PeritoneX - Johns Hopkins Student Project to Reduce Peritonitis in PD

Relavo, a company started by a Johns Hopkins engineering student, has designed a way to reduce the risk of infection with PD. The PD tubing ends connect to the PeritoneX device, which automatically disinfects them. When done, the device should be palm-sized. The Relavo team expects to finish development in the next 6-12 months, and then start testing.
