1. A renal insufficiency treatment system comprising:
a renal insufficiency treatment apparatus comprising a plurality of container supports;
a plurality of solution containers configured to be supported by the plurality of container supports, wherein each solution container comprises a machine readable solution indicator configured to identify solution in the solution container;
a plurality of machine readable support indicators, wherein each machine readable support indicator of the plurality of machine readable support indicators is associated with and configured to identify one container support of the plurality of container supports;
a sensor configured to read the machine readable solution indicators on solution containers and the machine readable support indicators;
a computing apparatus comprising one or more processors, the computing apparatus operably coupled to the renal insufficiency treatment apparatus and the sensor, wherein the computing apparatus is configured to:
receive one or more signals from the sensor;
identify a container support of the plurality of container supports based on a support signal received by the computing apparatus from the sensor in response to reading the machine readable support indicator associated with the container support;
identify solution in a solution container of the plurality of solution containers based on a solution signal received from the sensor in response to reading the machine readable solution indicator associated with the solution container, the solution signal being received by the computing apparatus;
associate the identified solution with the identified container support;
verify, based at least in part on the association between the identified solution and the identified container support, that the identified solution in the solution container associated with the identified container support is compatible with a selected treatment to be performed by the renal insufficiency treatment system; and
activate an alert apparatus if the identified solution in the solution container associated with the identified container support is not compatible with the selected treatment.
