Abstract
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.
