A peritoneal dialysis ('PD') system includes a cycler including an actuation surface having a peristaltic pump actuator; at least one pair of capacitive sensing plates; a manifold assembly including a rigid manifold having at least one chamber, the rigid manifold configured and arranged to be abutted against the actuation surface for operation, wherein the at least one pair of capacitive sensing plates is positioned to be operable with the at least one chamber; a peristaltic pump tube; and a control unit configured to actuate the peristaltic pump actuator to pump dialysis fluid to the at least one chamber, receive a signal from the at least one pair of capacitive sensing plates, count a number of revolutions of the peristaltic pump actuator, determine a current volume per revolution for the peristaltic pump actuator, and use the current volume per revolution for a subsequent operation of the peristaltic pump actuator.

Peritoneal dialysis system including manifold assembly and peristaltic pump

A peritoneal dialysis system includes a cycler including a pump actuator, a heater and a heating pan operable with the heater, and a disposable set operable with the cycler. The heating pan includes a sidewall forming a slot. The disposable set includes a pumping cassette and a heater/mixing container. The pumping cassette includes a pump chamber configured to be actuated by the pump actuator. Additionally, the heater/mixing container is in fluid communication with the pumping cassette and is sized to be received at the heating pan. The heater/mixing container includes a port configured such that when the port is slid into the slot of the heater pan sidewall, the port is prevented from rotating about an axis transverse to a direction of flow through the port.

Systems and methods for peritoneal dialysis having point of use dialysis fluid preparation including mixing and heating therefore

A peritoneal dialysis ('PD') system includes a cycler including an actuation surface having a peristaltic pump actuator; a manifold assembly including a rigid manifold having first and second chambers (a,b), the rigid manifold configured and arranged to be abutted against the actuation surface for operation, a peristaltic pump tube (gh) extending from the first chamber (a) to the second chamber (b) of the rigid manifold, a dialysis fluid container line (b) extending from the first chamber (a), and a branch line (c) extending between the dialysis fluid container line (b) and the second chamber (b); and a control unit configured to cause the peristaltic pump actuator to actuate the peristaltic pump tube (gh) to pump dialysis fluid from the branch line (c) into the second chamber (b) and from the second chamber (b) into the first chamber (a).
