Safe processes for better quality dialysis
Simultaneously promoting health and being efficient – Bürkert is the ideal partner for the challenges involved in dialysis, thanks to its industry-specific portfolio covering all types of fluid handling (valves, sensors, pumps, controllers).
As the prevalence of chronic kidney disease increases globally, so do the demands on modern dialysis devices: patients expect functional reliability and comfort, the healthcare system increases cost pressures, manufacturers of dialysis devices strive to take advantage of market growth opportunities. We offer you proven, innovative fluid systems that are also highly integrated and cost-effective – including multifunctional, compact application solutions to help you optimise and monitor processes, save space and increase functional reliability and operational safety.
Process optimisation in dialysis with Bürkert
We analyse processes too – as fluidics experts, we develop solutions for your dialysis device, from customised components through to individually tailored systems. Here is a selection – you can find out more in a no-obligation consultation.
The requirement: high accuracy of the dialysate composition.
The Bürkert solution: Bürkert valve types 6164, 6144, 6106, 6712 and 6724 guarantee high functional reliability over a long service life with optimal power consumption and minimal switching noise. This makes your devices more compact and energy efficient, and ensures restful sleep for the patient thanks to low switching noise.
The requirement: safe, reliable pressure control in the smallest of spaces.
The Bürkert solution: Bürkert’s experts combine valves, sensors and control technology, as well as diaphragm pumps from Schwarzer Precision, into one-off, affordable, performance and space-optimised solutions for your requirement.
The requirement: high accuracy of the dialysate.
The Bürkert solution: the components for conveying, switching and mixing the various media, e.g. diaphragm pumps from Schwarzer Precision and type 6628 and 0330 switching valves, are used here. Analysis sensors facilitate monitoring as well as direct control of parameters for conductivity, pH value and many more.
The requirement: regulating the patient’s blood circulation and ensuring correct perfusion of the dialysis membrane.
The Bürkert solution: highly integrated solutions with valves, sensors and compressors regulate pressure, control flow rate and maintain the fill level in the drip chamber.
The requirement: disposal of used dialysate and comprehensive cleaning and disinfection of the fluidics system.
The Bürkert solution: our compact, media-separated type 6628 and 0330 valves have proven themselves over the years with their throughput and chemical resistance in dialysis applications.
