Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (IPD)
A form of peritoneal dialysis in which dialysis sessions take place two to four
times a week, 12 to 20 hours per session. The dialysis solution is drained
completely at the end of the session and the peritoneal cavity remains empty
between the sessions.
Intraperitoneal Volume (IPV)
The amount of fluid in the peritoneal cavity at a given point in time.
Last Fill Concentration
This is the concentration strength of dialysis solution used for the Last Fill.
The Last Fill dialysis solution concentration may be different from the heater
bag and supply bag concentration.
Last Fill Volume
The Last Fill of solution that is delivered at the end of your therapy and left in
the peritoneal cavity during the day. This is also referred to as a Wet Day.
Low Fill Mode
This mode is available only to patients whose Fill volumes are less than
1000 mL. These patients typically weigh less than 44 lbs (20 kg).
In Low Fill Mode, the Drain logic has lower alarm limits for Slow Flow and No
Flow. A Minimum Drain Time must be set, in addition to a Minimum Drain
Volume. The Negative UF alarm and a Positive UF alarm can be set when in
this mode. Low Fill Mode must be used with the Low Recirculation Volume
Set.
Low Recirculation Volume APD Set with Cassette
(Low Recirculation Volume Set)
A disposable set with a 7.5-foot (2.9-meter) patient line made with a smaller
inside diameter tubing than the other lines in the set. This reduces the fluid
flow to patients using Low Fill Mode. The internal recirculation volume of this
set is 17 mL.
Nite (Night) Therapy Time
The total amount of time for the nighttime portion of Hi-Dose therapy. This
time is fixed and begins as soon as you complete your daytime exchanges.
