Abstract: A dialysis system may include a dialysis machine (e.g., a peritoneal dialysis machine) having a housing. Tubing may be extendable between the dialysis machine and a patient for fluid delivery from a container to the patient during a dialysis treatment. A connector may be attachable to the housing and configured to receive at least an end of the tubing. A capacitive sensor may be disposed in proximity to the connector. In connection with priming the tubing, prior to the dialysis treatment, a fluid may be flowable through the tubing from the container to the end of the tubing at the connector such that a presence of the fluid at the end of the tubing may be detectable by the capacitive sensor.

Abstract: Devices and methods for assembling a luer lock fitting (e.g., fitting for use in a hemodialysis and/or a peritoneal dialysis machine) may include a luer lock tool comprising a tool base including a grip portion adjacent a tool portion, the grip portion having an outer diameter and an internal cavity. The tool portion may have an internal cavity and may be configured to selectively receive and retain a male luer lock fitting at a first end of the cavity. A tool cap may have an outer diameter and an internal cavity. The tool cap may include a recessed portion at an end configured to selectively receive and retain a female luer lock fitting. The tool cap internal cavity may be configured to receive at least a portion of the tool portion of the tool base.
