Using physiological data in a medical device
First Claim
1. A method for using physiological data to control an apheresis machine, the apheresis machine comprising a processing circuit including a processor and a memory, the processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory, the memory including a first memory partition including a control module for generating commands for controlling the apheresis machine and a first procedure data module storing a medical procedure routine, and a second memory partition including a second procedure data module, the method comprising:
- generating a start procedure command at the control module based on the medical procedure routine;
causing the apheresis machine to begin a medical procedure on a subject based on the start procedure command generated at the control module, wherein the medical procedure is an apheresis procedure;
in response to causing the medical device to begin the medical procedure and receiving a data change request, determining whether the medical procedure routine is executing and whether the data change request is received from the medical procedure routine;
in response to determining that the medical procedure routine is executing and the data change request is received from the medical procedure routine, changing data stored in the first memory partition while the medical procedure routine is executing;
storing, in the second procedure data module, physiological data received from a measurement device, the physiological data being indicative of a physiological condition of the subject during the medical procedure, the physiological data including at least one of a measured blood pressure, body temperature, respiratory rate, or pulse rate of the subject;
analyzing, by the control module, the physiological data;
generating, by the control module, a control command for the apheresis machine based in part on the analyzed physiological data, wherein the control command causes the apheresis machine to adjust a flow rate of blood through the apheresis machine;
modifying operation of the medical procedure by the apheresis machine based on the control command by adjusting the flow rate of blood through the apheresis machine.

Abstract
Systems and methods for using physiological data in a medical device are disclosed. The physiological data may be measured by a vital sign reader and received by a processing circuit associated with the medical device. The processing circuit may automatically adjust the operation of the medical device during a medical procedure based on the physiological data. In some implementations, the processing circuit may mirror a memory partition to a redundant storage device, allowing for uninterrupted execution of the medical procedure in the event of a memory failure condition.
