Dialysis system having low volume peritoneal dialysis patient fill temperature control

A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system comprising:

• a housing;
• a PD fluid pump housed by the housing;
• a dual lumen patient line extending from the housing, the dual lumen patient line including a fresh PD fluid lumen and a used PD fluid lumen;
• a valve provided with a patient's transfer set, the valve positioned such that when closed, PD fluid is forced from the fresh PD fluid lumen into the used PD fluid lumen;
• and
• a control unit configured to control the PD fluid pump, the control unit further configured after a patient drain to:
• (i) prompt a patient or caregiver to close the valve when the valve is a manual valve, or
• (ii) cause the valve to close automatically when the valve is an electrically or pneumatically controlled valve,
• wherein the control unit is further configured after the closing of the valve to cause the PD fluid pump to pump fresh, heated PD fluid into the fresh PD fluid lumen to displace unheated PD fluid from the fresh PD fluid lumen into the used PD fluid lumen.

A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system comprising:

• a housing;
• a PD fluid pump housed by the housing;
• a patient line extending from the housing;
• a filter set in fluid communication with the patient line;
• a valve provided either with a patient's transfer set or with the filter set, the valve positioned such that when closed, PD fluid is removed from the patient line;
• and
• a control unit configured to control the PD fluid pump, the control unit further configured after a patient drain to:
• (i) prompt a patient or caregiver to close the valve when the valve is a manual valve, or
• (ii) cause the valve to close automatically when the valve is an electrically or pneumatically controlled valve,
• wherein the control unit is further configured after the closing of the valve to cause the PD fluid pump to pump fresh, heated PD fluid into the patient line.
