Relentless innovation brings simplicity and reliability to hemodialysis

It's simple. Meaningful innovation should make the lives of its users easier. That's why we designed the AK 98 dialysis machine to be our most convenient and reliable hemodialysis machine ever. Its unique features and innovative design help simplify treatment with fewer steps, protect patient safety by helping to potentially reduce programming errors, and minimize disruptions and downtime. All of this "less" adds up to more operational and cost savings for your facility.

As the newest innovation within our HD portfolio, the AK 98 dialysis machine is an important piece of the total support that Baxter, as a partner, brings to advance kidney care. Because you deserve nothing less than everything

AK 98 inside

Less cost and downtime

Concentrate standby mode uses zero concentrate, which could mean annual savings up to $139/machine (500 mL/min start flow).1

High-precision ceramic concentrate pumps and electromagnetic flow meters means no pH probe needed and no moving parts to calculate flow rate. 

Preventative maintenance is only required every other year.

AK 98 Screen

Less complexity

Intuitive, app-like interface designed to simplify treatment with fewer steps and guide you every step of the way.

The open system allows fast, familiar setup by a technician or a nurse, allowing greater flexibility and utilization of staff time and resources.

“The machine is very convenient and the instructions on the screen make it very easy to use."

- Demi Miller, Certified Hemodialysis Technician (CHT)

AK 98 Connectivity

Less error risk with enhanced patient safety features

Two-way, HL7-based connectivity allows direct push-pull capability between the machine and your EMR to potentially reduce errors and save time from manual entry.

Battery back-up provides up to 30 minutes to move the machine around after setup. During this time, the blood pump continues running (the dialysate pump goes into stand-by mode) and treatment info is retained.

SmartSense alerts enable the machine to self-clear nuisance pressure alarms and avoid unnecessary stoppage of treatment due to brief pressure fluctuations often related to patient movement.

AK 98 concentrates

Less restriction

Able to provide all therapy options – conventional 3x/wk, short daily, or nocturnal.

Capable of both sodium and bicarbonate profiling allowing for smooth and constant adjustment.

Disinfection routines shut off automatically and do not require user attention or handling of chemicals.

AK 98 Shelf Extension Kit

Less bulk

Our smallest HD machine - up to 49% less space and 22% less weight than competitive machines1.

The compact size and reduced weight, with Shelf Extension Kit for portable RO transport with the machine2, saves space and makes it easy to move around.

AK 98 Diascan

Less inefficient treatments

Studies show that consistently reaching the adequacy target may reduce the risk of all cause mortality1-3. Monitoring Kt/V in each treatment can help identify trends in dialysis efficiency sooner than in monthly labs.

The Diascan function calculates if the desired and minimum values for Kt/V, set by the operator, can be reached by treatment end.

“I love the Diascan feature. I'm able to be much more proactive about patient care with this."
