18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • currently using peritoneal dialysis
  • provides informed consent
  • willing to comply with the requirements of the study
  • has cellular data coverage at home

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • active or history of cancer requiring chemotherapy within prior 6 months
  • signs or symptoms of an active infection within 14 days prior to enrollment
  • peritonitis diagnosis within 30 days prior to enrollment
  • participating in another investigational device or drug study that may potentially affect study results
  • other medical, social or psychological problems that, in the opinion of the investigator, exclude the study participant from the study

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

CloudCath detection

Arm Description

Active monitoring of dialysate effluent by the CloudCath System.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Time to peritonitis diagnosis
The time between detection by the CloudCath System and laboratory confirmation of peritonitis.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Agreement in peritonitis detection between the CloudCath System and clinical criteria.
clinical criteria include: white blood cells (WBC) (>100 cells per microliter or >0.1 x10^9/L), polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) (>50%), microbiology culture results, gram staining, and peritonitis symptoms
Agreement in detection of clinically actionable events between the CloudCath System and laboratory reports and/or diagnosis
Clinically actionable events defined as an event which requires treatment (i.e., prescribing medications, cleaning an exit site, etc) or intervention (i.e., PD catheter manipulation, removal). Events of interest for this protocol include, but are not limited to, peritonitis, exit site or tunnel infection, and peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter dysfunction (including PD catheter-related bleeding and PD catheter-related drainage issues).
Agreement in detection of clinically relevant events based on CloudCath System, as compared to clinical laboratory results or diagnosis of a clinically relevant event.
Clinically relevant events are defined as clinically actionable events, events treated preventatively or medically relevant events.
Sensitivity and Specificity of the CloudCath System to detect peritonitis as compared to diagnostic laboratory testing
Analysis of sensitivity and specificity of CloudCath System detection of peritonitis, as compared to diagnostic laboratory testing

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study aims to determine if the CloudCath device can detect infections related to peritoneal dialysis (peritonitis) as fast or faster than the current standard methods used by patients and doctors to detect such infections.
Detailed Description
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the CloudCath System to detect the onset of peritonitis as compared to standard of care. Study Participants will connect the CloudCath System to their home peritoneal dialysis unit and the CloudCath System will analyze the effluent dialysis solution for changes associated with peritonitis. The system will alert the participant and healthcare provider if it detects a possible infection so they can be formally diagnosed by their healthcare provider. Following enrollment, Study Participants will use the CloudCath System for 12 continuous months. Study results from the ACT study will be compared to the results of the CATCH Study (Protocol number CC-P-001; NCT04515498). In CATCH, the Study Participants used a CloudCath System; however, the notification capabilities (per the CloudCath System algorithm) were deactivated.
