PRIMING SYSTEM AND METHOD USING PUMPING AND GRAVITY

摘要

A dialysis system (10) includes a pump actuator; a disposable cassette having a pump chamber operable with the pump actuator; a patient line (38d) connected to the disposable cassette and in fluid communication with the pump chamber; and a logic implementor configured to prime the patient line according to a sequence in which (I) the pump actuator activates the pump chamber to partially prime the patient line and (ii) a remainder of the patient line is primed via gravity.
