technical field
[0001] The present invention generally relates to machines for dialysis of patients with declining renal function. More specifically, the present invention relates to a peritoneal dialysis cycler for performing peritoneal dialysis (PD) in patients experiencing renal failure. Background technique
[0002] When a patient experiences kidney failure, his kidneys are no longer able to filter his blood to remove metabolic byproducts and excess fluid. As such, it is necessary for the patient to undergo dialysis, in which the machine functions as a partial replacement for the patient's diseased kidney. There are two main types of dialysis: (1) hemodialysis and (2) peritoneal dialysis.
[0003] When a patient undergoes hemodialysis, the patient's blood is circulated extracorporeally, where fluid and soluble waste products are removed via osmosis using an artificial membrane. This treatment is usually performed in a hemodialysis center, often a hospital, because of ...
