Abstract

See full text

Peritoneal dialysis systems and methods move liquid using a pump chamber that is operated in response to pneumatic pressure variations applied by a pump actuator. The systems and methods periodically measure air pressures in the actuator and an associated reference air chamber and derive from these a measurement of liquid volume moved through the pump chamber. The systems and methods minimize derivation errors by compensating for temperature differences among the pump chamber; the pump actuator; and the reference chamber.
