A peritoneal dialysis system comprises a cycler including a pump actuator; a disposable set including a pumping portion operable with the pump actuator, a patient line positioned to fluidly communicate with the pumping portion, and a drain container positioned to fluidly communicate with the pumping portion; and a control unit configured to cause the pump actuator to actuate the pumping portion to (i) run a peritoneal dialysis treatment in which fresh dialysis fluid is pumped through the patient line to a patient and used dialysis fluid is pumped from the patient to the drain container, and (ii) at the end of treatment, pump the used dialysis fluid from the drain container, through the patient line, to a house drain.

A treatment device system includes a treatment machine for performing a therapy on a patient, the treatment machine including at least one fluid conveyor and a controller, the controller having a first memory, to cause the at least one fluid conveyor to produce a therapeutic fluid by mixing purified water and at least one concentrate. The system also includes a water purifier with an internal central controller, in fluid communication with and providing the purified water to the treatment machine. A wired or wireless control line provides two way communication between the controller of the treatment machine and the internal central controller of the water purifier, the controller of the treatment machine transmitting data via the control line to the internal central controller of the water purifier for control of the water purifier, the data provided based on at least one of the operator inputs received via the user interface.

A treatment device system includes a treatment machine for generating a custom dialysis solution and including at least one fluid conveyor, the treatment machine having a controller, the controller having a first memory, configured to produce the custom dialysis solution by causing the at least one fluid conveyor to mix purified water and at least one concentrate. The system also includes a user interface and a water purifier in fluid communication with and providing the purified water to the treatment machine, the water purifier including an internal central controller, the internal central controller having a second memory, to control preparation of the purified water. A server is communicatively coupled with the treatment machine and a control line provides two way communication between the controller of the treatment machine and the internal central controller of the water purifier.

A medical treatment machine, such as a dialysis machine (e.g., a home dialysis machine, such as a home hemodialysis machine or a home peritoneal dialysis machine) can receive a digital prescription file that defines parameters of a medical treatment to be administered to a patient. The digital prescription file can be prepared and delivered in such a way that the medical treatment machine can confirm that the issuer (e.g., provider) of the digital prescription file is an authorized issuer without having any a priori knowledge of the particular issuer. The digital prescription file can be delivered irrespective of the inherent security (or lack thereof) of the transmission medium in a tamper-evident format using minimal resources necessary to verify the validity of the digital prescription file and its issuer. The digital prescription file may be delivered to the dialysis machine using a network cloud-based connected health system.

A peritoneal dialysis system includes a cycler having a pumping actuator configured to move an incompressible fluid, a positive pressure actuator, and a control unit; and a disposable set including a chamber including an opening, and at least one plate (e.g., rigid plate) located within the chamber, wherein the control unit is programmed to cause (i) the pumping actuator to move the incompressible fluid to discharge fresh or used dialysis fluid from the chamber through the opening and (ii) the positive pressure actuator to expand the at least one plate to create negative pressure within the chamber to pull fresh or used dialysis fluid into the chamber through the opening.

A treatment device system includes a peritoneal dialysis treatment machine for performing a therapy on a patient, the treatment machine including at least one fluid conveyor and a controller, the controller having a first memory, to cause the at least one fluid conveyor to produce a peritoneal dialysis solution by mixing purified water and at least one concentrate. The system also includes a water purifier in fluid communication with and providing the purified water to the treatment machine. A wired or wireless control line provides two way communication between the controller of the treatment machine and the internal central controller of the water purifier, wherein the controller of the treatment machine transmits data via the control line to the internal central controller of the water purifier for control of the water purifier, the data provided based on at least one of the operator inputs received via the user interface.

Components for a medical infusion fluid handling system, such as an APD system, in which one or more lines (such as solution lines), spikes or other connection ports may be automatically capped and/or de-capped. This feature may provide advantages, such as a reduced likelihood of contamination since no human interaction is required to de-cap and connect the lines, spikes or other connections. For example, a fluid handling cassette may include one or more caps that cover a corresponding spike and include a raised and/or recessed feature to assist in removal of the cap from the cassette. A solution line cap may include a hole and recess, groove or other feature to engage with a spike cap and enable removal of the cap.

A peritoneal dialysis system includes first and second concentrate sources in selective fluid communication with a medical fluid pumping cassette, the first and second concentrate sources holding first and second peritoneal dialysis concentrates, respectively; a pump actuator configured to cause the medical fluid pumping cassette to pump the first and second concentrates; and a processor and memory configured to (i) determine a cumulative volume of at least one of the first or second peritoneal dialysis concentrates pumped from the medical fluid pumping cassette by the pump actuator, (ii) compare the cumulative volume to a threshold, and (iii) if the cumulative volume is outside of the threshold, modify a subsequent stroke volume of at least one of the first or second pump chambers actuated by the pump actuator in an attempt to cause an updated cumulative volume for the at least one peritoneal dialysis concentrate to be within the threshold.

An example peritoneal dialysis system is disclosed. The example peritoneal dialysis system includes at least one pump and a memory device configured to store therapy prescriptions including a low ultrafiltration (“UF”) therapy prescription, a first standard UF therapy prescription with a longer duration and a lower dextrose concentration, and a second standard UF therapy prescription with a shorter duration and a higher dextrose concentration. The memory device also stores a schedule indicative as to which of the therapy prescriptions are to be performed on specified dates. The system further includes a logic implementer configured to determine or identify a current date, use the schedule stored in the memory device to select the therapy prescription based on the current date, and control the at least one pump based on the selected therapy prescription to perform a peritoneal dialysis therapy.

A graphical user interface for a medical system comprises a display device, an electronic processor that operates with the display device to display a plurality of screens including a programming screen by which a user can enter or modify medical treatment parameters employed by a machine to perform a medical treatment. When a user modifies a first medical treatment parameter, the processor is programmed to adjust at least one other medical treatment parameters depending on the first medical treatment parameters.
