Abstract
A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system (10) including a PD machine (20); a patient line (50) extending from the PD machine (20); and a filter set (100) in fluid communication with the patient line (50), the filter set (100) including a filter body (110, 150, 190) housing first and second filter membranes (112a, 112b, such as a sterilizing grade or bacteria reduction filter membranes), the filter body (110, 150, 190) configured to be placed in different arrangements such that fresh PD fluid (i) flows through the first filter membrane (112a) and then through the second filter membrane (112b) or (ii) splits and flows through first and second filter membranes (112a, 112b) in parallel.
