sleep•safe harmony® system                                                         APD sleep•safe® system

Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) is a type of PD in which dialysate is exchanged by a special device - a cycler - according to a set programme.

The advantages of using the sleep-safe harmony® cycler are that dialysate exchange can be performed more frequently, the volume of dialysate to be replaced can be changed and the contact time can be varied, thus controlling ultrafiltration and the removal of unwanted substances. The cycler allows the PD procedure to be performed at night when the patient is asleep.

Advantages of sleep•safe harmony® system:

  • Touch-sensitive screen with simple icons and graphic data visualisation, video;
  • Automatic bag identification and connection;
  • Heating of dialysate solutions to body temperature;
  • Pressure control on the patient line to prevent pain caused by outflow;
  • Unique PIN technology for increased safety;
  • Adaptive PD possible;
  • Patient card for efficient data storage and transmission;
  • Paediatric option possible.

The sleep•safe technology

The following are key features of the sleep•safe system:

– Simple handling due to a clear color screen (touchscreen) for displaying and entering data.

– Automatic bag detection and connection.

– Automatic heating of the dialysis fluid to body temperature directly in the flow during the inflow phase.

– Treatment profiling option: Different glucose concentrations can be programmed, for example.

– Patient card: Patient, prescription, and treatment data is saved on a mobile patient card. Up to nine different prescriptions as well as approximately one year of treatment protocols can be saved on the patient card.
