The limited care setting offers a greater flexibility of HD treatment in terms of when and how often the treatment is performed and duration of each treatment. Several studies have indicated that this has a positive effect on medical outcomes and quality of living. In a limited care clinic, one of the benefits with a central dialysis fluid supply is that it can be applied to Gambro monitors, which are conveniently operated by patients or the clinic staff.
Home HD offers the greatest flexibility in terms of treatment schemes, such as Short Daily HD, Nocturnal HD or conventional thrice-weekly HD. Gambro’s line of Home HD products supports all treatment modalities.
The fully integrated functionality of the single patient water treatment units, ultrafilter kit and the dialysis monitor combined with dry bicarbonate concentrates and heat disinfection ensures hemodialysis of the highest standard. This also opens up a possibility to perform high flux HD at home or in a limited care unit. By securing every step from water supply to a patient’s vascular access, Gambro’s product line ensures that treatment quality is never compromised – even if a treatment is performed in the patient’s home.
