Claim Text:
1. A hemodialysis system, comprising: a first module comprising a blood pump; a blood line operatively connected to the blood pump such that the blood pump can pump blood through the blood line when the blood line is in fluid communication with a blood source; a dialyzer fluidly connected to the blood line; a second module that is separate from the first module, the second module comprising: a dialysate line secured to a dialysate component carrier that is configured to be supported by the member of the slidable drawer, the dialysate line extending across an aperture that is defined by the dialysate component carrier and that is configured to receive the dialysate pump, such that when the slidable drawer is moved to the closed position and lifted up towards the dialysate pump, the dialysate pump is received in the aperture, and the rolling member of the dialysate pump deflects the dialysate line into the recess in the slidable drawer so that when the dialysate line is in fluid communication with a dialysate source and when the rolling member is rotated, the rolling member applies pressure to the dialysate line to pump dialysate through the dialysate line, the dialysate line being fluidly connected to the dialyzer.
