AK 98 Dialysis Machine

Concentrate standby mode uses zero concentrate, which could mean annual savings up to $139/machine (500 mL/min start flow).^1,2  

High-precision ceramic concentrate pumps and electromagnetic flow meters mean no pH probe needed and no moving parts to calculate flow rate.³ 

Preventative maintenance is only required every other year.²

Intuitive, app-like interface designed to simplify treatment with fewer steps and guide users every step of the way.²

The open system allows fast, familiar setup by a technician or a nurse, allowing greater flexibility and utilization of staff time and resources.²

"The machine is very convenient, and the instructions on the screen make it very easy to use." — Demi Miller, Certified Hemodialysis Technician (CHT)

Two-way, HL7-based connectivity allows direct push-pull capability between machine and EMR to potentially reduce errors and save time from manual entry.⁴

Battery back-up provides up to 30 minutes to move the machine around after setup. During this time, the blood pump continues running (the dialysate pump goes into stand-by mode), and treatment data is retained.²

SmartSense alerts enable the machine to self-clear nuisance pressure alarms and avoid unnecessary stoppage of treatment due to brief pressure fluctuations often related to patient movement.^.2

Able to provide all therapy options — conventional 3x/wk, short daily or nocturnal.²

Capable of both sodium and bicarbonate profiling, allowing for smooth and constant adjustment.²

Disinfection routines shut off automatically and do not require user attention or handling of chemicals.²

Our smallest HD machine — up to 49% less space and 22% less weight than competitor machines.⁵

The compact size and reduced weight, with Shelf Extension Kit for portable reverse osmosis (RO) transport with the machines,* save space and make it easy to move around.⁵

^{*The AK 98 Dialysis Machine and Shelf Extension Kit are sold separately. Mar Cor WRO 300 H portable RO system and PTG-520 Carbon Block sold separately by Evoqua Water Technologies.}

Studies show that consistently reaching the adequacy target may reduce the risk of all-cause mortality.^6-8

Monitoring Kt/V in each treatment can help identify trends in dialysis efficiency sooner than in monthly labs.²

The Diascan function calculates whether the desired and minimum values for Kt/V, set by the operator, can be reached by treatment end.²

"I love the Diascan feature. I'm able to be much more proactive about patient care with this." — Michelle Crawford, RN, Director of Nursing
