Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for carrying out a peritoneal dialysis treatment comprising a reservoir for fresh dialysis fluid, a connector for connecting to a peritoneal catheter of a patient, a drain for consumed dialysis fluid, and a control unit connected to actuators, wherein the apparatus is configured to carry out a plurality of consecutive inflow-dwell-outflow cycles for a treatment on the basis of a prescription stored in the control unit, in which inflow-dwell-outflow cycles dialysis fluid is supplied to the patient from the reservoir and is led off through the outflow again after the elapse of a specific dwell time in the peritoneum of the patient, and wherein the apparatus is further configured to already replace a portion of the dialysis fluid present in the peritoneum of the patient with fresh dialysis fluid from the reservoir before the elapse of the dwell time in at least one cycle if, in at least one preceding cycle, the volume of fresh dialysis fluid provided in accordance with the prescription for this preceding cycle was not completely consumed.
