Baxter’s Renal Replacement System and Blood Warmer Cleared in EU

Baxter’s PrisMax renal replacement system and TherMax blood warmer both received the CE Mark allowing them to be marketed in the European Union.

The devices are cleared to be used in conjunction with one another. The PrisMax system is used for removing waste products, excessive fluids and inflammatory mediators, while the TherMax device maintains blood temperature while it is purified outside the body.

The two devices also assist in the management of sepsis and kidney injury.
