An inline heating system including an inline heater including a heater element; a control unit configured to cause one of voltage or current to be applied to power the inline heater; and a current or voltage meter positioned and arranged to measure the other of current or voltage at the heater element due to the applied voltage or current, wherein the control unit is further configured to determine a heater element resistance using the applied voltage or current and the measured current or voltage as part of a no flow or low flow condition detection algorithm implemented by the control unit, wherein the voltage or current applied to power the inline heater is stopped if the no flow or low flow condition is detected.

A peritoneal dialysis ('PD') system includes a plurality of PD fluid components, a reusable PD fluid line selectively fluidly communicating with the PD fluid components, a source of PD fluid selectively fluidly communicating with the reusable PD fluid line, a source of anti-scaling fluid selectively fluidly communicating with the reusable PD fluid line, and a control unit configured to (i) operate the plurality of PD fluid components during treatment using PD fluid from the source heated to a treatment temperature, and (ii) circulate unused PD fluid heated to a disinfection temperature in combination with anti-scaling fluid from the source of anti-scaling fluid after treatment for disinfecting the plurality of PD fluid components and the reusable PD fluid line, the anti-scaling fluid provided in an amount configured to lower the pH of the unused PD fluid to a level below which precipitates are formed and above which the pH causes disinfection.

A mobile dialysis fluid generation system includes a cargo unit configured to be transported by a vehicle; a cleanroom located inside the cargo unit; water purification equipment; at least one dialysis fluid preparation unit located inside the cleanroom; and at least one area provided outside the cleanroom but inside the cargo unit for storing at least one of a raw material or containers filled with dialysis fluid. The at least one dialysis fluid preparation unit includes at least one concentrate, a mixing device configured to receive purified water from the water purification equipment and to mix the purified water with the at least one concentrate to form dialysis fluid, and a tubing set for transfer of the dialysis fluid from the mixing device to a container positioned and arranged to receive the dialysis fluid.

A peritoneal dialysis ('PD') system includes a PD fluid pump; a disinfection loop including the PD fluid pump, the disinfection loop including PD fluid used for disinfecting the disinfection loop; and a carbon dioxide (CO), source positioned and arranged to supply COto the disinfection loop to inhibit and/or remove the production of calcium carbonate (CaCO) during a disinfection sequence. The PD system includes a control unit configured to open a valve to allow COto be supplied, wherein the control unit may use a lookup table or algorithm to determine the desired pressure or pressure increase.
