Abstract

A dry peritoneal dialysis (PD) concentrate system may be used in connection with a PD cycler. The dry PD concentrate system includes a concentrate container with at least two concentrate compartments, and at least one of the compartments contains a dry PD concentrate component. At least one of the concentrate compartments has a medical fluid outlet, and at least one of the concentrate compartments has a diluent inlet.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A dry peritoneal dialysis (PD) concentrate system, comprising:
a dry PD concentrate container including a first concentrate compartment and a second concentrate compartment, wherein the first concentrate compartment has a diluent inlet, wherein the second concentrate compartment has a medical fluid outlet, and wherein at least one of the first and second concentrate compartments contains a dry PD concentrate component;
a first fluid container for collecting a prepared dialysis solution, the first fluid container being fluidly connected to a medical fluid removal line;
a fluid transfer line fluidly connecting the medical fluid outlet of the concentrate container and the first fluid container; and
a second fluid container for collecting a consumed dialysis solution connected to a consumed medical fluid line, wherein the first fluid container is located within the second fluid container.

2. The dry PD concentrate system of claim 1 , wherein the first concentrate compartment and the second concentrate compartment are separated from each other by a barrier.

3. The dry PD concentrate system of claim 1 , wherein the concentrate container includes a third concentrate compartment that is separated from the second concentrate compartment by a barrier.

4. The dry PD concentrate system of claim 1 , wherein at least two different concentrate components are provided in different ones of the concentrate compartments.

5. The dry PD concentrate system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first fluid container or the second fluid container is flexible and/or the concentrate container is rigid.

6. The dry PD concentrate system of claim 1 , wherein the system is adapted to be a mobile system.

7. The dry PD concentrate system of claim 6 , further comprising a transport device for enabling mobility of the mobile system.

8. The dry PD concentrate system of claim 1 , wherein the system is adapted to be a modular system.

9. The dry PD concentrate system of claim 8 , wherein at least two elements chosen from the concentrate container, the first fluid container, the second fluid container are modular components of the system.

10. The dry PD concentrate system of claim 1 , wherein the first concentrate compartment contains a first dry PD concentrate component, and wherein the second concentrate compartment contains a second dry PD concentrate component.

11. The dry PD concentrate system of claim 10 , wherein the first concentrate compartment and the second concentrate compartments are adapted to avoid mixing of the first dry PD concentrate component and the second dry PD concentrate component until a diluent is added via the diluent inlet.

12. A peritoneal dialysis (PD) system, comprising:
a PD cycler; and
a dry PD concentrate system connected to the PD cycler, the dry PD concentrate system comprising:
a dry PD concentrate container including a first concentrate compartment and a second concentrate compartment, wherein the first concentrate compartment has a diluent inlet, wherein the second concentrate compartment has a medical fluid outlet, and wherein at least one of the first and second concentrate compartments contains a dry PD concentrate component;
a first fluid container for collecting a prepared dialysis solution, the first fluid container being fluidly connected to a medical fluid removal line;
a fluid transfer line fluidly connecting the medical fluid outlet of the concentrate container and the first fluid container; and
a second fluid container for collecting a consumed dialysis solution connected to a consumed medical fluid line, wherein the first fluid container is located within the second fluid container.

13. The PD system of claim 12 , wherein the first concentrate compartment and the second concentrate compartment are separated from each other by a barrier.

14. The PD system of claim 12 , wherein the concentrate container includes a third concentrate compartment that is separated from the second concentrate compartment by a barrier.

15. The PD system of claim 12 , wherein at least two different concentrate components are provided in different ones of the concentrate compartments.

16. The PD system of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first fluid container or the second fluid container is flexible and/or the concentrate container is rigid.

17. The PD system of claim 12 , wherein the PD system is adapted to be a mobile system.

18. The PD system of claim 17 , further comprising a transport device for enabling mobility of the mobile system.

19. The PD system of claim 12 , wherein the PD system is adapted to be a modular system.

20. The PD system of claim 19 , wherein at least two elements chosen from the concentrate container, the first fluid container, the second fluid container are modular components of the system.

21. The PD system of claim 12 , wherein the first concentrate compartment contains a first dry PD concentrate component and wherein the second concentrate compartment contains a second dry PD concentrate component.

22. The PD system of claim 21 , wherein the first concentrate compartment and the second concentrate compartments are adapted to avoid mixing of the first dry PD concentrate component and the second dry PD concentrate component until a diluent is added via the diluent inlet.
