Standalone renal hemodialysis centers, oncology day-care chemotherapy units, and multi-branch specialty clinics across Nairobi, Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisumu, Nakuru, Nyeri, and Kisii deliver life-sustaining, high-frequency clinical sessions governed by strict clinical protocols, costly single-use consumables, temperature-sensitive biologics, and complex national/private insurance reimbursement rules. Running dialysis chair rosters, dialyzer/bloodline stores, Erythropoietin (EPO) cold-chain fridges, and Social Health Authority (SHA / SHIF) or private medical insurer pre-authorizations on paper charts and disconnected billing tools results in unbilled heparin/iron/EPO ampoules, missed chair turnarounds, unlogged Reverse Osmosis (RO) water quality checks, expired high-cost chemotherapy vials, and rejected insurance claims due to missing pre- and post-dialysis vitals or session logs.
At devManue, we engineer specialized Renal Dialysis Center, Oncology Infusion & Biologics Cold-Chain Clinic ERP platforms. Our architecture synchronizes multi-shift chair scheduling, bedside tablet nephrologist/oncologist treatment orders, barcode consumable kit deduction, IoT 2–8°C pharmacy fridge monitoring, and one-click electronic claim dossier compilation.
1. Multi-Shift Dialysis Chair Scheduling, Serology Isolation & RO Water Plant QC
A hemodialysis unit’s capacity is defined by its active machines, nurse-to-patient ratios, serology isolation bays, and strict inter-shift thermal/citric machine disinfection cycles.
- Recurring 3-Shift Chair Roster & Serology Bay Isolation: Schedules chronic patients on recurring weekly patterns (e.g.,
Mon/Wed/FriorTue/Thu/Satacross Morning, Afternoon, and Evening 4-hour shifts) while strictly segregating Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV serology-positive patients to dedicated machines and bays. - Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Treatment & Machine Disinfection Gate: Before the morning shift can open, biomedical technicians must log pre-treatment water hardness, total chlorine/chloramine levels (
<0.1 mg/L), RO permeate conductivity, and bacterial/endotoxin test results; machines automatically lock out next-patient check-in until post-session heat/citric disinfection is recorded. - Bedside Pre/Intra/Post-Dialysis Flowsheet & Dry-Weight Ultrafiltration: Captures pre-dialysis weight, target dry weight, calculated Ultrafiltration Volume (
UFV), vascular access type (AV Fistula, AV Graft, or Permcath central venous catheter), dialysate flow rate (Qd), blood pump speed (Qb), half-hourly blood pressure/pulse readings, and post-dialysis hemostasis weight.
2. Ultrafiltration Calculation, Barcode Consumable Kit & Session Claim Readiness Engine
Every hemodialysis session consumes a specific bill-of-materials—high-flux or low-flux hollow-fiber dialyzer, arterial-venous bloodlines, fistula needles (15G/16G/17G) or catheter dressing kit, acid/bicarbonate concentrates, normal saline priming bags, unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparin, and IV iron sucrose or EPO injections. Our engine verifies clinical ultrafiltration safety limits and reconciles exact consumable lot consumption against the payer package:

}3. Oncology BSA Chemotherapy Compounding, 2–8°C Biologics Cold-Chain & Lab KTV Tracking
For centers running oncology infusion chairs alongside renal dialysis, our platform enforces closed-loop medication safety and longitudinal clinical outcomes:
- Body Surface Area (BSA) & Calvert AUC Chemotherapy Dose Verification: Automatically computes patient
BSA (m²)using Mosteller/DuBois formulas and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for carboplatin dosing, requiring dual-pharmacist barcode verification Inside the biosafety cabinet before printing IV admixture bag labels. - IoT 2–8°C Biologics Fridge Telemetry & Multi-Dose Vial Tracking: Monitors pharmacy refrigerators storing Erythropoietin (
EPO), trastuzumab, rituximab, and insulin with instant SMS/WhatsApp excursion alerts and strict FEFO batch dispensing. - Monthly Dialysis Adequacy (Kt/V & URR) & Anemia Trend Dashboards: Integrates pre- and post-dialysis Blood Urea Nitrogen (
BUN), hemoglobin, ferritin, and potassium lab panels to automatically calculatespKt/V(target≥1.2) and Urea Reduction Ratio (URR ≥65%) across the entire clinic cohort.
