Claims26
A peritoneal dialysis system comprising:
- a reusable fill container;
- a reusable drain container;
- and
- a reusable continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (“CAPD”) set configured and arranged to be fluidly connected to at least one of the reusable fill container or the reusable drain container,
- wherein the reusable fill container and the reusable drain container are configured to be connected directly together via first and second mating connectors with the reusable fill container located on an outside of the reusable drain container to form a single unit for manual transportation, wherein at least one of the first and second mating connectors includes a protrusion,
- wherein the reusable CAPD set is configured to be carried by the single unit during manual transportation,
- wherein the reusable fill container and the reusable drain container are configured to be (i) separated by detaching the first and second mating connectors, and (ii) reconfigured as the single unit by reattaching the first and second mating connectors, and
- wherein the reusable fill container is provided with dialysis solution or concentrate before or after separation from the reusable drain container.

A peritoneal dialysis system comprising:
- a reusable fill container;
- and
- a reusable drain container, wherein the reusable fill container and the reusable drain container are configured to be mated directly together via first and second mating connectors with the reusable fill container located on an outside of the reusable drain container to form a single unit for manual transportation, wherein at least one of the first and second mating connectors includes a protrusion,
- wherein the reusable fill container and the reusable drain container are configured to be (i) separated by detaching the first and second mating connectors, and (ii) reconfigured as the single unit by reattaching the first and second mating connectors, and
- wherein the reusable fill container is provided with dialysis solution or concentrate before or after separation from the reusable drain container.

A peritoneal dialysis method comprising:
- providing a reusable fill container, a reusable drain container, and a reusable continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (“CAPD”) set to a patient, the reusable fill container and reusable drain container connected directly together via first and second mating connectors with the reusable fill container located on an outside of the reusable drain container to form a single unit for manual transportation, wherein at least one of the first and second mating connectors includes a protrusion, and wherein the reusable fill container and the reusable drain container are configured to be (i) separated by detaching the first and second mating connectors, and (ii) reconfigured as the single unit by reattaching the first and second mating connectors;
- enabling the patient to perform a CAPD treatment using the fill container, drain container, and CAPD set;
- receiving the fill container, drain container, and CAPD set back from the patient after the CAPD treatment;
- and
- refurbishing the fill container, drain container, and CAPD set for use with a subsequent CAPD treatment.
