1. A priming process for priming a manifold within a dialysis machine for use in a dialysis treatment, comprising the steps of:

  • a. Inserting said manifold into the dialysis machine, wherein said manifold comprises a substrate defining a first circuit and a second circuit and a compressible valve structure in fluid communication with each of said first and second circuits, wherein said valve structure has a first state and a second state and wherein, when in said first state, fluid from the first circuit cannot enter into the second circuit and when in said second state, fluid from the first circuit can enter into the second circuit;

    b. Placing said valve in said second state by removing pressure from said compressible valve structure;

    c. Pumping fluid through said first and second circuits;

    d. Placing said valve in said first state by applying pressure to said compressible valve structure; and

    e. Removing fluid from said second circuit.
