Abstract
A tubing set for performing peritoneal dialysis and a method of operating the same. The tubing set includes elements for administering CCPD as well as elements for administering CAPD wherein preferably the CCPD and CAPD elements share a common reservoir bag and solution bags. The two sets of elements are separable by a releasable coupling. The CCPD elements may include multiple patient connectors in series to allow for multiple separate CCPD therapies. The solution bag and drain bag are separable from the other elements so that the empty solution bag from one tubing set can be used as the drain bag for the next tubing set.
