Dialysis system including wireless patient data
First Claim
1. A dialysis system comprising:
- a dialysis machine configured toperform a prescribed dialysis treatment on a patient,generate ultrafiltration (“
UF”
) removed data over the prescribed dialysis treatment performed by the dialysis machine, andtransmit the UF removed data; and
a receiver coded with at least one of an address or a personal identification number (“
PIN”
), the receiver configured to receive at least one of blood pressure data from a blood pressure monitor or patient weight data from a weight scale wirelessly over a frequency, data rate, or communication protocol, the at least one of the blood pressure monitor or the weight scale located external to the dialysis machine,wherein the at least one coded address or PIN is used by the at least one of the blood pressure monitor or the weight scale and is provided with the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data sent to the receiver,wherein the receiver is configured to compare the at least one coded address or PIN to the address or PIN provided with the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data to ensure that the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data is received and processed by the receiver as opposed to extraneous data received over the same frequency, data rate, or communication protocol from unwanted sources, including devices in proximity of the dialysis machine, as a result of the extraneous data from the unwanted sources not having the at least one coded address or PIN, andwherein the UF removed data and at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data is transmitted via a network located external to the dialysis machine.

Abstract
An example dialysis system includes a dialysis machine and a receiver coded with at least one of an address or a personal identification number (“PIN”). The dialysis machine is configured to perform a prescribed dialysis treatment on a patient, generate ultrafiltration (“UF”) removed data over the prescribed dialysis treatment performed by the dialysis machine, and transmit the UF removed data. The example receiver is configured to receive at least one of blood pressure data from a blood pressure monitor or patient weight data from a weight scale. The at least one coded address or PIN ensures that the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data is received by the receiver as opposed to another receiver.

10. A dialysis system comprising:
-
at least one of a blood pressure monitor configured to transmit blood pressure data or a weight scale configured to transmit patient weight data; and a dialysis machine coded with at least one of an address or a personal identification number (“
PIN”
) and in communication with the at least one of the blood pressure monitor or the weight scale, the dialysis machine configured toperform a dialysis treatment on a patient, receive the at least one of the blood pressure data from the blood pressure monitor or the patient weight data from the weight scale over a frequency, data rate, or communication protocol, generate ultrafiltration (“
UF”
) removed data over the dialysis treatment, andsend the UF removed data and the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data to a processor that is communicatively coupled to the dialysis machine, the processor located external to the dialysis machine, wherein the at least one coded address or PIN is used by the at least one of the blood pressure monitor or the weight scale and is provided with the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data sent to the dialysis machine, wherein the dialysis machine is configured to compare the at least one coded address or PIN to the address or PIN provided with the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data to ensure that the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data is received and processed by the dialysis machine as opposed to extraneous data received over the same frequency, data rate, or communication protocol from unwanted sources, including devices in proximity of the dialysis machine, as a result of the extraneous data from the unwanted sources not having the at least one coded address or PIN. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A dialysis system comprising:
-
a dialysis machine configured to perform a prescribed dialysis treatment on a patient, generate ultrafiltration (“
UF”
) removed data over the prescribed dialysis treatment, andtransmit the UF removed data; at least one of a blood pressure monitor configured to wirelessly transmit blood pressure data or a weight scale configured to wirelessly transmit patient weight data, the at least one of the blood pressure monitor or the weight scale located external to the dialysis machine; and a receiver coded with at least one of an address or a personal identification number (“
PIN”
), the receiver configured to receive at least one of the blood pressure data from the blood pressure monitor or patient weight data from the weight scale wirelessly over a frequency, data rate, or communication protocol;wherein the at least one coded address or PIN is used by the at least one of the blood pressure monitor or the weight scale and is provided within the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data sent to the receiver, wherein the receiver is configured to compare the at least one coded address or PIN to the address or PIN provided with the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data to ensure that the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data is received and processed by the receiver as opposed to extraneous data received over the same frequency, data rate, or communication protocol from unwanted sources, including devices in proximity of the dialysis machine, as a result of the extraneous data from the unwanted sources not having the at least one coded address or PIN, and wherein the UF removed data and at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data is transmitted via a network located external to the dialysis machine. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
