Abstract
A peritoneal dialysis machine is provided having a machine housing and a weighing pan for receiving one or more solution bags. The weighing pan is connected to a weighing cell for weight measurement, wherein one or more torque limiting devices are provided which prevent the occurrence of a torque or of a torque exceeding a limit value in the weighing cell. The torque limiting device is configured such that with a torque acting on the weighing pan, it moves the weighing pan such that it comes into contact with the machine housing or with an element connected to the machine housing such that the torque is led off into the machine housing or into the element.
