Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Polyflux HD-C4 (Gambro Renal Products) is a new dialyzer based on the existing Polyflux H membrane and dialyzer technology, but which achieves a performance comparable to Polyflux 210H in a significantly smaller device.

The objectives of this study are:

1. To compare and contrast small and large molecule removal by the Polyflux HD-C4 and Polyflux 210H dialyzers under conditions of routine hemodialysis; and,
2. To compare and contrast the ease of use of the Polyflux HD-C4 dialyzer with that of the Polyflux 210H under conditions of routine clinical use for hemodialysis.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

HD-C4 First, then 210H

Subjects will be randomly assigned to begin the first week of three consecutive treatments with the Polyflux HD-C4 dialyzer. Following the third treatment, the subjects will be switched to the Polyflux 210H dialyzer for a second week of three consecutive treatments. Therefore each subject will have a total of six consecutive dialysis treatments.

Group Type OTHER

Polyflux 210H dialyzer

Intervention Type DEVICE

Three consecutive treatments with the Polyflux 210H dialyzer. All study treatments will be performed in the standard hemodialysis mode.

Polyflux HD-C4

Intervention Type DEVICE

Three consecutive treatments with the Polyflux HD-C4 dialyzer. All study treatments will be performed in the standard hemodialysis mode.

210H First, then HD-C4

Subjects will be randomly assigned to begin the first week of three consecutive treatments with the Polyflux 210H dialyzer. Following the third treatment, the subjects will be switched to the Polyflux HD-C4 dialyzer for a second week of three consecutive treatments. Therefore each subject will have a total of six consecutive dialysis treatments.

Group Type OTHER

Polyflux 210H dialyzer

Intervention Type DEVICE

Three consecutive treatments with the Polyflux 210H dialyzer. All study treatments will be performed in the standard hemodialysis mode.

Polyflux HD-C4

Intervention Type DEVICE

Three consecutive treatments with the Polyflux HD-C4 dialyzer. All study treatments will be performed in the standard hemodialysis mode.
