Fluid replacement device
First Claim
1. A device for hydrating a patient, the device comprising:
- a console including;
a weighing subsystem responsive to a first fluid source and responsive to a urine collection chamber,a single pump associated with the console wherein the single pump is configured to pump fluid from the first fluid source directly into the patient to hydrate the patient, anda processing subsystem responsive to the weighing subsystem and configured to determine an amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source and to determine the patient'"'"'s urine output, based on weight of the urine collection chamber and weight of the first fluid source, the processing subsystem further configured to control the pump to adjust operation of the pump based on the patient'"'"'s urine output and the amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source; and
a user interface in the console including;
means for setting a desired fluid balance for the patient, andmeans for manually setting an amount of at least one additional fluid delivered to the patient;
the processing subsystem being responsive to the set desired fluid balance and the set amount of said at least one additional fluid delivered to the patient;
the processing subsystem further configured to;
calculate an actual fluid balance of the patient based on the determined urine output, the determined amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source, and the set amount of said at least one additional fluid delivered to the patient, andfurther control said pump based on the actual fluid balance and the set desired fluid balance to pump fluid from the first fluid source until the actual fluid balance becomes the same as or approximately the same as the set desired fluid balance.

Abstract
A console includes a weighing subsystem responsive to a first fluid source and a urine collection chamber. A pump infuses fluid from the first fluid source into a patient. A processing subsystem is responsive to the weighing subsystem. Based on the weight of the first fluid source and of the urine collection chamber, urine output and amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source are determined. A user can set a desired fluid balance and the amount of at least one additional fluid delivered. An actual fluid balance is calculated based on the determined urine output, the determined amount of fluid infused from the first fluid source, and the set amount of the additional fluid delivered. The pump is controlled based on actual fluid balance and set desired fluid balance so actual fluid balance becomes the same or approximately the same as the desired fluid balance.

10. A device for hydrating a patient, the device comprising:
-
a console including; a weighing subsystem responsive to a first fluid source and responsive to a urine collection chamber, a pump associated with the console and configured to only pump fluid from the first fluid source into the patient to hydrate the patient, and a processing subsystem responsive to the weighing subsystem and configured to determine an amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source and to determine the patient'"'"'s urine output, based on weight of the urine collection chamber and weight of the first fluid source, the processing subsystem further configured to control the pump to adjust operation of the pump based on the patient'"'"'s urine output and the amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source; and a user interface in the console including; means for setting a desired fluid balance for the patient, and means for manually setting an amount of at least one additional fluid delivered to the patient from a separate source; the processing subsystem being responsive to the set desired fluid balance and the set amount of said at least one additional fluid delivered to the patient, the processing subsystem also configured to; calculate an actual fluid balance of the patient based on the determined urine output, the determined amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source, and the set amount of said at least one additional fluid delivered to the patient, and further control said pump based on the actual fluid balance and the set desired fluid balance to pump fluid from the first fluid source until the actual fluid balance becomes the same as or approximately the same as the set desired fluid balance.
