Quanta Selfcare+ Heamodialysis Sytem

I’ve just been told about another machine to be available around 20011/12 made by this company

According to the message I received I quote " Although it will not be available until 2011/2012 it is a UK machine and seems to be streets ahead of anything else including the NX Stage machine now coming into use in the UK from America"

According to the first page of the brochure:

Quanta Fluid Solutions introduces SelfCare+,
a light, small and simple to use portable
haemodialysis system designed for patient self
care.
The SelfCare+ system is based on a disposable
cartridge and it incorporates features that
provide extensive benefits for patients and
renal units.
SelfCare+ provides haemodialysis treatments
of the highest quality available. The SelfCare+
system generates a continuous supply of high
quality bicarbonate dialysate solution.
SelfCare+ uses standard dialysis consumables;
it is safe, simple and inherently clean.
Home care has been proven to be a very cost
effective form of renal care. SelfCare+ will
enable more patients to adopt home care.

Interesting stuff:)

Thanks for sharing this! I have heard of this as well in Canada! Since Canada is not getting NxStage I am hoping for this! :slight_smile:

The NX stage still wins for me at the moment as the Quanta still requires a bulky RO unit, not very portable.
I’m told they’re working on it.

[B]Yep! NxStage still wins hands down for me too. I looked at he schematics. It looks as if its a traditional RO machine with acid and bicarb, just shrunk down. No thanks.
