    Why choose GEMMA?

    Six engineering decisions that make membrane plasmapheresis simpler to place, set up and run. Each one is documented in the manufacturer's brochure.

    1. Portable. 8 kg.

      It moves between treatment rooms and to the bedside, so the procedure goes where the patient is.

      320 × 200 × 200 mm
    2. One needle is an option.

      Single- and two-needle modes let your team match vascular access to each patient and protocol.

      One / two needles
    3. Membrane plasma filtration.

      Separation by membrane, not by centrifugation, with compatible PFM-500 and PFM-800 filters.

      PFM-500 / PFM-800
    4. Every setting in plain sight.

      Flow, volumes and monitored pressure are set and read directly on the device.

      Configurable blood flow: 2–200 mL/min
    5. Safety built in.

      Air detection, pressure monitoring, automatic stops under defined conditions, and audible and visual alarms.

    When every centimetre counts.

    Space, mobility and access decide where a procedure can happen. GEMMA was designed around all three.

    The practical challengeWhat GEMMA offers
    Making room for larger equipmentA 320 × 200 × 200 mm device that fits an existing room.
    Moving equipment between rooms8 kg: one person moves it between rooms.
    Matching access to the protocolOne- and two-needle modes on the same device.

    GEMMA specifications are taken from the manufacturer's brochure. Other devices vary by model and configuration.

    Need a second filtration stage?

    The SM-PF-01U configuration supports an optional second stage, such as selective filtration or hemosorption. Discuss the circuit and consumables your protocol needs with our team.
