CONTROL OF A MACHINE FOR PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

Abstract: a control device performs a method to generate control signals for a dialysis machine, which is configured to perform peritoneal dialysis, pd, treatment comprising one or more fluid exchange cycles in relation to a peritoneal cavity of a patient, to cause a transport of fluid and solutes through its peritoneal membrane. the method comprises: obtaining a target value of a treatment parameter for the pd treatment, obtaining a transport property of the peritoneal membrane, and configuring a transport model by use of the at least one transport property. the transport model defines the transport of fluid and solutes through the peritoneal membrane as a function of control parameters for the pd treatment. the method further comprises: evaluating the transport model to determine set values of the control parameters to achieve the target value, and generating the control signals in correspondence with the set values.
