Title: Karthik Pitchaimani: Advancing Peritoneal Dialysis Technology.

Introduction

Karthik Pitchaimani is an inventor based in Bengaluru, India, whose patent work focuses on systems for peritoneal dialysis. His inventions address fluid pumping, pressure sensing, and control of dialysis cycles. He is associated with Vantive Health GmbH and Vantive US Healthcare LLC. His listed portfolio includes 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Pitchaimani’s patent, “Peritoneal Dialysis Cycler Using Micropump,” describes a system that combines a cycler with a micropump actuator, pressure transducer, and valve actuator, alongside a disposable set designed to interface with those components. The control unit operates the pump and valves so fresh and used dialysis fluid can flow through the micropump head in the same direction. The system can also use pressure pods to dampen pressure fluctuations and support patient-empty and occlusion detection.

His patent, “Peritoneal Dialysis System Including Peristaltic Pump,” describes a cycler with a peristaltic pump actuator and a disposable set featuring pressure-sensing pods and fluid lines. The control unit directs fresh dialysis fluid toward a heater container and then pumps heated fluid to the patient. It can subsequently reverse the pumping sequence to move used fluid from the patient to a drain.

Career Highlights

Pitchaimani’s listed inventions focus on practical components and control methods for peritoneal dialysis systems. The designs integrate pumping mechanisms, disposable fluid pathways, and pressure sensing to manage fluid movement during treatment.
