New SSU Filter Lowers Dialysis EPO Cost

The SSU filter received 510k approval this month.  This smaller, single-stage filter is ideal for use on the bicarb central feed lines at the wall box.  The SSU can replace the more expensive DSU on the bicarb line just before the bicarb enters the dialysis machine.

A cost analysis on EPO savings using ultrapure dialysate shows how you can improve patient treatments and save significantly on EPO.

Nephros FDA Approval for MSU and SSU

Thursday, July 14, 2011 – the FDA provided 510k clearance for the Nephros MSU and SSU filters.

The MSU filter provides a greater flow rate than the DSU (Dual Stage Ultrafilter) while maintaining the .005 micron pore size.  The SSU filter is a smaller, single-stage, ultrafilter cartridge that can be used in dialysis to filter central feed bicarbonate.  Hospitals, clinics and homeowners can also use the SSU on faucets and ice machines.

All the Nephros ultrafilters provide exceptional protection for patients and can help lower the cost of dialysis treatments as well as Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs).

Filters for Drinking Water and Ice Machines.

Direct tap water can contain bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.  Immune compromised patients have a reduced ability to fight off these contaminants.  The Safe Spout Ultrafilter (SSU) is a cold sterilization filter that purifies biologically contaminated water.  The SSU is easily adapted to most sinks and in-line applications (ice machines).  This end point filter provides protection from waterborne infections.  The SSU lasts longer than other point-of-use filters that are currently on the market.
