What is it indicated for?

The CRIT-LINE Clip (CLiC) Blood Chamber is a sterile, single use, disposable, optical cuvette designed for use with the CLiC Monitor’s sensor clip during acute and chronic hemodialysis therapy to non-invasively measure hematocrit, percent change in blood volume, and oxygen saturation. The blood chamber is connected between the arterial bloodline and the dialyzer within the extracorporeal circuit during hemodialysis treatment.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
