A method for aligning a disposable cassette (150) within a peritoneal dialysis machine (100) comprising the steps of: loading the disposable cassette (150) within the peritoneal dialysis machine; actuating a pump head (36) toward the disposable cassette; contacting a pumping chamber (168,172,174) of the disposable cassette with the pump head; using the pump head to shift the disposable cassette if need be into proper operational alignment with the pump head; and inflating a bladder (182) to lock the properly aligned disposable cassette in place. |
