Asahi Kasei Medical is a leader in the Japanese and Asian market of blood purification equipment. Through this extensive experience, Asahi is now expanding globally to serve our wide customer needs.

PlasautoΣ is a blood purification equipment which features the new possibilities of blood purification. PlasautoΣ is a multifunctional system for therapeutic apheresis and Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) ideal for clinical sites.

It realizes the three S: Speedy, Safety and Smart. With new developed cassette tubing and a multi-CPU system, the machine is fully equipped with advanced high specifications. Designed to meet future generation needs, PlasautoΣ leads the blood purification field with excellent reliability.

Preparation time of tubing’s are reduced by the use of cassette tubing system and slide stator pumps. With its auto-priming function, PlasautoΣ reduces priming time compared to our conventional systems.

The unique technology of the fluid removal control enables treatment with high accuracy.
The air-free pressure chamber minimizes contact between blood and air.
The unique fluid measurement method enables a safe and simple fluid bag exchange.

PlasautoΣ is a multifunctional system for all treatment modes in therapeutic apheresis and CRRT. The system features a variety of automatic control functions, including automated plasma recovery and pressure - driven automatic flow control.

Using the cassette type tubing system, the average time for loading the tubing is approximately 5 minutes. (In-house data, average loading time: 5 minutes and 38 seconds, number of operators: 39, under Asahi's supervision).

High accuracy fluid removal control

Fluid removal is remarkably accurate compared to conventional systems by the use of "segmented" and "balanced" measuring method for filtrate, dialysate, and replacement fluid. The high accuracy will help ensure safety in all situations including high volume CRRT and pediatric CRRT.

Fluid bag is exchangeable without interrupting treatment by "segmented" measuring method.

The chamber design minimizes contact between blood and air.

1. Its separating membrane blocks contact between blood and air.
2. Whirling blood flow reduces flow stagnation.
3. The blood volume in the chamber is very low (3mL).
4. No need for transducer protector filter due to the separating membrane.

Multifunctional system

PlasautoΣ is a multifunctional system for all treatment modes in therapeutic apheresis and CRRT.

Guidance functions

The LCD touch screen provides visual guidance for various procedures from tubing setup to blood recovery. When an error occurs, the system displays the location of the error and actions to take in response to alarms.

Startup check

The machine automatically performs a self-check in just one minute to assure system integrity including pump rotation, valve status and scale offset.

Auto-priming

The auto-priming function is applicable to even wet columns. The auto-priming function provides a self-check of the tubing connection, scale and pressure monitor. This helps ensure proper operation with high safety.

Automatic plasma recovery

With the single touch of a button, the machine completes plasma recovery in the DFPP and PA modes that use two filters.

Wide range of blood flow

The blood pump provides from 1 to 400mL/min with excellent stability, as for CRRT treatment mode.

Wide range of replacement flow

Range of replacement pump is from 0.01 to 10.00L/h, and matches the needs in case of high volume treatment.

Selection of pre post-dilution mode

Pre or post-dilution can be switched with the single touch of a button during CVVH and CVVHDF treatment mode.

PlasautoΣ-CP is an optional pump for PlasautoΣ. It is specially designed and engineered for PlasautoΣ which gives an extra option for Citrate anticoagulation. Safe operation is assured with direct connection to PlasautoΣ by an interlocking system.
