Abstract
A peritoneal dialysis ('PD') system includes a cycler having a micropump actuator, a pressure transducer, and at least one valve actuator; a disposable set including a micropump head sized and shaped for mating with and being driven by the micropump actuator, a pressure sensor configured to operably communicate with the pressure transducer, and at least one fluid valve portion or a portion of at least one fluid line for interfacing with the at least one valve actuator; and a control unit, wherein the disposable set may be arranged to allow, and the control unit may be programmed to operate the micropump actuator and the at least one valve actuator, so that fresh and used dialysis fluid flows through the micropump head in a same direction. The system may also dampen pressure fluctuations via pressure pods, and may analyze the outputs from the pressure pods for patient empty and occlusion detection.
