[Vicenza, Italy, April 21, 2021] On April 21, 2021, the SWS-5000 series continuous blood purification equipment (SWS-5000 CRRT) independently developed and produced by SWS was unveiled at the International Renal Research Institute of Vicenza (IRRIV) in Italy. Professor Claudio Ronco, an internationally renowned nephrologist highly commented on the completeness and applicability of the treatment modes of SWS-5000 CRRT, after a range of test and evaluation on the machine.

The evaluation mainly covered the machine’s appearance, power pump, ease of operation, key components, pressure monitoring sensors, alarm system, treatment mode and extracorporeal organ support system joint operation. Commenting on the SWS-5000, Professor Ronco said: "A blood purification machine that can support the kidneys, heart, liver and lungs when necessary is something we (the IRRIV) have always wanted. Obviously, the SWS-5000 in front of us is one that allows us to achieve the purpose of research, and its birth shows that the world is advancing rapidly... The design concept of this machine is worth digging into." With surprise, he added: "I didn't expect it to have so many different modes of treatment, but what amazed me the most was that this CRRT device also support plasma treatment."
