The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the safety of a selective cytopheretic device (SCD) in patients that are on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for acute kidney injury (AKI).
Acute kidney injury is a condition where the kidneys are not capable of producing adequate urine. Therefore, another way to remove waste from the body is needed to hopefully allow time for the kidneys to heal. One method of removing waste from the body is called Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) or variations of that therapy. This study will evaluate the safety of the device while it is connected to the CRRT tubing for up to 7 days. Patients will be followed up until day 60 following the treatment.

The selective cytopheretic device (SCD) is comprised of tubing, connectors and a hemofilter cartridge. The device is connected in series to a commercially available Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) device. Blood from the CRRT circuit is diverted after the CRRT hemofilter through to the extra capillary space (ECS) of the SCD. Blood circulates through this space and is returned to the patient via the venous return line of the CRRT circuit. Regional citrate anticoagulation is used for the entire CRRT and SCD blood circuits.

The Primary Clinical Efficacy Endpoint in This Trial is All Cause Mortality Through 60 Days Post-randomization.
All cause mortality through day 60 post-randomization. The outcome data reported here describe the mortality at Day 60 (primary endpoint) of the treated subjects which received the recommended ionized calcium (riCa) for ≥ 90% of treatment time.
Time frame: Day 60 following treatment initiation
Renal Replacement Therapy Dependency at Day 60.
RRT dependency at day 60 is defined as patient not receiving any form of intermittent or continuous renal replacement therapy at 60 days post enrollment in the study with no plans for additional intermittent or continuous renal replacement therapy.
Time frame: Day 60 following treatment initiation
