| 20100010423 | DIALYSIS SYSTEM HAVING FILTERING METHOD FOR DETERMINING THERAPY PRESCRIPTIONS - A peritoneal dialysis system includes a logic implementer configured to: (i) generate a number of peritoneal dialysis therapy regimens that meet at least one therapy target input; (ii) accept a filter input; and (iii) filter the generated therapy regimens according to the filter input to refine the number of therapy regimens available for selection. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100010424 | DIALYSIS SYSTEM HAVING REGIMEN GENERATION METHODOLOGY - A peritoneal dialysis system includes a logic implementer configured to: (i) accept at least one therapy target input; (ii) accept at least one patient transport characteristic input; (iii) accept at least one solution input; (iv) accept at least one fluid volume input; (v) accept at least one therapy time input, at least one of the inputs (ii) to (v) including an input range; and (vi) generate each therapy regimen using the inputs of (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), including each of the possibilities within the at least one input range, that satisfy the at least one therapy target input. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100010425 | PERITONEAL EQUILIBRATION TEST AND DIALYSIS SYSTEM USING SAME - An ultrafiltration (“UF”) evaluation method includes: (i) determining an amount of UF removed from a patient over a first dwell time; (ii) determine an amount of UF removed from the patient over a second, different dwell time; (iii) determining an amount of UF removed from the patient over a third, different dwell time; and (iv) fitting a curve to the UF removal amounts for the first, second and third dwell time. A peritoneal dialysis therapy generation method using the curve determined according to the “UF” evaluation method to generate at least one peritoneal dialysis therapy regimen. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100010426 | DIALYSIS SYSTEM HAVING INVENTORY MANAGEMENT INCLUDING ONLINE DEXTROSE MIXING - A peritoneal dialysis system includes: a plurality of automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machines; and a server computer in communication with the APD machines, the APD machines programmed to inform the server computer of how much dialysate is consumed over a first delivery period, the server computer configured to use the amounts consumed to determine dialysate delivery amounts for the plurality of APD machines for a second delivery period. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100010427 | DIALYSIS SYSTEM HAVING TRENDING AND ALERT GENERATION - A peritoneal dialysis system includes: an automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine configured to remove ultrafiltrate (“UF”) from a patient and record how much UF has been removed; and a logic implementer configured to (i) form a first moving average UF removed trend, (ii) determine a trending range around the first moving average UF removed trend, (iii) determine at least one of an upper and lower UF removed limit from the trending range, (iv) form a second moving average UF removed trend, and (v) alert if the second moving average UF removed trend moves outside of the at least one UF removed limit. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100010428 | DIALYSIS SYSTEM AND MACHINE HAVING THERAPY PRESCRIPTION RECALL - In one embodiment an automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine includes: at least one pump; a logic implementer storing a plurality of therapy prescriptions by which to operate the at least one pump, each therapy prescription pre-approved for a particular patient; and an input device operating with the logic implementer to allow the patient to select one of the therapy prescriptions for a particular therapy. In another embodiment, the input device operating with the logic implementer allows a doctor/clinician to select or approve one of the therapy prescriptions to be run on the APD machine. In a further embodiment, the logic implementer is programmed to select or suggest one of the therapy prescriptions to be run on the is APD machine. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100298662 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED DATA COLLECTION OF TWENTY-FOUR HOUR ULTRAFILTRATION AND OTHER PATIENT PARAMETERS USING WIRED OR WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY - A dialysis system includes: a dialysis machine for performing a first dialysis session on a patient at a first time of a day; a remote exchange device for performing a second dialysis session on the patient at a second time of the day, the remote exchange device configured to record an amount of ultrafiltration (“UF”) that is removed from the patient over the second dialysis session; and a communication link between the dialysis machine and the remote exchange device, wherein the dialysis machine is configured to receive the recorded amount UF removed from the remote exchange device via the communication link and determine a total amount of UF removed from the patient over the first and second sessions. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20120022442 | DIALYSIS SYSTEM AND MACHINE HAVING THERAPY PRESCRIPTION RECALL - In an embodiment, an automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine includes at least one pump, a logic implementer storing a plurality of therapy prescriptions by which to operate the at least one pump, each therapy prescription pre-approved for a particular patient, and an input device operating with the logic implementer to allow the patient to select one of the therapy prescriptions for a particular therapy. In another embodiment, the input device operating with the logic implementer allows a doctor/clinician to select or approve one of the therapy prescriptions to be run on the APD machine. In a further embodiment, the logic implementer is programmed to select or suggest one of the therapy prescriptions to be run on the APD machine. | 01-26-2012 |
