. Using Transonic’s ultrasound dilution technology, the device can differentiate between cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary recirculation, ensuring that accurate recirculation percentages are provided. This feature is especially helpful for detecting inadvertent reversal of blood lines, confirming needle placement, and optimizing dialysis efficiency by minimizing recirculation.
The HD03 is designed with user convenience in mind. Its operator-independent functionality and intuitive on-screen step-by-step procedure make it easy for healthcare providers to perform measurements with minimal training. Results are displayed instantly on the HD03’s VGA LCD interactive touch screen, ensuring quick decision-making.
Additionally, the HD03 is portable, thanks to its rechargeable battery that allows easy mobility between patients, making it ideal for both hospital settings and home dialysis care.
The HD03 offers flexibility in its usage with two operational modes:
- HD03 Patient-less Measurement Module (PMM): This mode provides real-time results that can be manually recorded in the patient’s chart.
- HD03 Administrator Management Software (DTM): This software allows for the trending and archiving of measurement results under a patient’s name, helping providers maintain a comprehensive record of dialysis treatment.
The HD03 is suitable for both adult and pediatric patients, and can be used on all types of vascular access, including AV fistulas, grafts, and catheters, making it a versatile tool in the management of hemodialysis patients.
With its ability to quickly and accurately measure blood flow, vascular access flow, and recirculation, the Transonic HD03 Hemodialysis Monitor ensures optimized dialysis treatment for patients. This easy-to-use, portable device allows healthcare providers to detect problems early and intervene proactively, improving patient outcomes and optimizing dialysis efficiency.
