What is it indicated for?

The UltraConcentrator™ Permeability Hemodialyzer is indicated for use as an ultrafiltrator for the selective removal of undesirable plasma water and small dissolved solutes from blood plasma proteins and formed cellular elements, as may be present in cases of acute hemodilution such as following cardiopulmonary bypass.

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