Kolff
M.D.
,
Ph.D
.
(at
left
leaning
on the
patient's
bed)
and his
dialysis
machine
,
along
with a
dialysis
team
. This
dialysis
machine
was
made
from a
Maytag
washing
machine
in
1964
.
It
allowed
patients
with
kidney
disease
to
survive
longer
by
periodically
cleaning
the
blood
to
dispose
of
waste
and
fluid
.
Kolff
(b
.
1911
)
began
developing
an "
artificial
kidney
" in the
Nazi-occupied
Netherlands
around
1940
. He
made
continuous
improvements
to
it
,
even
after
joining
the
staff
of the
Cleveland
Clinic
in
1950
. He
tried
to
devise
machines
that
could
be
made
from
readily
available
and
pre-existing
materials
so
that
dialysis
could
be
performed
anywhere
in the
country
and
patients
would not have to
travel
to
Cleveland
.
Kolff
left
the
Cleveland
Clinic
to
take
a
position
on the
faculty
of the
University
of
Utah
in
1967
. He
continued
his
work
there, and his
Utah
program
produced
the
Jarvik
heart
, the
first
artificial
heart
actually
used
in
humans
.
Kolff
and the
Artificial
Organs
Department
(now
Biomedical
Engineering)
he
founded
at the
Cleveland
Clinic
also
developed
such
things
as an
artificial
heart
(forerunner
of the
Jarvik
heart)
, a
heart-lung
machine
(membrane
oxygenator)
to
keep
the
circulation
going
while
the
heart
was
stopped
, and
artificial
heart
valves
.
