Abstract

An experimental model of a hemodialysis monitor has been developed to perform ultrafiltration control, and urea and creatinine clearance tests. This model allowed us to develop an original device that separates the used dialysate from fresh dialysate and to define the characteristics of an industrial prototype which ultimate objective is to reduce the costs of haemodialysis treatment in low and middle-income countries.

Keywords: Cost; Coût; Dialysis monitor; Générateur d’hémodialyse; Low and middle-income countries; Pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire; Prototype.
