Abstract

A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system includes a patient line connector having a patient line recirculation cap to enable PD fluid to be recirculated through the patient line connector when sealingly capped by the patient line recirculation cap. The PD system also includes a drain line connector having a drain line recirculation cap enabling PD fluid to be recirculated through the drain line connector when sealingly capped by the drain line recirculation cap. The PD system further includes a dialysis fluid inline heater in fluid communication with a PD fluid side of at least one fixed volume chamber and a control unit configured to run a heat cleaning sequence after a PD treatment. For the heat cleaning sequence, the patient line connector is capped by the patient line recirculation cap and the drain line connector is capped by the drain line recirculation cap.
