Hemodialysis machines
2008K@home Machine
The 2008K@home™ hemodialysis machine is powerful enough for in-center treatment but simplified for use in a patient's home. Built on in-center technology, it provides patients with a reliable and robust dialysis experience where they're most comfortable — at home.
Leaders in Hemodialysis
When dialysis professionals seek the most trusted hemodialysis (HD) technology, they look to us, Fresenius Medical Care Renal Technologies, a division of Fresenius Medical Care North America. For over 30 years, we have provided nephrologists with the tools necessary to meet the clinical needs of hemodialysis patients and caregivers alike.
Nephrologists, clinicians and patients rely on Fresenius Renal Technologies to deliver the ideal combination of innovation and practical application. Our research and development teams work collaboratively with physicians and clinicians to provide powerful tools designed to not only maximize treatment success but also provide a variety of treatment options ranging from in-center hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and home hemodialysis. We believe these options allow for a more customized approach to therapy designed to best fit the needs of patients.
Home is Not a New Stage in Hemodialysis
Nephrologists and patients have been working together to offer home dialysis since the 1970s. Today, home hemodialysis (HHD) is one of the fastest-growing renal treatments available for chronic dialysis patients.1 And with the ever-evolving healthcare environment, HHD is becoming a popular option among physicians and patients to treat end stage renal disease.
Only patients, together with their doctor, can decide if home hemodialysis and the 2008K@home machine is right for them. On the 2008K@home machine, patients have the flexibility, based on their physician's prescriptions, to perform a variety of therapy options.
The 2008K@home machine offers greater treatment flexibility, which gives patients the freedom to dialyze on their schedule. With a committed care partner, patients can dialyze at home and achieve results that stand to improve their lifestyle.
