ClinConnect Summary

The study will compare performance to typical values obtained with commercially available dialyzers used for high flux hemodialysis and comparing the Clearum HS dialyzer to the baseline values of a control FX80 Dialyzer.

The duration of the trial is 2 weeks for the FX80 control dialyzer + 6 weeks with the Clearum HS dialyzer used for 3x weekly high flux hemodialysis.

The sampling, reported in Table 1 below, will be done at mid-week sessions (pre and post session sampling) and consists of a blood draw for baseline dialysis with the FX80 weeks 1 and 2, or Clearum HS dialyzer at weeks 3, 5 a...
