Redundant fail-safe protection systems and alarms provide continuous monitoring of the procedure to ensure superior patient and operator safety. A printer is provided, which records the initial protocol and final separation parameters, alarm conditions if they occur, as well as the procedure parameter status every ten minutes. The modular component design provides for ease in testing, maintenance and repair. Fresenius' AS 104 represents the first true advancement in therapeutic plasma exchange. Utilization of blood and plasma flow comparisons at specific interface positions permits extended cellular residence time in the gravitational field and increases the range of descent into the packed cells to reduce platelet loss.
Plasma separation is maximized for the highest plasma yield.
This menu option on the AS 104 provides precise control of separation parameters. You can count on better consistency and overall quality without using color charts. The unique extracorporeal circuit returns platelet rich plasma to the patient. Automatic interface positioning during dual stage separation provides a high degree of platelet purity. In fact, optimal settings consistently deliver platelets at PH levels that are ideal for 5-day storage.
