Indications for FH:The Apheresis Machine KANEKA MA-03 is components of the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System. The LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System is indicated for use in performing low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) apheresis to acutely remove LDL-C from the plasma.Indications for FSGS:The Apheresis Machine KANEKA MA-03 is components of the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System. The LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System is indicated for use in the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome associated with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
An assembly of electrically-powered devices designed for the extracorporeal separation and removal of a constituent of whole blood (e.g., plasma, platelets, leukocytes) and pathogens, and the return of the remaining constituents to the patient. It typically includes pumps to circulate the blood and uses methods such as membrane filtration, centrifugation, adsorption, or a combination of these to separate the constituent from the blood. The system may be used therapeutically (e.g., to remove immune complexes or low density lipoproteins) or for the harvesting of blood constituents (e.g., for HLA-matched platelets or fresh frozen plasma).
The machine should be installed in the following locations: Ambient temereture should be between 50-95 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity should be less than 85%
