Enhancing Patient Safety in Artificial Kidney Therapy
Advanced Non-Invasive Sensor Technology for Safe Hemodialysis
Non-invasive sensor technology in hemodialysis machines significantly improves patient safety and operational efficiency. The ultrasonic sensors reduce the risk of life-threatening complications and increase the reliability of renal treatments by continuously and accurately monitoring the extracorporeal fluid circuits for air bubbles, fill levels, and leaks.

Artificial Kidney Therapy in Nephrology
Hemodialysis is a blood purification treatment that is used for both acute and chronic kidney failure. It acts as a renal replacement therapy alongside kidney transplantation. The procedure involves the diffusion of waste products through a semipermeable membrane in a dialyzer, in which the patient's blood circulates outside the body. This membrane separates the blood from a dialysis solution so that toxins and excess water can be removed.
Improving Patient Safety & Operational Efficiency in Renal Care with Non-Invasive Sensors
Throughout the process of transferring blood from the human body to the dialysis machine and back, as well as during membrane diffusion, numerous critical parameters must be monitored and controlled. For reasons of patient safety, non-invasive clamp-on air bubble detectors, such as the medical SONOCHECK ABD, continuously monitor the blood circulation for the presence of air bubbles, which can lead to life-threatening air embolism.
Defects in the dialyzer membrane can lead to unwanted blood loss through the separated dialysate. Therefore, highly reliable blood leak detectors, such as the BLD03, constantly check the dialysate tubing for traces of blood.
During dialysis, accurate monitoring of fluid levels in the containers and in the dialysis machine is essential. Non-invasive level meters, such as the SONOCHECK ALD, provide continuous, real-time data without compromising the integrity of the fluid container. They help to maintain an optimal fluid balance, prevent overflow or undersupply, and ensure that dialysate and waste are properly managed. The fail-safe sensors also eliminate the need for frequent manual checks, thereby improving workflow efficiency.
Why are flow meters and air bubble detectors important for dialysis systems
- Maximum patient safety with non-invasive clamp-on sensors to prevent unwanted air inlets and blood loss
- Reliable monitoring of air bubbles with medical ultrasonic air bubble detectors to prevent air embolism
