When the kidneys are close to failure or complete permanent failure, waste products and excess water from the patient’s metabolism begin to accumulate in the blood, and this stage is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or kidney failure. Under normal circumstances, end-stage kidney disease needs blood purification treatment, the use of dialysis equipment can discharge the toxic substances in the blood of patients to the body, reduce the toxicity of toxic substances to the body, usually has a good therapeutic effect.

According to statistics, as of 2019, more than 3 million patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in China need dialysis treatment. It is estimated that by 2030, the number of patients with end-stage renal disease in China will exceed 4 million. This will put a great demand on hemodialysis equipment.

Hemodialysis machine application scenario

Application requirement

In the past, the hemodialysis machine market was mainly occupied by international brands, but in recent years, with the rapid development of the country, the country has also emerged excellent enterprises manufacturing hemodialysis machines. When a large domestic medical enterprise was developing the “artificial kidney” blood dialysis machine system, its technical difficulty was to ensure the reliability and long life of the product. After in-depth research and multiple selections, the customer finally chose the industrial quality of Advantech’s RSB-4810 Arm-based single-board computer as the main control unit of its equipment. The master control solution also provides strong technical support, comprehensive technical documentation and good after-sales service.

Advantech RSB-4810 is an Arm-based 3.5 “single-board computer, powered by the Rockchip RK3568 chip, with high computing performance, low power consumption, extensive I/O interface and other features. The products perfectly meet the needs of hemodialysis machine equipment manufacturers for reliable and long-life master control units, strong technical support, comprehensive technical documentation and good after-sales service.

Advantage 1: Long life cycle

One of the main advantages of the Advantech RSB-4810 single-board computer is the long life cycle, which is designed to last up to 10 years, which is crucial for hemodialysis machine manufacturers to ensure that the hemodialysis machine is reliable and sustainable over a long period of time.

Advantage 2: Strong technical support

Advantech provides strong technical support in the development process of equipment manufacturers. The bilateral technical teams worked closely to customize the RSB-4810 single board computer to meet its specific needs and requirements. In addition to this, Advantech also provides comprehensive technical documents and documentation that make it easy for manufacturers to integrate the RSB-4810 single board computer into a hemodialysis machine device.

Advantage 3: Good after-sales service

Advantech’s good after-sales service is another key factor in the manufacturer’s decision to use the RSB-4810 single board computer, providing ongoing support and maintenance, and being a reliable partner to the manufacturer to help them deal with any problems or challenges that may arise.
