Title: PD transfer set
Post by: Atooraya on October 04, 2011, 06:46:25 PM

 ???How often does the transfer set need to be replaced.
I've had mine for over a year. The valve operates at least three time a day. Thats over 1095 times in a year.
I just hope it doesn't fail at a random time.

At my clinic it is every 6mths and if you had peritonitis they will replace it after the antibiotics are complete.
