A Clinical Study of the Safety and Efficacy of a Wearable Device (CLS UF) That Delivers Continuous Administration of Glucose to Recirculated Peritoneal Dialysis Fluid for the Purpose of Ultrafiltration in Patients With Congestive Heart Failure
A Clinical Study of the Safety and Efficacy of a Wearable Device (CLS UF) That Delivers Continuous Administration of Glucose to Recirculated Peritoneal Dialysis Fluid for the Purpose of Ultrafiltration in Patients With Congestive Heart Failure
A single-center, prospective, non-randomized, clinical and first-in-human study. Each patient will be studied during a single treatment session of ten hours. The device will be connected to an existing, standard PD catheter that the patient will be using routinely prior to the study (i.e. a peritoneal dialysis catheter will not be specifically inserted for the study). The patient will be hospitalized for observation during the test day and during the night following the study session. Ultrafiltration volume, dialysate glucose concentrations, blood glucose concentrations as well the patient's acceptability and tolerance of the wearable device will be evaluated.
Inclusion Criteria:
Male or female patient, 18-80 years of age.
Prevalent PD patients with CHF with cardio-renal syndrome type II, on stable ultrafiltration, for more than two months, treated with PD based UF according to German national guidelines.
Treatment based on night time APD therapy combined with a day time long dwell.
Obtained written consent to participate in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
