| sleepĢýsafe harmonyis a device to treat children on automated PD, in general during the night time at home. It offers high flexibility to tailor a treatment according to the individual needs of the patient: |
| Adjustable flow rates for low volume treatments |
| Special pediatric disposable set for low volumes |
| Option to perform ĢýAdapted APD (aAPD)Ģý by varying dwell time and fill volume. |
| Giving parents the option in the treatment and its comfort |
| Integrated on-device animations guiding through the treatment procedure |
| Quiet hydraulic pump system enables a good nightĢýs sleep |
| PIN technology reduces the number of risk steps associated with disconnection and reconnection* |
* Calculated on basis of a 4 bag connections per day prescription
bicaVeraԻbalanceĢý Biocompatible PD fluids
Experts recommend that biocompatible multi-chambered PD fluids which are low in glucose degradation products (GDP) should become the standard of care for children on PD2. Children dialyzed with biocom¬patible PD fluid show significant catch-up growth when compared to children on conventional solutions3.
The concentration of glucose degradation products (GDPs) differs considerably. balance and bicaVerashow lowest levels of GDPs compared to other biocompatible PD fluids7.
Pure bicarbonate PD fluid - bicaVera
bicaVerais purely bicarbonate-buffered and proven to better correct metabolic acidosis than lactate containing PD fluids4,5. It is recommended in end stage renal failure2.
Less infusion pain
The use of bicarbonate-buffered PD fluids in comparison to conventional lactate-buffered fluids is associated with lower incidence of infusion pain4and reduced capillary recruitment2.
Biocompatible fluids are essential for growth
