Embodiment Construction

[0062] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used generally have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0063] The articles "a / an" and "a / an" are used to refer to one or to more than one (ie to at least one) of the grammatical object of said article. By way of example, "an element" means one element or more than one element.

[0064] The terms "alarm", "provide an alarm" or "provide an alarm" refer to any audible, visual or tactile indication of a particular state of the system or patient.

[0065] The term "at least" means not less than or at least. For example, "at least one" may be one or more than one of any number.

[0066] The term "bacteria concentration test" may refer to determining the concentration of bacteria in a sample. Bacterial concentration can be measured by turbidity, viable cell count, wet mass, and other methods known to those skilled in the art.

Abstract

The invention relates to systems and methods for monitoring the long term health of the peritoneum and catheter in a patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. The systems and methods include processors and sensors for determining changes in the peritoneum health or catheter of a PD patient to support analysis, replacement, and possible medical intervention. The method can include receiving a prior history of a patient; storing the prior history in a machine-readable storage medium, which when executed performs the steps of trending the one or more fluid parameters from the prior history; and determining a change in peritoneum health or catheter patency from the trended prior history. The system can include a peritoneal dialysis cycler having an infusion line and an effluent line; at least one sensor positioned in the infusion line, the effluent line, or combinations thereof; and a processor in communication with the sensor.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit and priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 373,225, filed August 10, 2016, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to systems and methods for monitoring the long-term health of the peritoneum and catheter in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy. Systems and methods include processors and sensors for determining changes in peritoneal health or catheters in PD patients to support analysis, replacement, and possible medical intervention. Background technique [0004] During peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy, patients may encounter problems such as infection, peritonitis, peritoneal failure or problems with catheters used to deliver peritoneal dialysis therapy. Current systems and methods do not monitor catheter health and / or performance from one PD session to another. Cath...
