?:definition
  • Tubing clamps designed to manually grasp and compress the arterial and/or venous blood line of a hemodialysis machine without damaging it. These clamps are usually available in several sizes and configurations as integral components or according to the hemodialysis line to be clamped and the hemodialysis machine characteristics; some clamps include identification (e.g., color coding) to differentiate between venous and arterial clamps. Hemodialysis line clamps are used to close the blood flow from and/or to the patient at the beginning or end of the hemodialysis procedure or when it is necessary to stop the procedure; the hemodialysis unit also includes as an integral part an additional venous line clamp that is used for automated closing of blood infusion to the patient when a problem in the hemodialysis procedure (e.g., air bubbles, blood leaks) is detected.
