Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system and method provide information in response to at least one current event related to a treatment performed by a dialysis system. A first number is displayed at a treatment display in communication with the dialysis system. The first number corresponds to a set of current notifications. Each current notification is generated in response to at least one current event related to the treatment. A new event is detected that is related to the treatment. The first number is increased to a second number in response to detecting the new event. The second number corresponds to a new notification generated in response to the new event and corresponds to the set of current notifications. A highest priority event is determined between the new event and the at least one current event. The treatment display displays at least one notification corresponding to the highest priority event.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method of performing dialysis and displaying information in response to at least one event related to a treatment performed by a dialysis system, comprising: providing a dialysis system comprising a dialysis machine and an extracorporeal circuit for removing blood from a patient, at least one of filtering and dialyzing of the blood, and returning cleaned blood to the patient, while monitoring safety-critical parameters within the circ…
