1. A dialysis system, comprising:
- a housing;
a dialysate pump disposed above a cavity of the housing;
a slidable drawer defining a recess configured to receive the dialysate pump, the slidable drawer being at least partially disposed within the cavity in a manner such that when the slidable drawer is moved to a closed position within the cavity, a member of the slidable drawer is moved towards the dialysate pump positioned above the cavity;
a dialysate component carrier configured to be disposed adjacent the member of the slidable drawer; and
a dialysate line secured to the dialysate component carrier and extending across an aperture that is defined by the dialysate component carrier and that is configured to receive the dialysate pump, such that when the slidable drawer is moved to the closed position and the member of the slidable drawer is moved towards the dialysate pump, the dialysate pump is received in the aperture and moves the dialysate line into the recess of the slidable drawer such that the dialysate pump can pump dialysate through the dialysate line.
