Authors' recommendations:
Based on the low-level, preliminary evidence the WAK device appears to be promising for the frequent treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This device may have a great clinical impact in terms of reduced mortality and morbidity of CKD patients, and therefore may also represent savings in the health system. However this technology may be several years away from being a commercially viable proposition, therefore HealthPACT has recommended it be monitored for further information in 24 months time.
