20260034285 · 2026-02-05 ·

A peritoneal dialysis (PD) system includes a PD fluid pump, a PD fluid heater positioned and arranged to heat fresh PD fluid pumped by the PD fluid pump, and a phase change material (PCM) device positioned and arranged to receive fresh PD fluid heated by the PD fluid heater. The PCM device includes a PCM having a melting temperature selected so that the PCM melts when overheated fresh PD fluid contacts the PCM, removing heat from the overheated fresh PD fluid.
