How Will Product Innovation for Paediatric Patients Complement Growth of the Market?

As per the FDA, approximately 10,000 children in the U.S. develop kidney injuries. These patients receive treatment in ICU setting and only have a 38-43% survival rate, necessitating dialysis.

However, existing equipment available in the market is primarily intended for patients weighing at least 20 kgs. Hence, they are not approved for treatment in pediatric patients as they are not accurate enough. As a result, manufacturers are ramping up their efforts to launch innovative products that facilitate optimal treatment for every age group of patients.

For instance, in 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted marketing authorization for a new device specially designed to provide continuous hemodialysis or hemofiltration to critically ill pediatric patients weighing between 2.5-10 kgs.

Continuous hemodialysis or hemofiltration therapy (CRRT) involves using a dialysis equipment with a dialyzer and a special filter which continuously cleans the patient’s blood for extended period of time, instead of conventional machines that are used three times a week.

The CARPEDIEM System is the first CRRT device launched by Medtronic which is intended for lower weight-specific patients (2.5-10 kgs) who have a sudden or temporary loss of kidney function. The device also works for removing excess water in their bodies due to kidney malfunction.

The new device is designed for extracorporeal blood treatment, a purification process that is performed outside the body returning purified blood to the patient. The company has accomplished this by optimizing technological features of legally marketed CRRT devices by miniaturizing the device size and technology to meet the unmet needs of pediatric patients.

Such developments are expected to create lucrative opportunities for market players in the forthcoming years, thereby shaping the sales outlook of dialysis equipment positively.
