Zusammenfassung:	A system (10) for performing a peritoneal dialysis therapy is described. The system comprises at least one dialysis fluid pump (14, 60) and a logic implementer that includes a central processing unit ("CPU") and a pump controller operable with the CPU. The pump controller is operable with the at least one dialysis fluid pump (14, 60) to perform a plurality of peritoneal dialysis cycles that include a fill phase, a dwell phase and a drain phase. The logic implementer is configured to (i) store a continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis ("CCPD") therapy having a total prescribed fresh dialysate fill volume delivered over n cycles during a total therapy duration; and (ii) during the CCPD therapy after at least some dialysis fluid has been pumped by the at least one dialysis fluid pump (14, 60), convert the CCPD therapy into a tidal peritoneal dialysis therapy having at least n+1 cycles and using the total prescribed fresh dialysate fill volume.
