How much time does it take to complete a TPE treatment using the Plasmaflo™?
The procedure time depends on a number of factors. The vascular access, patient’s hemodynamic stability, patient’s hematocrit, blood flow rate and plasma flow rate all contribute to the length of the treatment. Treatments are prescribed in volumes of plasma to be exchanged. Generally, a four liter exchange will take about two-and-a-half (2 1/2) hours.
