Gravity based dialysis system and device and method for therapy prescription optimisation

A method of managing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) of a person in need thereof, said method comprising:

• entering prescription data on programmable circuitry;
• generating interactive information and sequential instructions in the programmable circuitry, said interactive information and sequential instructions being for the performance of CAPD treatment according to the prescription data;
• displaying the interactive information and sequential instructions on a user interface;
• gathering treatment data including at least one of:
• dates and times when CAPD treatments are preformed;
• durations of flushing, filling and/or draining;
• quantities of a dialysate solution used during flushing, filling and/or draining;
• and intraperitoneal hydrostatic pressure (IPP);
• and
• communicating the treatment data to a healthcare provider via a communication module.
