Technical requirements: The current equipment for intensive care dialysis consists of the Prismaflex model (8 machines) and Prismax (2 machines). The two oldest Prismaflex must be discarded due to their age and wear and tear, and replaced with 2 new dialysis machines.
The user interface and terminology are the same on Prismaflex and Prismax, users can therefore use both the machines without compromising patient safety. Prismaflex and Prismax also use identical disposable equipment and can, therefore, be used interchangeably.
Replacing the system/machines with a couple of machines in the same department that perform the same function and treatment, could lead to major challenges and affect patient safety/patient treatment negatively.
Technically, there are also many similarities that make it easier to operate and maintain Prismaflex and Prismax in parallel. Both of the models are implemented in the current new patient journal, Helseplattformen (HP).
It is important that any new machines can be implemented quickly and simply in HP. HP's integration resources have a heavy workload with the implementation of HP, and will have limited resources and small spare time to take in a new model that must be implemented in HP.
It would be particularly challenging in the intensive care and dialysis department's many clinics to implement good training for everyone, and particularly in these times when there already is a new patient journal system that the personnel must familiarise themselves with, which requires both time and resources.
