Conclusions 1. The siphon principle used in the hydrodynamic system of the PD device ensures ease of operation and reliability and rules out barotraumas of the organs of the abdominal cavity.2. Through the use of the elastic containers in the hydrodynamic system the need for contact of DS with the atmosphere is not required.3. The principle of on-site production of DS makes infection less probable and requires no great expense.4. The unit for dosing of DS components, as designed on the basis of elastic containers placed in rigid chambers with variable volume, is reliable, provides for long-term service and the ability to program the DS concentration parameters, and permits the preparation of hemofiltration substitute and bicarbonate solutions for any purpose.5. A multipatient SCPD meets the needs of a large group of patients with uremia, but individual devices are preferable for nonstandard cases.Department of Hemodialysis and Kidney Transplantation, Republic Clinic, Kishinev.
