  • Research summary

    This is a first-in-human (pilot) investigation designed to assess the acute safety of H-Guard, a device solution containing a novel ancillary biologic, for use as a priming solution in the set up of haemodialysis blood tubing sets and dialysers in patients routinely undergoing dialysis. In addition to acute safety this study would explore as an exploratory measure, the potential utility of the ancillary biologic, to protect patients from inflammation arising from an immune reaction between the patients blood and dialyser using biomarkers in blood.
