Hi,   :waving;

Has anyone heard of these new cassettes that baxter is coming out with?? My nurse said that I was going to be one of the first patients to try it.

I will be getting them starting in November.  The clinic has a few to play with so we will know what to expect.  I ques mine are coming so late cause they (baxter) told me they are doing 6 liter bags last.
I asked why the change and was told for people who are old and people who dont wash up well.  So it will help prevent Periontitus i ques.

Yeah it's for PD. I use the cycler machine at night. I don't know...I guess it's going to be a different way to spike the bags.
