Thalassemia
Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder characterized by abnormal hemoglobin production, leading to anemia and potentially life-threatening complications. Standard treatment of thalassemia major typically include blood transfusions and iron chelation. During a blood transfusion, individuals receive injections of red blood cells through a vein, aiming to replenish healthy red blood cell levels and hemoglobin to normal ranges.
Managing thalassemia requires a comprehensive approach to care and SMARTeZ™ products provide valuable solutions to enhance the well-being of individuals with this condition.
EPIC innovative products address various facets of Thalassemia Management
Efficient Iron Chelation Therapy
Iron overload is a common challenge in Thalassemia management due to the excess iron accumulated from frequent transfusions. Effective iron chelation therapy is essential to prevent organ damage. SMARTeZ™ pumps offer precise dosing capabilities, enabling healthcare providers to administer iron chelators with accuracy and monitor patient progress closely.
Home-based Care
Frequent medical visits can be challenging for both Thalassemia patients and their families. SMARTeZ™ elastomeric pumps offer a solution by facilitating home-based care. Patients can comfortably and conveniently receive essential treatments, enhancing their quality of life but reducing the healthcare system's workload.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Every individual with thalassemia has unique medical needs. SMARTeZ™ pumps offer dosing flexibility and personalized medication delivery, enabling healthcare providers to tailor treatment plans to specific patient requirements. This personalization ensures optimal care outcomes while minimizing side effects.
Cost-effective Solutions
Thalassemia management can be financially challenging due to the ongoing need for blood transfusions, medications, and monitoring. SMARTeZ™ products, known for their cost-effectiveness, help healthcare systems optimize budgets without compromising patient care quality. This affordability extends the reach of thalassemia management to more individuals in need.
Precision and Convenience
SMARTeZ™ infusion pumps are typically worn on the body, programmable to deliver medication at a specific rate. These pumps are filled with a sterile solution of deferoxamine, and they can be used for up to 24 hours. Their convenience and effectiveness in delivering deferoxamine make them an integral part of Thalassemia treatment, aiding in the prevention and treatment of iron overload.
Continuous Infusion of Deferoxamine
SMARTeZ™ pumps are not only safe but also effective for the infusion of a wide range of medications, including deferoxamine. Extensively documented, including in the 6th edition of ASHP’s “Extended Stability for Parenteral Drugs,” these pumps are marked as "Compatible with Deferoxamine." This designation ensures that the flow rate is calibrated for the more viscous DFO, preventing a 20% slower flow rate compared to normal saline.
Designed explicitly for subcutaneous delivery, the Epic Thala SubQ Pump is a game-changer in the administration of medications indicated for Thalassemia treatment. Thala SubQ Pump is a mechanical infusion pump, engineered to operate independently of main power supplies or batteries.
