Performing an apheresis procedure on a human subject with identity confirmation
First Claim
1. A system for performing an apheresis procedure on a human subject, comprising:
- an apheresis treatment device configured to draw blood from a human subject, separate the blood by blood component, and return at least one of the components to the human subject; and
a remote data storage device located remotely from the apheresis treatment device and configured to communicate with the apheresis treatment device over a network, the remote data storage device programmed with a plurality of subject data entries, each subject data entry associated with a human subject, each subject data entry comprising subject-specific information, the remote data storage device configured to download subject-specific information comprising a name and a birth date from the subject data entry and further configured to program the apheresis treatment device with a plurality of parameters for the apheresis medical procedure;
the apheresis treatment device comprising;
a wireless circuit configured to communicate with the remote data storage device;
a touch screen configured to receive an input; and
a controller configured to confirm an identity of the human subject based on the input and, based at least in part on the result of the confirmation, provide access to an apheresis procedure operated according to the programmed parameters on the apheresis treatment device.

Abstract
A system for performing an apheresis procedure on a human subject includes an apheresis treatment device and a remote data storage device. The remote data storage device communicates with the apheresis treatment device over a network. The remote data storage device is programmed with a plurality of subject data entries, each subject data entry comprising subject-specific information. The remote data storage device downloads subject-specific information comprising a name and a birth date from the subject data entry and programs the apheresis treatment device with a plurality of parameters for the apheresis medical procedure. The apheresis treatment device includes a touch screen and a controller, the controller confirming an identity of the human subject based on an input. Based on the result of the confirmation access is provided to an apheresis procedure operated according to the programmed parameters on the apheresis treatment device.
