  • Publication number: 20240366850
    Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system for detecting peritonitis is disclosed herein. In one example, the PD system includes a cycler including a pump actuator and a control unit in operable communication with the pump actuator. The PD system also includes a disposable set comprising a disposable cassette having a pump chamber. The disposable cassette is sized and arranged to be held by the cycler such that the pump chamber is in operable communication with the pump actuator. The disposable set includes a patient line and a drain line extending from the disposable cassette. The PD system further includes a temperature sensor operably coupled to one of the patient line, the drain line, or the disposable cassette to sense a temperature of effluent PD fluid removed from a patient. The control unit is configured to use the sensed temperature to form a patient peritonitis determination and communicate the peritonitis determination.

  • Patent number: 12042589
    Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis system for detecting peritonitis is disclosed herein. In one example, an impedance measurement system includes an impedance monitor configured to sense an impedance of peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) fluid residing within a fluid line. The impedance monitor includes a first conductive lead disposed within a first port along the fluid line and a second conductive lead disposed within a second port along the fluid line. The impedance measurement system also includes a control unit electrically coupled to the impedance monitor. The control unit uses the sensed impedance from the impedance monitor to detect white blood cells to form a patient peritonitis determination. The control unit may communicate the peritonitis determination to alert a clinician.
