The PrisMax platform, which was designed based on input from more than 650 providers around the world and received FDA clearance for use in the U.S. in July, supports the treatment of AKI with automated monitoring of the setup and delivery of care throughout the continuous renal replacement and organ therapy process.

Additionally, the PrisMax technology integrates directly into a provider’s EHR platform. Nurses in the ICU are therefore able to devote more time to treating patients than to documenting their treatment data, according to Elwyn Clark, DO, director of critical care medicine at Hamilton.
