Vasc-Alert is an online software-as-a-service application (program) intended to alert dialysis center personnel of increased risk of access site stenosis for individual hemodialysis patients. Vasc-Alert uses measurements routinely collected during dialysis treatment in a electronic medical record. Some of the data recorded is generated by a hemodialysis machine, such as pressure and flow rate. Vasc-Alert applies this data to a previously published algorithm called the Vascular Access Pressure Ratio Test (VAPRT) to these measurements. The average VAPRT result for each treatment session is stored in a Vasc-Alert database. Reports are issued by Vasc-Alert, listing patients with high readings on three consecutive treatments. Hemodialysis center personnel can use the report as a tool to proactively monitor incipient stenosis and prompt proactive intervention to avoid site closure.The Vasc-Alert Online Application provides an easy and secure way to view information on your patients, download reports, and upload treatment run data to Vasc-Alert. The Vasc-Alert Online Application runs inside your web browser, so no software needs to be downloaded or installed.
