PERITONEAL DIALYSIS MACHINE WITH DUAL VOLTAGE HEATER CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF OPERATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heater circuit for a portable peritoneal dialysis machine which can be adjusted to various power supply voltages in the world.

SOLUTION: A portable peritoneal dialysis system having a dual voltage heating system that automatically reconfigures the heating circuit depending upon detection of either 110 VAC or 220 VAC to deliver the same wattage for heating peritoneal dialysis solution before delivery to the patient, thus facilitating the use of the same machine in the United States and Europe. It is desirable to use as a heating element a resistant heating coil electrically interconnected.
