Patient Perspective
- Patients want "hassle-free" vascular access care and want to avoid hospital stays and emergency room visits.
- Vasc-Alert’s early indicators allow proactive interventions that can be scheduled on patient’s terms, avoiding the urgency and disruption of a sudden access failure.
- Caregiver impact is lessened with the ability to plan appointments and interventions, thus reducing stress and disruption for all involved.
- Occasionally, in the worst-case scenario, a clotted access cannot be repaired for use which leads to additional access surgery and most often placement of a catheter to receive dialysis treatments, which comes with its own risks. Vasc-Alert can help reduce the need for both.
Dialysis Providers
A series of cascading provider pain points drives the average national CVC rate above 20%.
Clinical Goals
Dialysis clinics using Vasc-Alert surveillance are well-positioned to reduce their vascular access pain points.
