2008T Hemodialysis Machine with CLiC Overview
The CLiC device is used to non-invasively measure a hemodialysis
patient’s hematocrit, oxygen saturation and percent change in blood
volume. These measurements occur in real time in order to provide a more
effective treatment. The measurements are displayed on the 2008T
hemodialysis machine’s “Crit-Line” screen. Under the direction of a
physician, the clinician/nurse can increase or decrease the ultrafiltration
(UF) rate in order to remove the maximum amount of fluid without the
patient experiencing the common dialysis related complications which
include hypotension, nausea, cramping and vomiting.
The system consists of software for the 2008T hemodialysis machine, a
Crit-Line in a Clip (CLiC) device, a CLiC device-specific verification filter
which is used to calibrate and verify the CLiC device, and a disposable
Crit-Line Blood Chamber.
CLiC Device
The CLiC device connects via a cable with a USB connector to the port on
the right side of the 2008T hemodialysis machine display screen.
The CLiC device contains a sensor that monitors the patient’s hematocrit,
oxygen saturation and percent change in blood volume during dialysis. The
CLiC device clips onto the Crit-Line Blood Chamber which is positioned
between the arterial bloodline and the inlet port of the dialyzer. The CLiC
device shines a red light through the lens of the Crit-Line Blood Chamber
and onto a sensor on the opposite side of the blood chamber. This sensor
detects the level of absorption and scattering of the red light as it is
transmitted through the patient’s blood, which flows through the blood
chamber.
Disposable Crit-Line Blood Chamber
The Crit-Line Blood Chamber is a sterile, disposable piece designed to
ensure a consistent viewing area for the CLiC device sensor. This provides
accurate, repeatable Hematocrit and oxygen saturation measurements.
CLiC Verification Filter
The CLiC device features a verification filter unique to each CLiC device.
The verification filter is used to periodically verify the accuracy of the
CLiC device. The CLiC Verification Filter is attached to the CLiC device’s
USB cable. The CLiC device should be securely clipped to the verification
filter when it is not in use.
When the CLiC device is stored on its verification filter, the 2008T
hemodialysis machine automatically verifies the accuracy of the CLiC
device when entering Dialysis Mode.
If the CLiC device is not stored on the CLiC Verification Filter, the device
must be verified at least once per month.
