Revolutionizing Peritoneal Dialysis with Viva Komfort: A Leap Towards Smarter, Safer, and Greener Therapy

For individuals battling kidney disease, peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a vital lifeline that ensures toxin removal and fluid balance. However, conventional PD therapy comes with significant challenges – cumbersome storage, high infection risks, and complex daily setups. Viva Komfort is an advanced Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) system with point-of-care PD fluid generation, designed to simplify therapy while prioritizing patient safety and environmental sustainability.

A New Era of Convenience and Efficiency

Unlike traditional APD systems that rely on pre-packaged PD fluid bags, Viva Komfort leverages Point-of-Care (POC) Dialysate Generation, transforming domestic tap water into dialysis-grade purified water. This eliminates the need for excessive fluid storage, reducing the monthly weight burden from 400 kg to just 45 kg. Patients no longer have to struggle with heavy PD fluid bags, as daily handling is reduced to a mere 1.3 kg, a game-changer for elderly and physically challenged individuals.

The system also boasts a simplified setup process, reducing daily preparation time from nearly an hour to just 25 minutes. With fewer steps and intuitive guidance, patients can set up their therapy with minimal effort, making dialysis a less daunting and more manageable part of their routine.

Innovative Features for Infection Prevention

One of the major concerns with PD therapy is the risk of infections, particularly peritonitis. Viva Komfort introduces a three-layered infection management system to address this issue:

1. UV Module: Ensures disinfection of the catheter connection using Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light, minimizing contamination risks associated with transfer set connection.

2. Turbidity Detection: Monitors drain fluid for cloudiness, providing early signs of infection.

3. Integrated Peritonitis Testing: Enables real-time infection confirmation within the system itself, allowing for immediate action.

Enhanced Patient Experience with Smart Technology

Viva Komfort seamlessly integrates with the Viva Konnect Digital Platform, a cloud-based system that connects patients with healthcare professionals in real time. The mobile app enables therapy monitoring, medication tracking, and teleconsultations, empowering patients with greater control over their treatment. Simultaneously, the clinic portal allows doctors to receive live updates, track patient compliance, and provide timely interventions when necessary.

To further enhance usability, Viva Komfort features a 10-inch touchscreen display, low-noise operation, and step-by-step animation instructions. It is designed to seamlessly integrate into the patient’s home environment, minimizing disruptions to their lifestyle. Additionally, its battery backup ensures uninterrupted therapy even during power failures.

Sustainability at the Core: Green Dialysis

Beyond patient benefits, Viva Komfort is a significant step towards environmentally sustainable dialysis. By eliminating the need for excessive PD fluid transportation and storage, the system achieves an 87% reduction in freight weight, contributing to a *1.3 million metric ton reduction in CO2 emissions. Additionally, it cuts down plastic waste by 50% and reduces cardboard usage by 84%.
