Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Time to peritonitis diagnosis
Time Frame: 12-months
The time between detection by the CloudCath System and laboratory confirmation of peritonitis.
