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 communicatively coupled to the dialysis machine and coded with at least one of an address or a personal identification number (“
PIN”
), the receiver configured to receive sensor data, from a sensor attached to the patient and external to the dialysis machine, wirelessly over a frequency, data rate, or communication protocol,wherein the at least one coded address or PIN is provided with the sensor data sent from the sensor to the receiver, andwherein the receiver is configured to compare the at least one coded address or PIN to the coded address or PIN provided with the sensor data to ensure that the sensor data is received and processed by the receiver as opposed to extraneous data received over the same frequency, data rate, or communication protocol from sources other than the sensor, including devices in proximity of the dialysis machine, based on the extraneous data from the sources other than the sensor not having the at least one coded address or PIN.

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 sensor data from a sensor attached to the patient. The at least one coded address or PIN ensures that the sensor data is received by the receiver as opposed to another receiver.

12. A dialysis system comprising:
-
a sensor attached to a patient and configured to transmit sensor data; and a dialysis machine coded with at least one of an address or a personal identification number (“
PIN”
) and in communication with the sensor, the dialysis machine configured toperform a dialysis treatment on a patient, receive the sensor data from the sensor over a frequency, data rate, or communication protocol, generate ultrafiltration (“
UF”
) removed data over the dialysis treatment, andsend the UF removed data and the sensor data to a processor that is communicatively coupled to the dialysis machine, the processor located external to the dialysis machine and separate from the dialysis system, wherein the at least one coded address or PIN is provided with the sensor data sent from the sensor to the dialysis machine, and wherein the dialysis machine is configured to compare the at least one coded address or PIN to the address or PIN provided with the sensor data to ensure that the sensor 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 sources other than the sensor, including devices in proximity of the dialysis machine, based on the extraneous data from the sources other than the sensor not having the at least one coded address or PIN. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A dialysis method comprising:
-
receiving, via a receiver coded with at least one of an address or a personal identification number (“
PIN”
) and communicatively coupled to a dialysis machine, sensor data, from a sensor attached to a patient and external to the receiver, wirelessly over a frequency, data rate, or communication protocol, wherein the at least one coded address or PIN is provided with the sensor data sent from the sensor to the receiver; andcomparing, via the receiver, the at least one coded address or PIN to the address or PIN provided with the sensor data to ensure that the sensor data is received and processed by the receiver as opposed to extraneous data received over the same frequency, data rate, or communication protocol from sources other than the sensor, including devices in proximity of the dialysis machine, based on the extraneous data from the sources other than the sensor not having the at least one coded address or PIN. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)

) removed data over the prescribed dialysis treatment, andtransmit the UF removed data; a sensor configured to wirelessly transmit sensor data, the sensor 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 the sensor data from the sensor over a frequency, data rate, or communication protocol;wherein the at least one coded address or PIN is provided with the sensor data sent from the sensor to the receiver, and wherein the receiver is configured to compare the at least one coded address or PIN to the address or PIN provided with the sensor data to ensure that the sensor data is received and processed by the receiver as opposed to extraneous data received over the same frequency, data rate, or communication protocol from sources other than the sensor, including devices in proximity of the dialysis machine, based on the extraneous data from the sources other than the sensor not having the at least one coded address or PIN. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)
