GEMA supercedes traditional plasmapheresis technology
The GEMA plasmapheresis machine is our flagship device, representing decades of research and innovation. It offers a streamlined, patient-friendly experience, dramatically improving the efficiency and outcomes of plasma exchange procedures.
Embodiment of our commitment to innovation and excellence
Combines the expertise of our founders with the latest medical technology
Our dedication to advancing plasmapheresis is rooted in addressing the critical shortcomings of traditional methods:
High Blood Volume Requirements
Traditional machines demand large volumes of blood to fill their circuits—often 400-500 ml per procedure. This excessive volume leads to numerous clinical issues, including hypotension, discomfort, anxiety, and other complications during treatment.
Extended Procedure Times
With outdated machines, sessions can exceed three hours, leaving patients immobilized for prolonged periods, further adding to their discomfort and stress.
Traumatic Access Methods
Many older devices require accessing the internal jugular or subclavian veins, which is highly invasive and traumatic for patients. These procedures add unnecessary stress and discomfort, particularly for vulnerable patients.
The Apheresis Technology Advantage
Recognizing these significant shortcomings, Apheresis Technology has developed devices that are years ahead of traditional plasmapheresis technology. Our GEMA machine and related devices are designed to minimize patient trauma, reduce the amount of blood required for the procedure, and dramatically shorten the time patients need to spend undergoing treatment. These innovations not only improve patient comfort and safety but also enhance the overall efficiency of medical facilities.
