AUTOMATED DIALYSIS SYSTEM INCLUDING TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLLED MECHANICALLY AND PNEUMATICALLY ACTUATED PUMPING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved dialysis system and an improved method of performing dialysis.SOLUTION: The present invention provides more particularly systems and methods for performing automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). The system and the method according to the present invention perform dialysis treatment, in which dialyzate is pumped to a patient, and spent dialyzate is pumped out of the patient automatically. In addition, the system and the method can perform various dialysis treatments. Examples of the dialysis treatments to be performed by the present invention include automation of filling, dwelling, and draining of the dialyzate to and from the patient. The dialysis system according to the present invention can perform a dialysis treatment for the patient, for example, a night dialysis treatment for the patient in sleep automatically.
