acute extracorporeal therapy

Carpediem Cardio-Renal Pediatric Dialysis Emergency Machine

Provides continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for acute kidney injury and fluid overloaded pediatric patients weighing 2.5 to 10 kgs.

Innovations in pediatric CRRT

For the first time, infants with acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) can be treated with a dialysis system designed specifically for them.1

A miniaturized, high-precision platform1,2

For the most fragile patients

The first of its kind, the Carpediem™ system offers a dedicated extracorporeal CRRT to low weight patients and responds to the needs of the most fragile patient.

  • CVVH, CVVHD, and SCUF modalities
  • Low priming volume and pump flow
  • High-precision scales
  • Continuous or bolus heparin pump delivery

When size and scale matter.​

Neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload are under-recognized conditions which often lead to morbidity and mortality.3

Carpediem™ system

97%

neonate survival rate upon discontinuation of treatment.4,†

Tailored performance. Precise control.

  • Closely monitor fluid balance:
    +/- 1 g high-precision scales2
  • Enable use of small catheter sizes5
  • Reduce blood cell and vessel damage while providing necessary and adequate diffusive clearances: 2–50 mL/min low blood flow rates1,2,6

A renewed focus on what is most important.​

For the first time, there is no need to adapt adult machines and weigh the complexities that have traditionally plagued pCRRT treatments.7
