Portable
- Optimize floor space with a single solution in your critical care unit
- Solve for infrastructure limitations and overcrowded treatment rooms
- Configurable and modular to meet the needs of your clinic
Economical
- Requires a single weekly hot rinse saving your staff upwards of 14 hours / wk / device in daily cleaning time
- On-demand dialysate generation is >80% cheaper than CRRT2 pre-mixed bags & pre-assembled cartridge/filter sets
- Storage of acid concentrates requires ~95% less space compared to CRRT2 bag storage.
The Quanta™ Dialysis System empowers staff to spend more time focusing on direct patient care, and less time on-boarding and performing routine maintenance.
Simple
- Intuitive display and touch screen user interface allow for effective training.
- Generates dialysate on-demand helping to minimize the disruption of clinical work practices for improved hospital throughput.
- Delivers a 97% success rate among HCP’s with minimal training.
Efficient
- Simplified design may reduce labor intensive tasks.
- Eliminate the need for bagged dialysate changes, which can occur 10+ times over a 24-hour shift, saving time and money.
I love the cartridge—I’m wowed by that technology, and I love how it’s all contained. I love that this machine can provide dialysis 3 days per week. I think that it offers a lot of flexibility. My ‘ah-ha’ is that it’s extremely flexible in different environments.

CLINICAL EVIDENCE
The Quanta Dialysis System (previously known as the SC+) is a small, easy-to-use hemodialysis system that was designed for portable use without compromising on dialysis performance. The study described showed that the Quanta System delivered safe and effective hemodialysis in a diverse population of 60 patients, representative of a typical dialysis population, using regimens between 2 and 7 treatments per week.

The use of passive and active control allows errors to be minimized across a wider dynamic range of conditions. For the Quanta System (previously known as the SC+), the average flow balance error was 1 mL/hr with an SD of 19 mL/hr, and with ultrafiltration it was 13 mL/hr and an SD of 20 mL/hr across all conditions. This paper demonstrates that the hemodialysis system, a small, simple, and versatile CE marked device, operates within the limits required by international standards across a wide range of experimental conditions.

As part of the Quanta System’s (previously known as the SC+) design validation, human factors testing was performed with 17 healthcare professionals (nephrology nurses and healthcare assistants) and 15 home users (patients and caregivers). To assess usability and safety, the human factors testing involved between 4.5 and 6 hours of training and, after a period of training decay, a subsequent test session in which participants independently performed tasks on the Quanta System. Between the 2 user groups, there were only 29 errors observed out of 1216 opportunities for errors, despite minimal training. Errors that did occur were minor and attributed to an initial lack of familiarity with the device; none were safety related. Among prevalent dialysis patients and healthcare professionals, the hemodialysis system was easy to use, even with minimal training and a learning decay period, and had a high level of use safety.

In the United Kingdom, most hemodialysis patients currently receive facility-based dialysis costing more than £36,350 per year, including patient transport. We found that the Quanta System (previously known as the SC+) offers improved cost-effectiveness for both 3-weekly and 3.5-weekly self-care dialysis performed at home or as self-care, in-center versus fully assisted dialysis provided 3 weekly with conventional machines in facilities.
