More Information
Summary:A peritoneal dialysis ("PD") system (10) includes a PD machine (20); a patient line (50) extending from the PD machine (20); and a filter set (100) in fluid communication with the patient line (50), the filter set (100) including a filter membrane (120, e.g., a sterilizing grade filter membrane or a bacteria reduction filter membrane) positioned and arranged such that fresh PD fluid flows through the filter membrane (120) into a filtered fluid compartment (106f), wherein the filtered fluid compartment (106f) includes an outlet (106o) to a port (106p), and wherein the port (106p) is in fluid communication with a circumferential used PD fluid channel (106c) positioned and arranged to carry used PD fluid around the filter membrane (120) without contacting the filter membrane (120). A method for priming filter set (100) is also disclosed.
