I couldn't see any mention of the time it took to build the device, but I'd hazard a guess that the lifespan of a 6lb baby with failed kidneys could be measured in hours, which would seem to imply that the design was reasonably straightforward.
Not to devalue the doctor's work though. He did save someone's life.

Yes I'm sure it's "reasonably straightforward" to build a dialysis machine in a couple of hours, racing against a dying baby.
I said "design", not "build".
A second possibility is that he is a genius or was inspired enough to be a genius for that duration.
