Ordering Supplies

This is my PD cycler:

It is manufactured by Baxter and I need to order consumable supplies each month. They have a very strict calendar regarding supplies, and will start calling you daily if you have not placed your order. The next delivery date is July 5th and my order had to be called in by tomorrow at the latest.

Since my PD prescription requires three bags of solution each night and there are multiple options for dextrose content, it takes a bit of calculating to place the right order. I ended up ordering 26 cases of 6L solution and 7 cases of 3L solution plus 4 cases of miscellaneous supplies (drain bags, caps, tubing). To prevent infections, everything is single-use and disposable so I generate about two bags of trash each week. Very wasteful.
