TEHRAN (ANA)- Specialists at the Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology are working on an engineering prototype of ‘portable dialysis machine’.
After making the first generation dialysis machine, the Iranian experts put the construction of an engineering prototype of the portable hemodialysis machine on their agenda, said Majid Moqaddam, a faculty member of the Research Institute of Electricity and Information Technology of the Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology.
“We have presented the design of the remote monitoring and management device for the dialysis machine for patients with kidney diseases,” he added.
“By using this technology, it is possible to monitor and control the dialysis machine remotely, and the patient does not need to go to the hospital to perform the dialysis process,” Moqaddam said.
He explained that a system is connected to this device that sends the necessary information to the treatment center and the physician is able to monitor the patient's condition online.
Earlier reports in August also said that researchers of a knowledge-based company in Iran had managed to produce dialysis filters for chronic kidney patients and succeeded in meeting the country's needs to the product.
Secretary of the Knowledge-Based Economy Development Department of the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy Mostafa Qaneyee visited a knowledge-based company that produces dialysis filters for kidney patients during a trip to Alborz province.
This knowledge-based company, as the parent company, has put the production of dialysis filters on its agenda.
It produces a wide range of dialysis filters in low-flux and high-flux types and is now considered as one of the producers with expertise and experience in production of dialysis filters.
The filters produced by the knowledge-based company are produced in Iran in accordance to the international standards and have ISO 13485 (European Union) standards.
Earlier, in June, reports said that six technological and knowledge-based companies in Iran had created a consortium to produce dialysis machines and necessary supplies.
Iran Dialysis Consortium consists of 10 knowledge-based and technological companies that operate in the supply chain of this area.
