1.1 Introduction
Welcome to CLM III, a non-invasive, optical technology that helps ensure better
clinical outcomes, patient safety, and staff confidence. The CLM III continuously
monitors in real time the following blood parameters: hematocrit, percent change in
intravascular blood volume, and oxygen saturation.
Proper use of the CLM III can result in optimized fluid removal while preventing
morbid events that result from blood volume depletion. This is accomplished via
staff adjustment of ultrafiltration while monitoring graphically displayed changes in
the patient’s circulating blood volume in real time during the treatment session.
By continuously monitoring hematocrit and oxygen saturation, the CLM III provides
diagnostic information concerning the vascular compartment during hemodialysis
therapy.
The CLM III is used in conjunction with the CRIT-LINE blood chamber, a sterile
disposable viewing window that is inserted into the patient’s extra corporeal blood
tubing. Blood parameters are displayed approximately one minute after
measurement has begun and are displayed continuously thereafter throughout the
dialysis treatment.
