In another switching position, the inlet is connected to a plurality of the outlets. The inlet of the valve device is in fluid communication with a first flow path and the outlets are in fluid communication with another flow path. Disinfecting liquid can simultaneously be supplied to the individual flow paths.

An indirect drain flush system incorporating hot water to facilitate the transport of kidney dialysis effluent to wastewater treatment facilities is provided. Heated water is discharged into a waste line through an air gap, and the heated water increases the molecular interchange of fatty substances in the dialysis effluent, decreasing the viscosity of those fatty substances and preventing them from coagulating or crystalizing on pipes and drains. An air admittance valve may prevent negative pressure from building up within the system.

Systems and methods of generating peritoneal dialysate are provided. The systems and methods use a water purification module, a sterilization module and concentrates to prepare a bolus of peritoneal dialysate from source water for use with an non-integrated cycler.

A peritoneal dialysis system includes (i) a fill container, and (ii) an energizing unit that removably accepts the fill container, the energizing unit including a sterilization source so configured and arranged relative to the fill container when accepted by the energizing unit to place fluid within the fill container in a physiologically safe condition for delivery to the peritoneal cavity of a patient.

A system is provided for operation with a facility providing peritoneal dialysis exchanges for multiple peritoneal dialysis patients. The system can include a peritoneal dialysis solution supply, peritoneal dialysis sets to deliver peritoneal dialysis solution to the peritoneal dialysis patients at the facility, a computer, and a treatment station. The computer can electronically read a prescription for a patient, electronically identify a quantity of the peritoneal dialysis solution from the prescription, and electronically identify a peritoneal dialysis set from the peritoneal dialysis sets for use with the identified quantity of the peritoneal dialysis solution. The treatment station can allow an identified peritoneal dialysis set to be fluidly connected to the peritoneal dialysis solution supply so that the identified quantity of the peritoneal dialysis solution may be metered from the dialysis solution supply to the patient to perform a peritoneal dialysis treatment at the facility and according to the prescription.

The apparatus (1) for manufacturing dialysate includes a reverse osmosis membrane treatment device (9), a dialysate supply device (26), a dialysis device (40) supplied with the dialysate (27) from the dialysate supply device (26), and a hydrogen dissolution device (6) interposed between the dialysate supply device (26) and the dialysis device (40) and configured to dissolve hydrogen gas in the dialysate (27). The hydrogen dissolution device (6) includes an air supply module (7) connected to the dialysate supply device (26) and configured to dissolve hydrogen gas in the dialysate (27), and a hydrogen supply device (8) connected to the air supply module (7) and configured to supply hydrogen gas to the air supply module (7).
