R&D performance

R&D department of the consortium tries to be updated on subjects like: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, the dialysis equipment and machineries, pharmaceuticals, dialysis concentrates and the other related disposables. Top performance and achievements of R&D in the consortium are as follows:

  • Designing and developing blood line set and fistula needle set with newest technology lead to mass production in 2012.
  • Designing cartridges for bicarbonate sodium lead to mass production of RenaCart and RenaBag in 2013.
  • Designing cartridges for acid and acetate hemodialysis concentrates with different formulations according to customers’ needs. This process lead to mass production in 2014 and acid concentrates I & II by Pharmed company were registered in Medical Equipment Department of the Ministry of health in Iran.
  • Designing and developing all kinds of polysulfone and polyethersulfone dialyzers from 2001 to current time.
  • Designing 8 kinds of blood bags according to international and update standards. This caused to obtaining ISBT 128 from ICCBBA.
