Bicarbonate and glucose solution containers and methods of mixing fluid therefrom in a peritoneal dialysis machine

A peritoneal dialysis (PD) machine, comprising:

• at least one pump mechanism configured to be coupled to a patient line;
• at least one processor coupled to a memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the PD machine to:
• draw a first volume of dextrose solution from a first bag or container configured to hold the dextrose solution, wherein the dextrose solution has a first concentration of dextrose;
• draw a second volume of bicarbonate solution drawn from a second bag or container configured to hold the bicarbonate solution, wherein the bicarbonate solution has a second concentration of bicarbonate, wherein the first bag or container is separate from the second bag or container;
• and
• mix the first volume of the dextrose solution and the second volume of the bicarbonate solution to produce a dialysate solution having a target concentration of dextrose and bicarbonate.

A system for peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment, the system comprising:

• a first bag or container configured to hold a dextrose solution having a first concentration of dextrose;
• a second bag or container configured to hold a bicarbonate solution having a second concentration of bicarbonate, wherein the first bag or container is separate from the second bag or container;
• and
• a PD machine configured to:
• mix a first volume of the dextrose solution drawn from the first bag or container with a second volume of bicarbonate solution drawn from the second bag or container to produce a dialysate solution having a target concentration of dextrose and bicarbonate.
