Abstract
We made prototype machines WAK-II and III in cooperation with Prof. Kolff of Utah Univ., and had successful clinical results. This time, we have developed a portable artificial kidney system PKS and PMS. The dimension of PKS is W170, D115, H200(m/m) and its weight is 2.9kg. PMS has the size of W170, D220, H550 and weighs 14kg. These can be made lighter in the future. PKS is of a double power source type, and dialysis can be performed by using a battery in an emergency and disaster. When combined with PMS, since fixed facilities and pipings are not necessary at all, it is possible to carry out dialysis without restrictions by time and space.
