1. A disposable fluid circuit for performing peritoneal dialysis, comprising:

  • a first manifold with a first plurality of ports and configured to distribute fluid flow between the ports of the first plurality;

    a second manifold with a second plurality of ports and configured to distribute fluid flow between the ports of the second plurality;

    a pumping tube configured to mate to a pump and fluidly connecting the first manifold to the second manifold;

    a peritoneal dialysis tubing set connected to the first plurality of ports and the second plurality of ports and includinga connection line with a first connector for a peritoneal catheter at a distal end of the connection line and a second connector configured to connect to a peritoneal cycler at a proximal end of the connection line;

    a pressure pod at the distal end of the connection line, the pressure pod having a flow chamber for carrying a liquid and an air chamber separated from the flow chamber by a diaphragm and an air-port in fluid communication with the air chamber, whereinthe flow chamber of the pressure pod is connected in-line with a lumen of the connection line anda length of tubing extends from the air-port along the connection line and has a third connector at a proximal end of the length of tubing configured to connect to a pressure transducer.
