Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Analysis and comparison of treatments with and without the FlexPoint technology (flexible volume and dwell time management) of the PD cycler sleep•safe harmony

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of this study are:

* to investigate and compare the clinical performance of standard (default) FlexPoint settings to minimum FlexPoint settings and to the maximum value for permitted peritoneal residual volume of FlexPoint settings of the PD cycler sleep•safe harmony in the treatment of PD patients.
* to assess whether usage of the settings of the therapy option FlexPoint (flexible volume and dwell time management) of the PD cycler sleep•safe harmony that deviate from the system default and from former sleep•safe settings, influences the efficacy of APD treatments as well as the hydration status (by using BCM) of PD patients.

The secondary objectives of this study are:

* Patients´ Quality of Life (QoL)
* Number of alarms
* To investigate the effects on solute removal
* To investigate the tolerability of the FlexPoint therapy options
* Adverse events / SAE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD)

During the clinical phase, patients are treated continuously with the PD cycler sleep•safe harmony.

The total duration of the clinical phase is six weeks and is divided into 3 Phases à 2 weeks (Clinical phase I, II, and III) which only differ in the FlexPoint settings.

According to their randomization the patients are treated with Treatment A, B or C in a different order:

* standard (default) FlexPoint settings (Treatment A)
* minimum value FlexPoint settings (Treatment B)
* maximum value for permitted peritoneal residual volume (50%) of FlexPoint settings (Treatment C)

Group Type OTHER

PD cycler

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patients are treated continuously during Peritoneal dialysis with the PD cycler sleep•safe harmony with different FlexPoint settings.

According to their randomization the patients are treated with Treatment A, B or C in a different order:

* standard (default) FlexPoint settings (Treatment A)
* minimum value FlexPoint settings (Treatment B)
* maximum value for permitted peritoneal residual volume (50%) of FlexPoint settings (Treatment C)
