The Smart canulaTM concept allows for collapsed cannula insertion, and self-expansion within a vein of the body. (A) Computational fluid dynamics, and (B) bovine experiments (76±3.8 kg) were performed for comparative analyses, prior to (C) the first clinical application. For an 18F access, a given flow of 4 l/min (A) resulted in a pressure drop of 49 mmHg for smart cannula versus 140 mmHg for control. The corresponding Reynolds numbers are 680 versus 1170, respectively. (B) For an access of 28F, the maximal flow for smart cannula was 5.8±0.5 l/min versus 4.0±0.1 l/min for standard ( ), for 24F 5.5±0.6 l/min versus 3.2±0.4 l/min (), and for 20F 4.1±0.3 l/min versus 1.6±0.3 l/min (). The flow obtained with the smart cannula was 270±45% (20F), 172±26% (24F), and 134±13% (28F) of standard (one-way ANOVA,  ). (C) First clinical application (1.42 m2) with a smart cannula showed 3.55 l/min (100% predicted) without additional fluids. All three assessment steps confirm the superior performance of the smart cannula design.
