A new parallel plate dialyser. III. Preliminary experience on clinical performance.
The clinical model of a new parallel plate dialyser with a membrane area of 0.96 m2 with cuprophane 150 PM has been tested in more than 2000 dialyses with good clinical results. The simple design permits an aseptic, semiautomatic assembly and makes cheap industrial production possible. Clinical clearance values for urea, creatinine and uric acid are presented as well as data for ultrafiltration, residual blood volume and rupture frequency. The specific efficiency per square meter has been found to be high.
