Abstract
Systems and methods of generating and regenerating peritoneal dialysate are provided. The systems and methods use a dialysate regeneration module, a sterilization module and concentrates to prepare peritoneal dialysate from used peritoneal dialysate or source water. An optional integrated cycler for direct infusion of the generated peritoneal dialysate is included. Optional dialysate storage containers are provided for storage of the peritoneal dialysate prior to use.
Claims40
A system, comprising:
- a water source;
- a peritoneal dialysate generation flow path;
- wherein the peritoneal dialysate generation flow path is fluidly connectable to the water source;
- one or more peritoneal dialysate regeneration modules fluidly connectable to the peritoneal dialysate generation flow path;
- a concentrate source fluidly connectable to the peritoneal dialysate generation flow path;
- the concentrate source containing one or more solutes;
- and
- a sterilization module fluidly connectable to the peritoneal dialysate generation flow path.
