Peritoneal dialysis system and method having intraperitoneal pressure sensing
A peritoneal dialysis (PD) system includes a housing; a dialysis fluid pump housed by the housing; a dual lumen patient line extending from the housing; a filter set including a final stage filter located along a first line, and which includes a second line in parallel with the first line, the first line in fluid communication with a first lumen of the dual lumen patient line, and the second line in fluid communication with a second lumen of the dual lumen patient line; a pressure sensor located within the housing and positioned so as to sense a static or substantially static PD fluid pressure in the second lumen while fresh PD fluid is pumped through the first lumen and the final stage filter; and a control unit configured to use the sensed static or substantially static pressure in a pressure control routine for the dialysis fluid pump.
HANDPIECE ASSEMBLY AND DENTAL UNIT CHAIR INCLUDING THE SAME
The present invention provides a handpiece assembly, including: a handpiece; a fluid tube connected to the handpiece and formed to allow fluid to flow therein; and a swing arm formed to support the fluid tube and be bent in a bending direction as the handpiece is pulled, in which the swing arm include: a continuous member formed to extend continuously along a longitudinal direction; and a plurality of individual members coupled to the continuous member and distinct from each other, and a pair of adjacent individual members of the plurality of individual members defines a separation space to allow the bending of the continuous member along the bending direction, and a dental unit chair including the same.

PERITONEAL DIALYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD HAVING INTRAPERITONEAL PRESSURE SENSING
A peritoneal dialysis (PD) system includes a housing, a dialysis fluid pump, a dual lumen patient line extending from the housing, and a filter set including a filter located along a first line. A second line of the filter set is parallel with the first line, where the first line is in fluid communication with a first lumen of the dual lumen patient line and the second line is in fluid communication with a second lumen of the dual lumen patient line. The PD system also includes a pressure sensor positioned to sense a static or substantially static negative PD fluid pressure in the first lumen while used PD fluid is pulled through the second lumen of the dual lumen patient line. A control unit is configured to use the sensed static or substantially static negative PD fluid pressure in a pressure control routine for the dialysis fluid pump.
Peritoneal dialysis system using disinfection
A peritoneal dialysis (PD) system includes a housing; a dialysis fluid pump housed by the housing and including a reusable pump body that accepts PD fluid for pumping; a dialysis fluid inline heater housed by the housing and including a reusable heater body that accepts PD fluid for heating; at least one reusable PD fluid line extending from the housing; at least one disinfection connector supported by the housing and configured to accept one of the at least one reusable PD fluid line; and a control unit configured to run a disinfection sequence after a PD treatment, wherein each of the at least one reusable PD fluid line is connected to one of the at least one disinfection connectors, and wherein at least one of the dialysis fluid pump or the dialysis fluid inline heater is actuated by the control unit during the disinfection sequence.
