APD Bag

Product Description

Before each dialysis session, your APD cycler is connected to 10-15 liters of clean dialysis solution. A tube from the cycler is then connected to a catheter in your abdomen. The APD cycler is programmed to control the movement of clean dialysis solution into your abdomen by the machine.

It drains the used dialysis solution from your body and replaces it with fresh solution at regular intervals throughout the therapy duration. You will have to set up the dialysis machine with fresh equipment and dialysis fluid for each APD session. Every patient is different and your APD cycler’s program will be customized to your specific needs.

Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) is a form of dialysis that takes place overnight while you sleep. For many, APD offers freedom during the day and a treatment schedule that fits seamlessly into everyday life.APD also known as “cycler-assisted” peritoneal dialysis uses a machine to automate the dialysis process while you sleep. Instead of performing multiple manual exchanges during the day (as with CAPD), APD does the work overnight.Here’s how it works:

Before bedtime, the patient connects their PD catheter to a long tube attached to the APD machine.

Over the course of about 8 hours, the machine cycles dialysis fluid in and out of the abdomen. This process includes:

Filling the abdomen with fresh fluid

Dwelling (letting the fluid sit and absorb waste)

Draining the used fluid out

In the morning, the machine is disconnected, and the waste fluid is emptied—usually into a nearby toilet or drain.

This approach frees ...
