Abstract
The present invention relates to the treatment of kidney insufficiency and more particularly to a peritoneal dialysis device. The device is adapted to function in tidal peritoneal dialysis (TPD) mode, the device being characterized by the fact that it is provided with a variation system for varying the parameters of dialysate exchange over time. The system is designed in such a manner as to vary the duration between two cycles for exchanging fractions of dialysate.
Claims41
A method of carrying out tidal peritoneal dialysis comprising:
- determining, with a variation system, parameters of dialysate exchange based on filtration parameters specific to the patient under consideration, duration and/or volume characteristics of the desired dialysis, and a mathematical model enabling the parameters of dialysate exchange to be calculated in order to optimize the result of dialysis;
- based on the determined exchange parameters, administering a series of cycles including administering a fraction of dialysate, pausing, and removing dialysate with a peritoneal dialysis device;
- and
- varying, with the variation system, a duration of a cycle from one cycle to another while the peritoneal dialysis device continues to administer cycles in the tidal peritoneal dialysis mode.

A peritoneal dialysis device adapted to function in a tidal peritoneal dialysis mode, the device comprising a variation system for varying the parameters of dialysate exchange over time, said variation system being constructed and adapted to take into account filtration parameters specific to a patient under consideration and to vary a duration of a cycle of exchanging a fraction of dialysate, as compared to a duration of a previous cycle, while functioning in the tidal peritoneal dialysis mode.
A peritoneal dialysis device adapted to function in tidal peritoneal dialysis mode, the device comprising:
- a variation system for varying the parameters of dialysate exchange over time, said variation system being adapted to be programmed and established on the basis of optimization that takes account of filtration parameters specific to each patient under consideration, wherein the variation system is adapted to vary a volume of an exchanged dialysate fraction from one cycle to another while functioning in the tidal peritoneal dialysis mode.
A peritoneal dialysis device adapted to function in a tidal peritoneal dialysis mode by administering a continuous series of cycles, each cycle including administering a fraction of dialysate, pausing, and removing dialysate, the device comprising a variation system programmed with a sequence of instructions defining:
- responsive to parameters specific to a patient under consideration and while continuously administering the cycles, varying a duration of a cycle from one cycle to another.
