    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is a key treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
    • Commercial CAPD solutions are expensive and pose risks during preparation, sterilization, and storage.
    • Existing CAPD methods have limitations despite their benefits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an automated system for inexpensive and safe preparation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids.
    • To create a machine capable of monitoring PD procedures and offering flexible scheduling.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed and constructed a 4-modular automatic unit system.
    • Integrated hemodialysis technology for PD fluid preparation.
    • Incorporated monitoring capabilities for PD procedures and scheduling.

    Main Results:

    • The machine prepares PD fluid at pH 7, free of methylfurfural.
    • It enables inexpensive preparation of PD fluids, reducing costs.
    • The system allows for customized dialysis schedules, including overnight options and on-demand bag filling.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed automated system offers a cost-effective and safer alternative for PD fluid preparation.
    • This technology enhances PD treatment by providing precise control and flexible scheduling.
    • The machine addresses key drawbacks of current CAPD practices, potentially improving ESRD management.
