Abstract:
1. A system for performing a peritoneal dialysis therapy comprising: at least one dialysis fluid pump; and a control unit operable with the at least one dialysis fluid pump to perform a plurality of peritoneal dialysis cycles, the cycles including a fill phase, a dwell phase and a drain phase, the control unit configured, upon a user selection to perform a continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (“CCPD”) therapy, to: (i) avoid a maximum peritoneal volume being exceeded after any of the dwell phases of the plurality of patient cycles, (ii) ensure that a prescribed total sum of dialysis fluid volume of the fill phases is delivered to the patient, and (iii) determine if (1) a residual volume left in the patient after one of the drain phases based on a minimum drain percentage will cause the maximum peritoneal volume in (i) to be exceeded during a next cycle, and if the determination in (1) is yes, determine if (2) a threshold minimum drain percentage after the one of the drain phases cannot be achieved,
