Amia APD System With Sharesource Connectivity Platform
Features: Learn how the Amia APD System can work for patients
Voice guidance
Simple, voice-guided, step-by-step instructions guide patients through details on how to set up and complete treatments.1 Built-in technical support features assist patients and, if necessary, provide contact information for help. The Amia system can speak to patients in English, Spanish or French Canadian.
The Amia system is the first and only peritoneal dialysis system in the U.S. equipped with voice guidance.1
Remote monitoring
The innovative Sharesource Connectivity Platform enables timely monitoring of patients’ historical treatment data. Sharesource Connectivity Platform establishes two-way connection between each patient’s Amia System and their clinic.2
Touchscreen interface
A large, intuitive touchscreen with graphics and animations guides patients through every step of their therapy, making it easy to learn and simple to perform.
Animation
Patients’ home PD therapy navigation is enhanced with simple, full-color animations. These are designed to help patients follow along with detailed steps, such as proper connect/disconnect procedures and aseptic technique.
Portability
The Amia system's compact size is designed for ease of use and storage at home. When patients are on the go, it can be packed in an optional convenient TSA-compliant carry-on case.1
Vantive offers a Global Travel Club to assist PD patients with travel. Visit PD Empowers to learn more.
SMART software
The SMART software on the Amia system includes advanced features that keep the patient's therapy within the programmed parameters.
- SMART Therapy: The Amia system may provide a more effective treatment than standard tidal therapy because with SMART Therapy, patients receive the benefits of tidal fills and drains while still receiving all of the prescribed total night therapy volume.1
- SMART Drain: If a drain alarm occurs during the night portion of therapy, the patient can activate a SMART Drain. This may allow a patient who experiences drain alarms while on therapy to complete the remainder of the night therapy.1
- SMART Dwells: If the SMART Dwells option is enabled by a clinician during programming, the Amia system will automatically adjust night dwell times for each cycle for the therapy to finish within the total night therapy time.3

Important Safety Information
Intended Use
The Amia Automated PD System is intended for automatic control of dialysate solution exchanges in the treatment of adult renal failure patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. All therapies using the Amia Automated PD System must be prescribed and performed under the responsibility of a physician who is familiar and well informed about peritoneal dialysis.1
The Sharesource portal is intended for use by healthcare professionals to remotely communicate new or modified treatment parameters with compatible dialysis instruments and transfer completed treatment data to a central database to aid in the review, analysis, and evaluation of patients’ historical treatment results. This system is not intended to be a substitute for good clinical management practices, nor does its operation create decisions or treatment pathways.2
