Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) cyclers have evolved from basic mechanical devices into highly interconnected systems that provide much more than automated dialysate exchanges. While pump-based cyclers have established themselves as the most advanced systems, modern gravity cyclers offer a simplistic and cost-effective alternative. Today’s systems allow much-improved integration of information in cloud-based connected health platforms, which greatly facilitates the comprehensive management of PD patients. New developments include advanced connectology, much-improved user experience, and technical advances like systems that aim to generate PD fluid at the point of care, e.g., in the patient's home. PD cyclers have come a long way to become interactive, user-centered medical devices that partner with the patient, nurse, and physician in delivering a highly individualized dialysis treatment and user experience.
