    摘要: A method is provided for regulating fluid pump pressures by detecting an elevation differential between a fluid flow control device and the distal end of a fluid line in communication with the fluid flow control device. A fluid flow control device, for instance a peritoneal dialysis device, is at a first height, a distal end of a fluid line is at a second height, and a valved outlet, when open, affords communication between the fluid flow control device and the distal end of the fluid line. The elevation differential is correlatable with a pressure measurable during a calibration procedure provided as a part of the methodology.

    摘要: An apparatus, method, and computer program product for detection of fluid leakage through a membrane in a fluid flow control system. The fluid flow control system has a first chamber and a second chamber. A membrane is disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber. The second chamber has a connection to a pressure tank, the pressure tank has a fluid with a pressure, and the connection defines a fluid path. The method indudes in a first step, blocking the fluid path. The pressure of the fluid in the pressure tank is then adjusted. The pressure is measured in the pressure tank which creates a pressure measurement at each of a first set of multiple timed intervals while the fluid path is blocked and after the pressure is adjusted. A blocked pressure rate is calculated based on the pressure measurements in the pressure tank at the first set of multiple timed intervals. Next, the fluid path is unblocked. The pressure is measured within the pressure tank creating a pressure measurement at each of a second set of multiple timed intervals after the fluid path is unblocked. Then, an unblocked pressure rate is calculated based on the pressure measurements in the pressure tank at the second set of multiple timed intervals. Finally a leakage rate is calculated based on the blocked pressure rate and the unblocked pressure rate. An alarm is caused when the leakage rate becomes greater than a predetermined threshold value.
