A dialysis machine comprising: a spring loaded pressure plate positioned on an interior face of the door; a housing with a panel wherein the housing and panel define a recessed region configured to receive the interior face of the door; and an alignment mechanism fixedly attached to the panel. The alignment mechanism detachably receives a manifold on the panel and positions the manifold against the spring loaded pressure plate when the door is placed in the recessed region such that the manifold becomes captured between the door and the panel. The alignment mechanism and the spring loaded pressure plate provide a mounting force in a range of 10 - 100 PSI. Une machine de dialyse comprend : une plaque de pression à ressort placée sur une face intérieure de la porte; un logement comportant un panneau, les deux définissant une région diminuée configurée pour recevoir la face intérieure de la porte; un mécanisme dalignement attaché au panneau de manière fixe. Le mécanisme dalignement reçoit de manière détachable un manifold sur le panneau et positionne ce manifold contre la plaque de pression à ressort lorsque la porte est placée dans la région diminuée, de sorte que le manifold reste immobile entre la porte et le panneau. Le mécanisme dalignement et la plaque de pression à ressort offrent un effort de montage de 10 à 100 psi.
