Abstract
There is provided a flow system of a dialysis device including a dialysate conduit which is capable of being in fluid communication with the peritoneal cavity of a patient'"'"'s body and of being in fluid communication with a flow path, the flow path allowing dialysate to flow from a patient'"'"'s body to a sorbent capable of removing contaminants within the dialysate in an outflow mode and in an inflow mode returning the dialysate substantially free of contaminants to the patient'"'"'s body. The device also includes a pump for moving the dialysate along the flow path in both the outflow mode and inflow mode and a plurality of valves disposed along the flow path. There is also provided a portable dialysis device.

69. A flow system of a dialysis device comprising:
-
a dialysate conduit which is capable of being in fluid communication with the peritoneal cavity of a patient'"'"'s body and of being in fluid communication with a flow path, said flow path allowing dialysate to flow from a patient'"'"'s body to a sorbent capable of removing contaminants within said dialysate in an outflow mode and in an inflow mode returning said dialysate substantially free of contaminants to said patient'"'"'s body; a pump for moving said dialysate along said flow path in both the outflow mode and inflow mode; a plurality of valves disposed along said flow path and being configured to, in the outflow mode, allow said dialysate to flow from said dialysate conduit to said sorbent for removal of contaminants therein, and in the inflow mode, allow dialysate substantially free of said contaminants to flow back to said dialysate conduit for transmission to said patient'"'"'s body; and a storage chamber in fluid communication with said flow path, said storage module configured to store dialysate that is substantially free of contaminants which have been removed by said sorbent. - View Dependent Claims (70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94)

95. A portable dialysis device comprising:
-
a housing having means for attachment to a patient'"'"'s body, the housing comprising; a dialysate conduit which is capable of being in fluid communication with the peritoneal cavity of a patient'"'"'s body and of being in fluid communication with a flow path, said flow path allowing dialysate to flow from a patient'"'"'s body to a sorbent capable of removing contaminants within said dialysate in an outflow mode and in an inflow mode returning said dialysate substantially free of contaminants to said patient'"'"'s body; a pump for moving said dialysate along said flow path in both the outflow mode and inflow mode; a plurality of valves disposed along said flow path and being configured to, in the outflow mode, allow said dialysate to flow from said dialysate conduit to said sorbent for removal of contaminants therein, and in the inflow mode, allow dialysate substantially free of said contaminants to flow back to said dialysate conduit for transmission to said patient'"'"'s body; and a storage chamber in fluid communication with said flow path, said storage module configured to store dialysate that is substantially free of contaminants which have been removed by said sorbent. - View Dependent Claims (96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122)
