Renal Replacement Therapy
Typical Use
Automate nocturnal peritoneal dialysis exchanges for home therapy.
Description
A programmable device that performs automated peritoneal dialysis exchanges overnight by cycling dialysate into and out of the peritoneal cavity through a peritoneal catheter, enabling home based renal replacement therapy with flexibility and improved quality of life for selected patients. Cyclers control dwell times, exchange volumes, and ultrafiltration targets while monitoring alarms and ensuring sterile connections to reduce peritonitis risk. Patient training, exit site care, and regular clinical follow up are essential to maintain technique, detect complications early, and optimize dialysis adequacy and nutrition.
