A CLASSIC CASE OF FLEXIBILITY

QUADROX SUPPORTS YOUR CHOICE

Membrane surface without SAFELINE treatment: Un-
coated membrane with depositions potentially leading to
high pressure drop phenomena.
QUADROX membrane surface with SAFELINE treatment:
The advantage of the Safeline treatment under the electron
microscope: significant reduction in surface deposition on the
Quadrox membrane. The typical transmembrane pressure
increase is minimized consistently.

CLEARLY REFINED
VENOUS HARDSHELL CARDIOTOMY RESERVOIR VHK

Refined in every detail, the VHK meets the demands of

operating and perfusion techniques in the field of open-heart
surgery. It offers a minimum operating volume of 300 ml and
a capacity of 4200 ml. Its volume scale is easily readable
from all sides ensuring precise measurability, even for small
amounts of blood. A transparent blue cover permits viewing
the interior filter unit.

Designed for optimum positioning flexibility, the VHK

allows tubing lengths to be reduced and priming volume to
be minimized. The QUADROX rotates 360° under the VHK
reservoir and can be locked into any position. The VHK venous
inlet also rotates 360° independently. The reservoir and oxy-
genator units can be separated in seconds. Optionally, a
sealed version of the VHK is offered to enable the application
of vacuum to assist venous drainage (VAVD) during extracor-
poreal circulation or for post-operative thoracic drainage. The
sealed version features a pressure relief valve.
