Hello,

I was wandering if anybody knows what PLASMAPHERESIS machines are available on the market in USA right now.

I know of 2 but can only remember the name of one and that's the Gambro Prisma machine. As soon as it comes to me for the second I'll post.

COBE/Gambro Spectra
CaridianBCT Spectra Optia

Prisma and Prismaflex work by the mean of a filter. Spectra and Optia work by the mean of centrifugation.

We are in the process of purchasing two dual track pumps that will be used with our Fresenius machines. They will be back in production later this summer. Check this:

We are using the fresenius dialysis machine and plasmaflux filters for all our plasma exchanges.

Isn't Prisma CRRT not phereseis?

it is a CRRT machine, and it can achieve Plasma exchange by filtration.
