The Neokidney fits on a nightstand and is therefore less intrusive on patients' home and family life. No additional 25-60 litres fluid system is needed. As the Neokidney uses a sorbent cartridge to regenerate dialysis fluid, it only uses 5 litres of fluids which come in bags.
One of the unique features of the Neokidney is its fully “cardiac floating” electric power technology. It comes with a simple two pole power plug (110V and 220V) without any earthing comparable with a phone charger. This leads to patients being very flexible in choosing their preferred place for treatment, both within and outside of the home environment.
The Neokidney offers all the advantages of frequent low-flow (max. 300 ml/min) dialysis:
- Better regulation of the fluid balance, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications, such as high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy.
- More frequent dialysis means an improvement in the phosphocalcium metabolism.
- Less (additional) medication required and a shorter recovery time after dialysis sessions treatment.
The Neokidney is the smallest and lightest Home Hemodialysis device ever. With a weight close to 10kg and a compact design, it fits into cabin-size luggage, giving the patient full freedom to travel and choose their treatment location.
