The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $299,646 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to Kuleana Technology, Inc. The grant supports the development of a dialysate regeneration system based on photo-electrochemical urea oxidation and reactive adsorption. This technology aims to enable portable hemodialysis by removing uremic toxins from dialysis machine waste and recycling the cleaned dialysate, eliminating the need for a continuous water connection. The project is a collaboration between Kuleana Technology, the Center for Dialysis Innovation at the University of Washington, and the Northwest Kidney Centers, with the university performing the necessary scientific research and development. The goal is to develop a dialysis regeneration module that can be submitted to the FDA for 510(k) approval, allowing dialysis machines to be used without requiring plumbing modifications. The award period is from September 22, 2023 to September 21, 2024.
