Retrofit of heat exchangers to haemodialysis machines

Frances

Renal technicians at the Maidstone dialysis unit have investigated the potential costs and benefits of retro-fitting heat exchangers to their existing Braun Dialog+ haemodialysis machines.

Download the case study and how-to guide as pdf (above). You can also download a powerpoint presentation (including voice-over) by renal technician, Fraser Campbell, explaining the costs and benefits of the project - could be useful when approaching your Trust for funding.
