  • a) providing a volume of peritoneal dialysis solution;

    b) pumping the peritoneal dialysis solution into the peritoneal cavity of the patient through an access port, allowing the patient'"'"'s uremic waste metabolites to diffuse across the peritoneal membrane into the peritoneal dialysis solution;

    c) pumping the peritoneal dialysis solution containing uremic waste metabolites out of the patient and into the device;

    d) filtering particulates and debris from the peritoneal dialysis solution containing uremic waste metabolites;

    e) regenerating the peritoneal dialysis solution containing uremic waste metabolites;

    f) returning the regenerated peritoneal dialysis solution to the patient'"'"'s peritoneal cavity; and
