Innovations in Pediatric CRRT

For the first time, infants with acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) can be treated with a dialysis system designed specifically for them.1

A miniaturized, high-precision platform1,2

For the Most Fragile Patients

The first of its kind, the Carpediem™ system offers a dedicated extracorporeal CRRT to low weight patients and responds to the needs of the most fragile patient.

  • CVVH, CVVHD, and SCUF modalities
  • Low priming volume & pump flow
  • High-precision scales
  • Continuous or bolus Heparin pump delivery

When Size and Scale Matter

Neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload are under-recognized conditions which often lead to morbidity and mortality.3

Tailored Performance.
Precise Control.

  • Clinical data  demonstrates a 97% survival rate at end of treatment4,†
  • Closely monitor fluid balance: +/- 1 g High-precision scales2  
  • Enable use of small catheter sizes5
  • Reduce blood cell and vessel damage while providing necessary and adequate diffusive clearances: 2–50 ml/min low blood flow rates1,2,6

A renewed focus on what is most important

For the first time, there is no need to adapt adult machines and weigh the complexities that have traditionally plagued pCRRT treatments.7
