Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study to determine whether the level of inflammation may be decreased, the lifespan of red blood cells increased and the clearance of waste products in the blood improved through the use of the Allient System as compared to conventional hemodialysis.

A

Subject will continue conventional hemodialysis therapy for one week ("no intervention" phase) and then swtich to the Allient system for two weeks ("active comparator" phase).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Allient System

Intervention Type DEVICE
