New Fresenius German APD Cycler Improved Sleep Quality for Some

The Silenia cycler was evaluated in a cross-over study compared to other PD cyclers. Among the 13 patients who completed the trial, the Silencia removed just as much water and urea as other cyclers. Among the ten patients who completed sleep surveys, five saw no change, and five had better sleep quality—possibly due to fewer caution messages and alarms.
