Overview

The Crit-Line^® III monitor measures hematocrit, percent change in blood volume and oxygen saturation in real time for application in the treatment of dialysis patients with the intended purpose of providing a more effective treatment for both the dialysis patient and the dialysis technician. Based on the data that the monitor provides, the clinician/nurse, under physician direction, intervenes (i.e., increases or decreases the rate of which fluid is removed from the blood) in order to remove the maximum amount of fluid from the dialysis patient without the patient experiencing the common complications of dialysis which include nausea, cramping and vomiting.

Profiles

The Crit-Line III monitor offers easy-to-interpret patient profiles that can help the clinician improve the accuracy of treatment assessment and intervention during hemodialysis. By monitoring blood volume percent changes, caregivers can adjust treatment as necessary to maximize fluid removal and prevent common symptoms of dialysis, such as nausea, vomiting and cramping.

An "A" profile indicates that the patient’s plasma refill rate is occurring at the same or a greater rate than ultrafiltration. This profile suggests that the ultrafiltration rate might be increased without immediate risk of intradialytic symptoms.

A "B" profile is a gradual slope that has been targeted to find the best compromise between a high ultrafiltration rate and the prevention of intradialytic symptoms. The ideal slope is not a fixed percentage of change in BV and will vary from patient to patient.

A "C" profile is represented by a steep slope, which indicates a rapid decrease in blood volume and bears a higher risk for intradialytic symptoms such as lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, cramping or hypotension.

Crit-Line III Monitor

The Crit-Line III monitor is a fluid management monitoring tool which incorporates photo-optical technology to non-invasively measure absolute hematocrit and continuous oxygen saturation. In addition, the Crit-Line III monitor calculates the percent change in the dialysis patient's intravascular blood volume. The auto-scaling screen displays simultaneous graphic output of percent change in blood volume vs. time as well as alphanumeric output of Hct and oxygen saturation.

Part Number CL 10021053

Blood Chambers

The Crit-Line blood chamber is a sterile, single-use, disposable, optical cuvette designed for use with the Crit-Line III monitor's sensor clip during acute and chronic hemodialysis therapy to non-invasively measure hematocrit, percent change in blood volume and oxygen saturation. The blood chamber is connected between the arterial bloodline and the dialyzer within the extracorporeal circuit during the hemodialysis treatment.

Individually packaged and pre-sterilized disposable blood chambers for use with the Crit-Line III monitor. Luer-Lock attachment between arterial blood line and the dialyzer. Single-use only, disposable.

Packaged 36 per box or 288 per case.
Part Number 191058

Pole Mount

Heavy-duty mounting system secures the Crit-Line^® III monitor to the IV pole of a hemodialysis machine. Frees up storage space on machine and protects monitor from accidental drops.

Part Number CL90000023

Power Supply

Switching power supply provides operational power and battery charging from 120-240 VAC.

Part Number CL44300012

Power Cord

Three-pronged (i.e., grounded) power cord for use with USA and Canadian electrical outlets. Cords are medical grade.

Part Number CL90000035

Wireless Printer

The client radio attaches to the top of the Crit-Line monitor and allows for treatment data (i.e., the treatment profile) to be wirelessly sent to the server radio which is attached to a computer where the printer software is loaded. It is recommended that you have one client radio for each Crit-Line III monitor.

Client Radio - Part Number CL10023029
1ft Data Cable - Part Number CL10023036
Y split Cable - Part Number CL10023037

Server Radio

The server radio attaches to a computer where the printer software is loaded. The server radio receives information from the client radio and sends this data to the printer software. Usually one server radio is needed for each facility. Radio must be used with Crit-Line printer software (PN CL10029504)

Part Number CL10023030

Printer Software

Allows for the printout of treatment profiles at the end of each treatment. Software is designed for Windows based operating systems.

This software, version 1.6 or higher, also allows for the collection of raw data (at one minute intervals) as well as electionic capture of the patient treatment profiles.

V 1.6 or higher.
