IPD – Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis
IPD is an Intermittent Therapy, meaning it is interrupted.
With IPD, your cycler does your Exchanges during the
night. Your machine Drains you in the morning so you do
not have dialysate in your peritoneal cavity during the day.
Tidal Peritoneal Dialysis
Depending on the program, Tidal PD can be either
Intermittent or Continuous. With Tidal PD, your cycler
does your Exchanges during the night. However, your
machine does not always fully drain you during each
Exchange. Only a portion is drained and filled with each
Exchange. Depending on your prescription, you may end
the treatment with a Fill or Drain.
CCPD – Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis
CCPD is a Continuous Therapy. It is the most common
therapy prescribed. With CCPD, you have dialysate in
your peritoneal cavity at all times. Two or more dialysate
Exchanges are done through the night and one long
Exchange is done during the day. Each morning your
cycler will fill you for the day. When you reconnect to
your machine again at night, you must first drain the
dialysate that dwelled in you since the end of your last
treatment.
PD+ – Peritoneal Dialysis Plus™
PD Plus™ is a Continuous Therapy like CCPD, but it also
includes Drains and Pause-type Dwells during the day to
offer more waste removal.
Your cycler's screen order
The number of times that you drain, fill, and dwell (or
pause) depends on your prescribed therapy. The following
screens are shown only to explain the different features.
Follow your own machine's setup. Your cycler will
automatically take you through your prescription.
