An ELEVON™ Universal Blood Tubing Set is a sterile, single-use medical device designed to safely and efficiently transport blood between a patient and a dialysis machine (hemodialyzer) during procedures such as hemodialysis. It forms the blood circuit in extracorporeal treatments and helps maintain a controlled, contamination-free blood flow throughout the therapy.
Main Functions:
- Connects the patient’s vascular access (e.g., AV fistula) to the dialysis machine and dialyzer.
- Transports blood from the patient to the dialyzer (arterial line) and from the dialyzer back to the patient (venous line).
- Provides a closed, sterile pathway that minimizes infection risk and maintains consistent flow rates.
Typical Components:
Universal blood tubing sets usually include:
- Arterial & Venous tubing lines made of medical-grade, biocompatible material.
- Drip chambers to help monitor blood movement and prevent air entry.
- Clamps and color-coding for safe and accurate handling.
- Connectors and luer locks for secure attachment to machines and accessories.
- Optional parts such as priming bags, transducer protectors, and IV lines depending on the configuration.
Key Features:
- Sterile and disposable — meant for single use to reduce cross-contamination.
- Medical-grade PVC or similar biocompatible material that is clear, flexible, and kink-resistant.
- Compatible with a variety of dialysis machines (“universal” design) — connectors and fittings often follow common standards.
- Designed to ensure smooth blood flow with minimal turbulence or air bubbles, which is critical for patient safety.
Where It’s Used:
- Hemodialysis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) management
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) dialysis
- Other extracorporeal blood treatments where controlled blood flow through a machine is required.
