Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) machine includes a fresh/regenerated PD fluid pump, a used PD fluid pump, a sorbent cartridge located fluidically between the fresh/regenerated PD fluid pump and the used P fluid pump, a degassing tank located fluidically downstream from the sorbent cartridge, at least one valve located fluidically upstream of the degassing tank, and a control unit configured to control the fresh/regenerated PD fluid pump and the used PD fluid pump, the control unit further figured to operate the at least one valve to select whether fresh PD fluid or regenerated PD fluid is pumped by the fresh/regenerated PD fluid pump to the degassing tank.

Abstract: The system comprises of a fluid container, a replaceable applicator head and a compatible, viscous antiseptic solution. The primary advantage is substantially drip free application. The system is non-vented and non-collapsible. The fluid container is non-compressible and comprises a prepping solution, a threaded spout and a container seal. The applicator head consists of a body to which a foam pad is attached and a channel through which the solution flows into the foam when the applicator head is connected to the fluid container. The applicator head when fixed onto the fluid container breaks the seal and creates a continuous channel that is non-vented for the solution to flow into the foam pad.

Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis system includes: a dialysis fluid pump including a pump actuator and a dialysis fluid contacting portion actuated by the pump actuator; a fresh dialysis fluid valve located upstream of the pump and including a fresh valve actuator and a dialysis fluid contacting portion actuated by the fresh valve actuator; a patient line valve located downstream of the pump and including a patient line valve actuator and a dialysis fluid contacting portion actuated by the patient line valve actuator; a drain valve positioned and arranged to receive used dialysis fluid from the patient and including a drain valve actuator and a dialysis fluid contacting portion; a patient line extending from the drain valve; and a fluid loop including dialysis fluid contacting portions of the pump, the fresh dialysis fluid valve, the patient line valve and the drain valve, and wherein the patient line extends from the fluid loop.

Abstract: A disposable set for a peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) treatment includes a fresh PD fluid pumping portion (118a): a used PD fluid pumping portion (118b): a reusable tubing section (124f) including the fresh PD fluid pumping portion (118a) and a one-way valve (132), the reusable tubing section terminating at a first connector; and a disposable tubing section (124u) including the used PD fluid pumping portion (118b) and terminating at a second connector, the second connector configured to be connected to the first connector to form the disposable set for use in the PD treatment.

Abstract: A wearable automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine is disclosed herein. In an example, the APD machine includes a delivery system connected to a dialysis fluid container and a catheter connected to a peritoneal cavity of a patient. The delivery system includes a pump for pumping fresh dialysis fluid from the dialysis fluid container to the patient, and pumping used dialysis fluid from the patient to the dialysis fluid container. The delivery system also includes a control unit configured to control the pump using a flow rate measured by a flow sensor and a pressure measured by a pressure sensor. The APD machine also includes a clothing item to be worn by the patient. The clothing item includes a first section to retain the dialysis fluid container, a heating element positioned adjacent to the first section for warming the fresh dialysis fluid, and a second section to retain the delivery system.
