Clinician using the PrisMax system at the bedside

PrisMax System

The next-generation therapy system


Introducing the PrisMax system: built to help providers overcome the challenges in the ICU

Co-created with 650+ healthcare practitioners, the PrisMax system helps address the key challenges in the ICU and takes extracorporeal therapies to the next level by offering improvements designed to:

1. Achieve operational simplicity

2. Help enable smart efficiencies

3. Enhance data-driven insights


The ever-changing challenges in the ICU can be demanding

At Vantive, we recognize the complex challenges providers face when caring for the most critically ill patients, after speaking with healthcare professionals around the world for 20+ years. Through this collaboration, we have identified three key challenges where Vantive can help:

Operational efficiency

High workload during therapy setup and delivery

Diverse treatment needs

Patients requiring multi-organ support therapies

Complex clinical processes

Complicated therapy setup and delivery


Maximise simplicity

Offer seamless therapy delivery with end-to-end intuitive interface

Simplify the complexities of CRRT and other extracorporeal therapies with the user-friendly interface of the PrisMax system, which helps enable seamless therapy management, from setup to delivery.  

  • Large 15-inch rotating, adjustable touchscreen for multidirectional viewing of critical data even from a distance
  • Simple step-by-step on-screen instructions with colour coding and confirmation of completed steps with check marks 
  • Continuous display of vital information to simplify monitoring
  • Troubleshooting information supported with images for guidance 
  • Smart alarms designed to reduce device interactions and treatment interruptions
Enhance EMR connectivity with TrueVue Connect for auto-documentation

Make documentation easier with TrueVue Connect, a digital add-on communication module, which helps enable auto-documentation with enhanced EMR connectivity.

  • Secure connection to the hospital’s EMR through wireless or wired connections 
  • TrueVue Connect can also communicate using HL7 and is compatible with leading EMR systems and middleware vendors
Support alkalosis risk management with the normalised Net Buffer Load (nNBL)

The normalised Net Buffer Load (nNBL) is a parameter for alkalosis risk assessment during regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA). The nNBL is continuously displayed on the user interface of the PrisMax system during prescription setting and treatment. 


Expand treatment possibilities

Deliver a range of therapies on the PrisMax system – CRRT, ECCO₂R, TPE and blood purification for sepsis management to remove cytokines and endotoxins – without adding complexities in delivery. 

Deliver CRRT, ECCO₂R and blood purification for sepsis management as stand-alone therapies or in combination with a single vascular access.1

Blood purification for sepsis management (with or without AKI)

The PrisMax system is compatible with the Oxiris filterset, the only 3-in-1 blood purification filterset2 to effectively remove cytokines and endotoxins as a blood purification therapy for sepsis management while delivering CRRT.1

PrismaLung+ enables ECCO2R therapy

Integrate ECCO₂R therapy

The PrisMax system with the PrismaLung+ gas exchanger supports the delivery of ECCO2R either as a stand-alone therapy or in combination with CRRT and/or blood purification for sepsis management.1

TPE filtration set

Access TPE 24/7

With the PrisMax system, you can deliver round-the-clock TPE to support time-critical indications.1


Achieve smart efficiencies

Streamline clinical workflows and increase efficiency with the PrisMax system’s intelligent features that can help reduce device interactions and decrease therapy downtime.1 

Optimise your CRRT program by using data-driven insights enabled by TrueVue Therapy Management.

Optimise clinical workflows by reduced device interactions

The unique Auto-Effluent Drain accessory, which is available for the PrisMax system, helps in optimising the workflow in your ICU by: 

  • Potentially reducing bag changes by 60% and eliminating the need to change effluent bags manually, allowing more time for patient care3
  • Decreasing therapy downtime and potentially increasing therapy delivery time by up to 30 minutes per patient per day3,4
  • You also have the choice to capture effluent in a bag or dispose of it directly into a drain depending on the clinical situation. 
Focus more on patient care with intelligent automation

Smart alarms help prevent alarm fatigue by automatically clearing alarms that are displayed for only informative purposes, such as pressure alarms. They reduce device interactions during therapy delivery enabling nursing staff to focus more on patient care.1 

Advanced pressure management also minimises alarms due to sudden pressure spikes caused by the patient moving.  

Support CRRT improvements with data-driven insights

Take advantage of data-driven CRRT quality improvement programs with TrueVue Therapy Management that enables you to: 

  • Use your hospital-specific data to support data-driven decision-making 
  • Create standardised processes to help improve CRRT program efficiency

Maximise accuracy and system performance

Increase the accuracy of treatment delivery with the PrisMax system.

The Patient Fluid Removal (PFR) catch-up helps clinicians meet prescribed fluid removal targets when treatment interruptions occur and helps deliver more accurate treatments compared to the Prismaflex system.1

The TherMax blood warmer allows effective blood warming for extracorporeal therapies while giving physicians precise control of return blood temperature.1

Meet prescribed fluid removal targets

The PrisMax system’s unique technology includes the Patient Fluid Removal (PFR) catch-up, which uses intelligent pump adjustments to help meet prescribed fluid removal targets. This patented technology tracks therapy delivery and safely adjusts effluent pump speed to help meet clinically prescribed fluid removal targets — even when treatment interruptions occur for up to 10 minutes per instance.1 

In a clinical setting, the PrisMax system delivered 99.8% of prescribed patient fluid removal.3

Maintain patient’s blood temperature with effective blood warming

The optional TherMax blood warmer brings an innovative approach to CRRT blood warming, allowing clinicians to set and achieve blood-warming targets in a simple manner.5

The TherMax blood warmer is controlled through the intuitive user interface of the PrisMax system and delivers effective blood warming for a range of therapies.

Independent from fluid flow rates and therapy interruptions, the TherMax blood warmer offers: 

  • Efficient blood warming during CRRT 
  • Reduced risk of hypothermia with precise control of return blood temperature between 35°C and 38°C6
  • Easy warmer management through the PrisMax system user interface
