A Prospective Clinical Study to EvaluAte the AbiliTy of the CloudCath System to Detect Peritonitis During In-Home Peritoneal Dialysis (CATCH)

Realtime Remote Detection of Evolving Peritonitis in Peritoneal Dialysis

“…Due to these challenges, there will be considerable interest in the CATCH study published by Rajnish Mehrotra and colleagues from the University of Washington School of Medicine in this issue of Kidney International Reports. 7 The authors present results from the CloudCath system that monitors turbidity in dialysis effluent to detect possible episodes of peritonitis as they develop. This is done using an optical sensor in the drain line of the automated PD machine that sends data directly to a cloud-based portal.…”
