Mobile Dialysis by http://www.odulair.com, mobile dialysis units, mobile dialysis clinics, mobile dialysis centers, mobile dialysis facilities by the only manufacturer to have ever built a Mobile Dialysis Unit since 2013.
Odulair, the world’s leading provider of advanced Mobile Health Clinics and mobile medical vehicles announced their launch of the world’s first Mobile Dialysis Unit meeting U.S. healthcare building regulations. The Odulair Mobile Dialysis Unit was first on display at the 9 Annual Mobile Health Clinics Forum held September 14-17, 2013 in Palm Springs, CA hosted by the Mobile Health Clinics Association.
The Mobile Dialysis Unit by Odulair is housed in a 53 foot (16 meter) expandable trailer that provides 1,000 square feet (93 meters squared) of interior space. This Mobile Dialysis Unit also includes six U.S. healthcare code compliant patient dialysis stations each including state-of-the art onboard hemodialysis water treatment, Fresenius dialysis machines and Herman Miller Nemschoff Treatment chairs with built-in heat and massage to ensure patient comfort during their dialysis treatment which typically lasts up to four hours. The Mobile Dialysis Clinic by Odulair also includes all of the ancillary areas required for CMS reimbursement including a reception area, central nurse’s station, clean workroom, soiled workroom, handicapped accessible restroom, equipment repair room, environmental services room, and water treatment room.
Upon touring the Odulair Mobile Dialysis Unit, California Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD graduate of Harvard Medical School, said, “This is a mobile dialysis clinic that has features that are not even available in some hospitals. This is amazing!”
“The inspiration for this unit came from the plethora of calls Odulair received from flooded dialysis centers just after Hurricane Sandy destroyed New Jersey and New York dialysis facilities,” said Dr. Anita Chambers, CEO of Odulair, LLC. “Our research and development team had been working on the design of a U.S. healthcare code compliant Mobile Dialysis Unit for over a year when the calls started coming in. It was heartbreaking to hear that patients, who were already in poor health, now had to drive up to four hours to a cooperative clinic to receive their four-hour treatment in the middle of the night, then drive four hours back home again. Upon hearing these stories, we made it our top priority to complete the design and construction of our first Mobile Dialysis Unit as soon as possible,” Chambers said.
