The central dialysis fluid delivery system (CDDS) has been working exclusively in Japan since 1970, a fact which proves that CDDS is useful in the multi-patient treatment with in-center regular hemodialysis. It is a cost-effective, labor-saving and time-tested system with 40 years of experience. Microbial safety is improved by a refined system design, multiple endotoxin retentive filters (ETRF) and daily overnight disinfection of the entire system. Consequently, the usage of backfiltered dialysate is now accepted by regulatory authorities in some bedside consoles and even more the creation of dialysate is possible for infusion to meet its requirements. In many countries, especially in Asia, the number of end-stage renal disease patients is rapidly increasing. CDDS will contribute to such emerging situations with its easy handling and economical advantages.
