Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) system using gravity to deliver fluid from one or more source dialysate bags to the patient as the destination. The present disclosure further relates to a load cell protection assembly that prevents the load cells associated with the delivery of fluid in the system from experiencing an overload condition in either the down direction or the up direction, while maximizing safety and efficiency of the system while minimizing excess cost and complexity.
