  • Patent number: 11255844
    Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluid line set includes a fluid line configured to carry spent dialysate to a drain receptacle and a chemical testing device disposed along the fluid line. The chemical testing device is configured to detect a presence of a substance in the spent dialysate as the spent dialysate flows past the chemical testing device, and the chemical testing device is configured to provide a visual indicator of the presence of the substance in the spent dialysate.

  • Publication number: 20190275217
    Abstract: A dialysis system includes a dialysis machine, a drain line configured to be connected to the dialysis machine to direct waste fluid from the dialysis machine to a drain, and a plug device configured to be inserted into and secured to an opening of the drain. The plug device is connectable to the drain line to allow the waste fluid to be directed from the dialysis machine, through the drain line, through the plug device, and into the drain.

  • Patent number: 10195411
    Abstract: A tubing set includes a rigid medical fluid chamber, medical fluid tubing, and a cuff. The rigid medical fluid chamber includes a housing and a tubular fitting extending from the housing. The medical fluid tubing is connected to the tubular fitting such that the medical fluid tubing is in fluid communication with the medical fluid chamber. The cuff is positioned over a length of the medical fluid tubing to inhibit denting of a wall of a length of the medical fluid tubing connected to the tubular fitting and extending beyond the tubular fitting. The cuff inhibits denting when the medical fluid tubing is coiled.
