          Abstract

          Currently available extracorporeal circuits in the US often require blood priming to prevent hypotension/anemia in smaller pediatric patients. The PRISMA M10 circuit, available in other countries has not received extensive study and has not been cleared for use in the US. We performed an FDA mandated study of the M10 circuit in the US for use in critically ill pediatric patients with acute kidney injury <15 kg in size. FDA guidelines allowed for maximal blood pump flow of 20 ml/min. Fifteen pts (9 M, 6 F, mean size 5.8+/-2.8 kg, range 2.6-12.5 kg, age 4 d - 13 mo, mean creatinine =1.2+/-0.7 mg/dL) were studied at 4 ppCRRT centers. Sixty-one filters (range 1-4 circuits per pt) were used (mean circuit life 28.6+/-22.5 h, range 1 to 74.5 h, 55%>24 h). No blood leaks occurred. All circuits achieved Qb 20 ml/min. Forty-two out of 61 filters clotted and mean circuit life was lower for these filters than those changed for other reasons (23+/-17 vs. 41+/-28 h, <0.005). Circuits using larger access demonstrated significantly longer survival. We conclude that the M10 filter can serve well for CRRT in small pediatric patients. Further study is needed to determine in higher blood flow rates would decrease clotting rates and increase filter life span and ultrafiltration rates.
