Abstract

Graphical user interfaces for use with extracorporeal blood treatment systems may include a plurality of displayable settings cards. The plurality of settings cards may be grouped or arranged into a card set and a plurality of card subsets. Each of the card set and the plurality of card subsets may be displayable as a stack of settings cards with at least one settings card presented at the forefront of the stack to a user. Further, each settings card of the plurality of settings cards may also be displayed by itself.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An extracorporeal blood treatment system comprising:
extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus comprising one or more pumps, one or more sensors, and one or more disposable elements for use in performing an extracorporeal blood treatment;
a display apparatus comprising a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to depict a plurality of settings cards; and
a computing apparatus comprising one or more processors and operatively coupled to the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus and the display apparatus, wherein the computing apparatus is configured to:
provide a plurality of settings cards defining a card set using the one or more processors, wherein each settings card of the plurality of settings cards is configured to display real time extracorporeal blood treatment data and one or more settings related to one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus, wherein the plurality of settings cards comprises a multi-settings card configured to display real time extracorporeal blood treatment data and a plurality of settings related to one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus, wherein the plurality of settings cards comprises a single settings card configured to display real time extracorporeal blood treatment data and a single setting related to one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus, wherein the settings cards are grouped into a plurality of card subsets, wherein each card subset comprises a plurality of settings cards that is less settings cards than the card set,
display on the graphical user interface an all-settings graphical element and a plurality of card subset graphical elements using the one or more processors, wherein the all-settings graphical element is associated with the display of the card set, and wherein each card subset graphical element of the plurality of subset graphical elements is associated with the display of a different card subset of the plurality of card subsets,
receive input from a user selecting the all-settings graphical element,
display a stack of the plurality of settings cards of the card set in response to selection of the all-settings graphical element, wherein at least one settings card of the stack of the plurality of settings cards of the card set is presented at the forefront of the stack to the user while the remaining settings cards are obscured by the at least one settings card at the forefront such that only edges of the remaining settings cards are displayed,
receive input from a user selecting one of the plurality of subset graphical elements,
display a stack of the plurality of settings cards of the card subset associated with the selected card subset graphical element in response to selection thereof, wherein at least one settings card of the stack of the plurality of settings cards of the selected card subset is presented at the forefront of the stack to the user while the remaining settings cards are obscured by the at least one settings card at the forefront such that only edges of the remaining settings cards are displayed,
present the multi-settings card displaying real time extracorporeal blood treatment data and the plurality of settings related to one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus at the forefront of the stack,
receive input from the user using the one or more settings of the presented multi-settings card to modify one or more settings of the plurality of settings of the multi-settings card related to one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus,
present the single settings card displaying real time extracorporeal blood treatment data and the single setting related to one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus at the forefront of the stack,
receive input from the user using the one or more settings of the presented single settings card to modify one or more settings of the single setting of the single settings card related to one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus,
change one or more settings of the one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus using the one or more processors in response to the received input from the user modifying one or more settings of the presented multi-settings card and the presented single settings card, and
perform an extracorporeal blood treatment using the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus based on the changed one or more settings.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to:
display on the graphical user interface a plurality of process feature graphical elements, wherein each process feature graphical element of the plurality of process feature graphical elements corresponds with a different process feature of the one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus and is associated with the display of a single settings card of the plurality of settings cards;
receive input from a user selecting a process feature graphical element of the plurality of process feature graphical elements to display the single settings card associated with the selected process feature graphical element;
display the single settings card associated with the selected process feature graphical element in response to selection thereof;
receive input from the user using the one or more settings of the displayed single settings card to modify one or more settings related to one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus; and
changing one or more settings of the one or more processes of the extracorporeal blood treatment system performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus in response to the received input from the user modifying one or more settings of the displayed single settings card.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the stack of settings cards are graphically displayed as a three-dimensional deck of settings cards.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to change the one or more settings cards presented at the forefront of the stack in response to user interaction with the graphical user interface.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to change the order of the plurality of settings cards when displayed in a stack in response to user interaction with the graphical user interface.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to configure which settings cards of the plurality of settings cards are grouped into the plurality of card subsets in response to user interaction with the graphical user interface.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein each card subset of the plurality of card subsets is associated with a different chronological phase of a treatment process performable by the extracorporeal blood treatment system.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of card subsets comprises a preparation card subset, wherein the preparation card subset comprises a treatment mode settings card, a setup settings card, and a prim
