• if your blood potassium level is very low
• if your blood calcium level is very high
• if you have a disorder in lactate metabolism
• if you have a disorder in fructose metabolism (hereditary fructose intolerance)

In general, peritoneal dialysis treatment should not be initiated if you have:

• abdominal region alterations such as

• wounds, or after a surgical operation
• severe burns
• important skin inflammatory reactions
• peritoneal inflammation
• unhealed suppurating wounds
• umbilical, inguinal, or diaphragmatic hernia
• abdominal or intestinal tumors

• intestinal inflammation
• intestinal obstruction
• lung disease, especially pneumonia
• bloodstream infection caused by bacteria
• very high levels of blood fat
• blood accumulation of uremic toxins whose elimination cannot be performed by cleaning the blood.
• severe malnutrition and weight loss, particularly if it is not possible to consume adequate food containing proteins

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor immediately

• in case ofsevere loss of electrolytes (salts)caused byvomiting and/or diarrhea.
• in case ofperitoneal inflammation, recognizable by a peritoneal dialysis solution that comes out of your peritoneum turbid, abdominal pain, fever, malaise, or, in very rare cases, blood contamination.

Show your doctor the bag containing the drainage solution.

• in case of severe abdominal pain, abdominal distension, or vomiting. This may be a sign of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, a complication derived from peritoneal dialysis treatment that can lead to death.

Peritoneal dialysis may causeloss of proteinsandsoluble vitaminsin water. It is recommended to follow a suitable diet or take nutritional supplements to avoid nutritional deficiencies.

Your doctor should regularly monitorelectrolyte balance (salts), blood cell count, renal function,your body weight, and nutritional status.

CAPD/DPCA 2 contains 15 g of glucose in 1000 ml of solution. Depending on the dosing instructions and the size of the container used, it is administered with each bag up to 38 g of glucose (CAPD: astay•safebag of 2500 ml) or up to 75 g of glucose (APD: asleep•safebag of 5000 ml). This should be taken into account in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus

Use of CAPD/DPCA 2 withother medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, haveutilized recentlyor may have to use any other medication.

Peritoneal dialysis may alter the effect of some medications, so your doctor may need to change the dose for some of them, especially the following:

• Cardiac failure medications, such as digoxin.

Your doctor will check your blood potassium level and, if necessary, take the necessary measures.

• Medications that affect calcium levels, such as those containing calcium or vitamin D.
• Medications that increase urine excretion, such as diuretics.
• Oral medicationsthat decrease blood sugar levelsor insulin. Regularly monitor blood sugar levels.

Pregnancy and lactation

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consultyour doctor before using this medication.No adequate data is available regarding the use of CAPD/DPCA 2 in pregnant women or during lactation. If you are pregnant, do not use CAPD/DPCA 2unless your doctor considers it absolutely necessary.

Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medication as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist.If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Your doctor will determine the method, duration, and frequency of use, as well as the required volume of solution and the time of residence in the peritoneal cavity.

If you have tension in the abdominal region, your doctor may reduce the volume.

Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)

• Adults: The recommended dose is between 2000 – 3000 ml of solution four times a day depending on body weight and renal function.

After a residence time of 2 to 10 hours, the solution is drained.

• Children: The doctor will determine the required volume of dialysis solution depending on tolerance, age, and body surface area of the child.

The initial recommended dose is 600 – 800 ml/m2of body surface area four times a day (up to 1000 ml/m2at night).

Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD)

The exchange of bags is controlled automatically by a machine throughout the night. The CAPD/DPCA systemsleep•safeis used.

• Adults:The normal prescription is 2000 ml (maximum 3000 ml) per exchange with 3-10 exchanges during the night and a cyclator time of 8 to 10 hours, and one or two exchanges during the day.

• Children:The volume per exchange should be 800-1000 ml/m2(up to 1400 ml/m2) of body surface area with 5-10 exchanges during the night.

Use CAPD/DPCA 2only in the peritoneal cavity.

Use only CAPD/DPCA 2 if the solution is transparent and the container is not damaged.

Usage Instructions

Systemstay•safefor Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)

First, warm the bag with the solution to body temperature. This must be done using a special heating plate. A 2000 ml bag at an initial temperature of22ºCwill require 120 minutes of heating time. You can find more detailed information in the manual of your heater. To warm the solution, ovens should not be used due to the risk of local overheating. After warming the solution, the exchange of bags can be performed.

1. Check the solution bag (label, expiration date, transparency of the solution, integrity of the bag and overbag)?open the outer bag and the wrapper of the disinfectant plug.
2. Wash your hands with an antimicrobial washing solution.
3. Place the DISC in the organizer (hang the bag with the solution by the upper hanger of the infusion support?unroll the "DISC-bag solution" line?place the DISC in the organizer?place the drainage bag in the lower hanger of the infusion support).
4. Place the catheter extension in one of the two inserts of the organizer.?Put the new disinfectant plug in the other free insert.
5. Disinfect your hands and remove the protective plug from the DISC.
6. Connect the catheter extension to the DISC.
7. Open the valve of the extension?position “?”?initiate the outflow.
8. After the completion of drainage: Purge?position “??”?purge the drainage bag with clean solution (approx. 5 seconds).

11. Disconnection?removethe protective plug of the new disinfectant plug and screw it onto the old?unscrewthe catheter extension from the DISCand screw on the new disinfectant plug.
12. Close the DISC with the open end of the disinfectant plug(located in the right hole of the organizer).
13. Check the clarity and weightof the drained dialysate andif the liquid is clear, discard it.

After proper training, CAPD/DPCA 2 can be used independently at home. Make sure you follow all the steps you learned during training and maintain the necessary hygiene conditions when exchanging bags.

Always check the turbidity of the drained dialysate. See section 2.

If you use more CAPD/DPCA 2 than you should

Any excess dialysis solution that has entered the peritoneal cavity can easily be drained into the drainage bag. If you use too many bags, please contact your doctor, as it may cause electrolyte and/or fluid imbalance.
