Quanta Dialysis Technologies awarded RAEng MacRobert Award
The developers of a compact dialysis machine that enables kidney failure patients to treat themselves at home has been awarded the Royal Academy of Engineering’s 2022 MacRobert Award.
Quanta Dialysis Technologies was recognised by the RAEng for developing the SC+ haemodialysis system, a portable, easy-to-use, high performance dialysis machine that can be used in hospital or home settings.
In a statement, John E Milad, CEO of Quanta Dialysis Technologies, said: “I am incredibly proud of our team for developing an innovation deemed worthy of the prestigious MacRobert Award. This is truly an honour to all of us at Quanta.”
The SC+ haemodialysis system impressed judges across three criteria: engineering innovation, commercial success and tangible social benefits.
Quanta’s solution is already making a positive impact on patient quality of life since it is easier to operate, faster to train on and as powerful as traditional in-centre dialysis machines. This flexibility also enables patients to treat themselves at home overnight, receiving more dialysis care than they would in clinical settings and eliminating the gap where patients go without dialysis over a weekend.
