Abstract
A peritoneal dialysis ('PD') system includes a PD fluid pump, a dual lumen patient line including fresh and used PD fluid lumens, a filter set in fluid communication with the fresh and used PD fluid lumens, a valve provided either with a patient's transfer set or with the filter set, and a control unit configured, after a patient drain, to (i) prompt a patient or caregiver to close the valve when the valve is a manual valve, or (ii) cause the valve to close automatically when the valve is an electrically or pneumatically controlled valve. The control unit is further configured to cause the PD fluid pump, with the valve closed, to pump fresh, heated PD fluid into the fresh PD fluid lumen to displace unheated PD fluid from the fresh PD fluid lumen, through the filter set, into the used PD fluid lumen. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
