Ellen Medical Devices
Ellen Medical Devices was formed to make dialysis affordable and accessible to millions of people who currently die prematurely from chronic kidney disease. In 2017, Ellen Medical Devices was a finalist in the Eureka Awards, Australia’s most prestigious science awards, recognising its affordable point-of-care dialysis system and in 2018, the Company was awarded $2.2 million from the NSW Medical Devices Fund. The Company’s dialysis system overcomes the critical barrier to affordable dialysis – the lack of cheap, sterile water in countries where the electricity supply is unreliable and water sources may be contaminated. Using a standard solar panel, it heats water taken from any local source to make steam, which is used to sterilise the water as well as to fill empty peritoneal dialysis (PD) bags under sterile conditions. The first clinical trial of Ellen Medical Devices’ dialysis system in human subjects has received ethics approval and will commence in 2022.
