A dialysis system, comprising: a dialysis machine; a voice recognition component configured to identify a voice command in audio information received by a microphone of the dialysis system; an authentication component configured to determine a source of the voice command; and a processor configured to perform a function determined based on the voice command.

methods, apparatuses, and systems for determining a peritoneal transport status of a patient based on mass analyzing low volumes of peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluent to generate patient information that may be evaluated using PD effluent fingerprints to determine peritoneal transport characteristics of the patient are described. For example, in one embodiment, a method of determining a transport status of a dialysis patient may include obtaining a volume of peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluent of the dialysis patient, generating patient information via mass analysis of the volume of PD effluent, and determining patient profile information based on evaluating the patient information with a profile library, the patient profile information comprising a peritoneal transport status classification. Other embodiments are described.

A medical treatment system, such as peritoneal dialysis system, may include control and other features to enhance patient comfort and ease of use. For example, a peritoneal dialysis system may include patient line state detector for detecting whether a patient line is primed before it is to be connected to the patient. The patient line state detector can also the ability to detect whether a patient line has been properly mounted for priming. Both patient line presence/absence and fill state can be determined using an optical system, e.g., one that employs a single optical sensor.

The present invention relates to medical fluid treatments, such as the treatment of renal failure. More specifically, the present invention relates to the testing of such systems.

A blood purification device includes a device body and a cassette. The cassette includes: a casing that accommodates a removal water receptacle; and pump tube. The device body includes fingers, a driving unit, and a housing. The cassette can be attached to and removed from the housing of the device body so that the pump tubes are positioned between the plurality of fingers and the outer surfaces of the casing.

Devices, systems, and methods herein relate to predicting infection of a patient. These systems and methods may comprise illuminating a patient fluid in a fluid conduit from a plurality of illumination directions, measuring an optical characteristic of the illuminated patient fluid using one or more sensors, and predicting an infection state of the patient based at least in part on the measured optical characteristic.
