The Development of Peritoneal Dialysis Machines in India: From Expense to Technological Innovation

The availability of easy-to-use, automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) machines has made home dialysis more accessible to a larger number of patients. The new machines are designed with features such as pre-programmed cycles, safety alarms, and accurate fluid management, which minimize the need for continuous monitoring. This has not only improved patient safety but also decreased the workload for caregivers.
