Official title
Clinical Performance of the Therapy Option FlexPoint (Flexible Volume and Dwell Time Management) of the PD Cycler Sleep•Safe Harmony
Overview
Analysis and comparison of treatments with and without the FlexPoint technology (flexible volume and dwell time management) of the PD cycler sleep•safe harmony
Detailed description
The primary objective of this study are:
* to investigate and compare the clinical performance of standard (default) FlexPoint settings to minimum FlexPoint settings and to the maximum value for permitted peritoneal residual volume of FlexPoint settings of the PD cycler sleep•safe harmony in the treatment of PD patients. * to assess whether usage of the settings of the therapy option FlexPoint (flexible volume and dwell time management) of the PD cycler sleep•safe harmony that deviate from the system default and from former sleep•safe settings, influences the efficacy of APD treatments as well as the hydration status (by using BCM) of PD patients.
The secondary objectives of this study are:
* Patients´ Quality of Life (QoL) * Number of alarms * To investigate the effects on solute removal * To investigate the tolerability of the FlexPoint therapy options * Adverse events / SAE
Interventions
- Device PD cycler
Patients are treated continuously during Peritoneal dialysis with the PD cycler sleep•safe harmony with different FlexPoint settings. According to their randomization the patients are treated with Treatment A, B or C in a different order: * standard (default) FlexPoint settings (Treatment A) * minimum value FlexPoint settings (Treatment B) * maximum value for permitted peritoneal residual volume (50%) of FlexPoint settings (Treatment C)
Primary outcome measures
- Total Kt/V urea [Time frame: every 2 weeks, during the 6 weeks treatment]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Mean daily ultrafiltration (UF) [Time frame: every day, during the 6 weeks treatment]

- Fluid status regularly monitored with Body Composition Monitor (BCM)
- Proper functioning catheter
- Intraperitoneal Pressure (IPP) ≤ 18 cm H2O
- Ability to understand the nature and requirements of the study
Exclusion criteria
- Any conditions which could interference with the patient's ability to comply with the study
- Previous participation in the same study
