Health Condition / Problems Studied  
Health Type  Condition 
Patients  These patients have CKD stage V on normal intermittent haemodialysis. The subjects are atleast 21 years old with no history of cancer or recent surgeries and expected survival of atleast 6 months.,  
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Fresenius 4008S(Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, Bad Hambourg, Germany)  The market standard Fresenius 4008S hemodialysis machine that can perform both dialysis and isolated ultrafiltration. This device has been designed and developed with the aim to reduce the coast of hemodialysis within India and developing countries. The machine is fitted with standard extracorporeal consumables available in the market. The aim of utlising a baseline HD session is to bench mark the outcomes of the intervention (RxT17).This dialysis sessions will be a total of 5 sessions on 5 subjects who meet the inclusion criteria. The dialysis sessions will be monitored and measurements from both device and patients will be recorded. Each session will last for 4 hours. Samples from both device and patients will be collected to determine safety and efficacy parameters. The adverse events log will also be maintained and addressed accordingly. The study will be completed after meeting all the required standards and documentation are also closed. 
Intervention  Renalyx RxT17 HD  An indigenous hemodialysis machine that can perform both dialysis and isolated ultrafiltration. This device has been designed and developed with the aim to reduce the coast of hemodialysis within India and developing countries. The machine is fitted with standard extracorporeal consumables available in the market. The aim of the study is to test the safety and efficacy of the Renalyx RxT 17 HD. This dialysis sessions will be a total of 15 sessions on 5 subjects who meet the inclusion criteria. The dialysis sessions will be monitored and measurements from both device and patients will be recorded. Each session will last for 4 hours. Samples from both device and patients will be collected to determine safety and efficacy parameters. The adverse events log will also be maintained and addressed accordingly. The study will be completed after meeting all the required standards and documentation are also closed.

Brief Summary   This is a prospective, non -randomised, open label, crossover, interventional study designed to provide preliminary data on human use of the first Indian hemodialysis machine(Renalyx RxT17). Five stable subjects with CKD V (Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage V), currently receiving twice weekly intermittent hemodialysis (HD) treatment via Arterio-Venous fistula as vascular access, will be studied, while Fresenius 4008S will be the comparator whose base line values will be used as a bench mark. This study is being conducted to obtain the required approval for the device to be legally commercialised. The development of this device within India is to potentially respond to the unmet public health needs of CKD patients. It is expected to improve the outcomes, reduce costs and provide treatment access to patients in end stage renal disease state, especially in rural India and developing countries.
