Peritoneal Dialysis Systems in Zambia
Available Peritoneal Dialysis Systems Models

A Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) System is a life-sustaining treatment for individuals with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) where the kidneys can no longer adequately filter waste products and excess fluid from the blood. Unlike hemodialysis, which uses an artificial kidney machine, PD leverages the body's own natural filtration system – the peritoneum. The peritoneum is a large membrane lining the abdominal cavity, rich in tiny blood vessels.

The core of a PD system involves introducing a sterile dialysate solution into the peritoneal cavity through a surgically placed catheter. This dialysate, containing electrolytes and a high concentration of glucose, acts as a drawing agent. Over a prescribed period, waste products and excess fluid from the blood diffuse across the peritoneal membrane into the dialysate. This process, known as dialysis, effectively mimics the filtering function of healthy kidneys. Once the exchange is complete, the used dialysate is drained from the abdomen, carrying the accumulated toxins and fluids with it. This cycle is repeated multiple times daily or overnight, depending on the specific PD modality.

In Zambia, the demand for Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) systems spans across various healthcare settings, primarily focusing on institutions equipped to manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The implementation and utilization of PD are crucial for expanding access to life-sustaining renal replacement therapy beyond traditional hemodialysis centres.

PD systems are particularly vital for:

Our commitment to providing seamless and efficient peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions in Zambia extends to a comprehensive and expertly managed installation process. We understand the critical nature of these systems and prioritize a smooth, safe, and timely setup to ensure your patients can begin treatment without delay. Our process is designed to be transparent and supportive, guiding you through each stage.

Site Preparation: Ensuring Optimal Conditions

Before our team arrives, we'll work closely with your facility to outline the necessary site preparation. This includes:

• Identifying a suitable, clean, and well-lit treatment space that meets hygiene standards.

• Ensuring access to a reliable power source and a clean water supply.

• Verifying that the installation area can accommodate the PD cycler, storage for supplies, and patient comfort.

• Providing clear guidelines for any minor structural modifications or accessibility requirements, if needed.

Delivery: Secure And Timely Arrival

Upon confirmation of site readiness, your PD system components will be carefully packaged and dispatched. Our logistics partners are experienced in handling sensitive medical equipment, ensuring your system arrives securely and on schedule anywhere in Zambia. We will provide tracking information and communicate delivery details proactively.

Installation Steps: Expert And Efficient Setup

Our certified technicians will conduct the installation on-site, adhering to strict protocols:

• Unpacking and Inspection: All components are meticulously unpacked and visually inspected for any transit damage.

• System Assembly: The PD cycler and associated equipment are assembled and positioned according to manufacturer specifications and your facility's layout.

• Electrical and Water Connections: Safe and compliant connections to power and water sources are established.

• Ancillary Equipment Setup: Any accompanying equipment, such as water purification units (if applicable) or specific patient chairs, will be installed and integrated.

• Initial System Check: A thorough preliminary check of all connections and power functions is performed.

Calibration Requirements: Precision For Patient Safety

Accuracy and patient safety are paramount. Post-installation, our technicians will perform rigorous calibration of the PD system. This involves:

• Software Calibration: Ensuring the cycler's software functions precisely and accurately.

• Flow Rate and Volume Calibration: Verifying that the machine accurately delivers the programmed fluid volumes and flow rates.

• Sensor Calibration: Calibrating all internal sensors to guarantee reliable monitoring of dialysate and patient parameters.

• Test Cycle: Executing a complete test cycle to confirm all functions operate as intended under simulated conditions.

Upon successful calibration and a comprehensive demonstration to your clinical staff, the system is ready for patient use. We provide detailed documentation and offer ongoing support to ensure the long-term success of your PD program.

The cost of a peritoneal dialysis (PD) system in Zambia can vary significantly depending on several factors. These include the specific type of system (e.g., automated cycler vs. manual supplies), the brand, the supplier, and whether you are purchasing a complete unit or ongoing consumables. For budgeting purposes, healthcare providers and patients should anticipate a range. A basic manual PD supply kit, which includes solutions, tubing, and connection devices for a single treatment cycle, might cost between K 300 to K 700 Zambian Kwacha (ZMW). For automated cyclers, the initial capital investment can be substantial, potentially ranging from K 30,000 to K 100,000 ZMW or more, depending on the model and its features. Monthly consumable costs for patients on automated PD, which include specialized PD solutions, administration sets, and other disposables, could add another K 2,000 to K 5,000 ZMW per month. It is crucial to obtain detailed quotes from authorized medical equipment suppliers and dialysis centers in Zambia for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing.
