    摘要: A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system includes a PD fluid pump; a patient line for receiving used PD fluid pumped by the PD fluid pump during a patient drain; a pressure sensor positioned and arranged to sense a negative pressure associated with the PD fluid pumped during the patient drain; and a control unit configured to (i) determine or know a flowrate of the PD fluid pumped during the patient drain, (ii) determine an applied negative pressure at which the PD fluid pump is to pump the PD fluid during the patient drain, the applied pressure based on a pressure drop corresponding to the determined or known flowrate, and (iii) use sensed negative pressure from the pressure sensor to cause the PD fluid pump to pump the PD fluid during the patient drain at the applied negative pressure.

    摘要: An inline heating system including an inline heater including a heater element; a control unit configured to cause one of voltage or current to be applied to power the inline heater; and a current or voltage meter positioned and arranged to measure the other of current or voltage at the heater element due to the applied voltage or current, wherein the control unit is further configured to determine a heater element resistance using the applied voltage or current and the measured current or voltage as part of a no flow or low flow condition detection algorithm implemented by the control unit, wherein the voltage or current applied to power the inline heater is stopped if the no flow or low flow condition is detected.

    摘要: A dialysis system having motor driven pressure estimation of fluid within a patient line is disclosed. A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system includes a fluid pump and a patient line that fluidly couples the fluid pump to an indwelling catheter leading into a patient's peritoneal cavity. The PD system also includes a motor driver that controls a motor of the fluid pump and transmits an output signal that is indicative of a load on the motor. The PD system further includes a machine learning algorithm that associates data related to output signals from motor drivers with known fluid pressures within patient lines. A processor of the PD system transmits an input signal to activate the motor driver, receives the output signal from the motor driver, and estimates a fluid pressure within the patient line by applying the data from the received output signal to the machine learning algorithm.
