TPE Filtersets
Therapeutic plasma exchange is associated with positive clinical outcomes1
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an extracorporeal blood purification technique used to treat patients with a variety of disorders; it has become a relatively common treatment modality. It is associated with positive clinical outcomes in the treatment of Guillain-Barré syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), myasthenia gravis and Goodpasture syndrome.

TPE filtersets powered by PrisMax and Prismaflex expand treatment options in the ICU
Simplicity and improved ease of use for TPE delivery
Setting up and delivering TPE therapy on the PrisMax and Prismaflex systems is similar to setting up a CRRT procedure,2 which may reduce the amount of additional training required.
The intuitive user interface of the PrisMax and Prismaflex systems may help to support smooth therapy initiation.2,3
The systems offer the capability for citrate anticoagulation and an integrated syringe pump for heparin anticoagulation.2
Enhanced safety features for greater confidence
The PrisMax and Prismaflex systems offer the ability to delay the start of therapy until the TPE circuit has been filled with blood before initiating treatment.2
The self-regulating pressure system can automatically accommodate blood flow rate adjustments.2
Flow-rate capabilities allow adjustments for lower-body-weight patients.2
Efficiencies to help streamline operations in the ICU
The only additional incremental cost includes the purchase of TPE filtersets, anticoagulant, replacement solution and procedural disposables,2 allowing for an affordable and predictable treatment cost.4
Around-the-clock critical care support
TPE with the PrisMax System or the Prismaflex System allows clinicians to autonomously support time-critical indications with TPE therapy, 24/7. This can help meet diverse patient needs and the demands of multiple critical care therapies in the ICU.
