TPE Filtration Set

Therapeutic plasma exchange is associated with positive clinical outcomes1

Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an extracorporeal blood purification technique used to treat patients with a variety of disorders; it has become a relatively common treatment modality. It is associated with positive clinical outcomes in the treatment of Guillain-Barré syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), myasthenia gravis and Goodpasture syndrome.

Expand beyond CRRT to deliver membrane therapeutic plasma exchange in the ICU

Treatment indications for TPE have increased over time. TPE can be delivered in the ICU using Vantive’s PrisMax and Prismaflex systems, giving clinicians the flexibility to deliver multiple therapies at the bedside anytime, with ease and confidence, in a simple and efficient manner.

Hospitals that already own a PrisMax or Prismaflex device can run TPE without purchasing a new device.2

Confidence

Provides enhanced safety features for greater confidence in the delivery of TPE therapy.

Efficiency

Helps to streamline operations in the ICU when delivering TPE therapy.

Filtration TPE sets powered by PrisMax and Prismaflex expand treatment options in the ICU

Simplicity and improved ease of use for TPE delivery

Setting up and delivering TPE therapy on the PrisMax and Prismaflex systems is similar to setting up a CRRT procedure,2 which may reduce the amount of additional training required.   

The intuitive user interface of the PrisMax and Prismaflex systems may help to support smooth therapy initiation.2,3

The systems offer the capability for citrate anticoagulation and an integrated syringe pump for heparin anticoagulation.2

Enhanced safety features for greater confidence

The PrisMax and Prismaflex systems offer the ability to delay the start of therapy until the TPE circuit has been filled with blood before initiating treatment.2

The self-regulating pressure system can automatically accommodate blood flow rate adjustments.2

Flow-rate capabilities allow adjustments for lower-body-weight patients.2

Efficiencies to help streamline operations in the ICU

The only additional incremental cost includes the purchase of TPE sets, anticoagulant, replacement solution and procedural disposables,2 allowing for an affordable and predictable treatment cost.4

Around-the-clock critical care support

TPE with the PrisMax System or the Prismaflex System allows clinicians to autonomously support time-critical indications with TPE therapy, 24/7. This can help meet diverse patient needs and the demands of multiple critical care therapies in the ICU.

INTENDED USE

The Prismaflex TPE1000/TPE2000 set is indicated for use only with the Prismaflex control unit or with the PrisMax control unit (in countries where PrisMax is cleared or registered), after having selected TPE therapy (therapeutic plasma exchange). The Prismaflex TPE1000/TPE2000 set is intended for use in therapeutic plasma exchange, thus in diseases where removal of plasma components is indicated.

The PrisMax control unit is intended for:

  • Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) for patients with acute renal failure and/or fluid overload.

  • Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) therapy for patients with diseases where removal of plasma components is indicated.

     

The Prismaflex control unit is intended for:

  • Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy for patients with acute renal failure and/or fluid overload.

  • Therapeutic Plasma Exchange Therapy for patients with diseases where removal of plasma components is indicated.
