Abstract
The present invention relates to the treatment of kidney insufficiency and more particularly to a peritoneal dialysis device. The device is adapted to function in tidal peritoneal dialysis (TPD) mode, the device being characterized by the fact that it is provided with a variation system for varying the parameters of dialysate exchange over time. The system is designed in such a manner as to vary the duration between two cycles for exchanging fractions of dialysate.
