AK 98 Dialysis Machine

The AK 98 Dialysis Machine is designed to be an optimal platform for chronic dialysis, skilled nursing and hospital care environments.


Relentless innovation brings simplicity and reliability to hemodialysis

It's simple. Meaningful innovation should make the lives of its users easier. That's why the AK 98 Dialysis Machine is designed to be Vantive’s most convenient and reliable hemodialysis (HD) machine ever. Its unique features and innovative design help simplify treatment with fewer steps, protect patient safety by helping to potentially reduce programming errors, and minimize disruptions and downtime. All of this "less" adds up to more operational and cost savings for facilities.

As the newest innovation within our HD portfolio, the AK 98 Dialysis Machine is an important piece of the total support that Vantive, as a partner, brings to advance kidney care.

Less is more

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
