Around 3 millon people worldwide with end stage renal disease regularly need to use one of the established dialysis methods. The most common is haemodialysis but less irwasive is peritoneal dialysis where peritoneum takes the role of artificial kidney /1/. Using APD-Automatic peritoneal Dialysis, PD dialiser executes the whole cycle of successive charging and dialysis fuid discharging during the night. Connection of lines, solutions and patient to PD dialyser is done by use of connectors which are protected with caps that must be unscrewed sterly before use. In the production of disposable PDL lines the caps are screwed to connectors manually or automatically. Aulomatic screwing guarantees controlled and repetitive screwing conditions, as well as higher throughput. In the article we describe such a machine that we built. It is fuly automatic and needs to be occasionally reflled with material and reset to define new material lot. Process, as well as production, parameters are put-in through user friendly touch screen.
