Dialysis system having inventory management including online dextrose mixing
First Claim
1. An automated peritoneal dialysis system comprising:
- a server and a non-transitory memory operable with the server, the memory storing a plurality of different therapy prescriptions that are prescribed for a patient, the plurality of different therapy prescriptions including at least a standard ultrafiltration (“
UF”
) prescription, a low UF prescription, and a high UF prescription corresponding to different UF removal amounts for a same peritoneal dialysis therapy type;
at least one pump;
a first solution having a first formulation placed in fluid communication with the at least one pump;
a second solution having a second formulation placed in fluid communication with the at least one pump;
first and second valves placed respectively between the first and second solutions and the at least one pump; and
a logic implementer communicatively coupled to the server and programmed to;
receive from the server the plurality of different therapy prescriptions that are prescribed for the patient,receive a selection of one of the therapy prescriptions prescribed for the patient,identify a formulation level of a third solution specified by the selected therapy prescription,determine a first amount of pumping by the at least one pump needed to pump the first solution to form the third solution having the specified formulation level,determine a second amount of pumping by the at least one pump needed to pump the second solution to form the third solution having the specified formulation level, andoperate the at least one pump and the first and second valves to proportionally perform the first amount of pumping and the second amount of pumping to form the third solution.

Abstract
An automated peritoneal dialysis system and machine configured to perform dextrose mixing are disclosed. An example dialysis machine includes at least one pump, a first dialysate having a first dextrose level placed in fluid communication with the at least one pump, and a second dialysate having a second dextrose level placed in fluid communication with the at least one pump. The example dialysis machine also includes first and second valves placed between the first and second dialysates and the at least one pump. The example dialysis machine further includes a logic implementer programmed to operate the at least one pump and the first and second valves to mix the first and second dialysates so as to form a third dextrose level.

16. An automated peritoneal dialysis apparatus comprising:
-
at least one pump; a first solution having a first formulation placed in fluid communication with the at least one pump; a second solution having a second formulation placed in fluid communication with the at least one pump; first and second valves placed between the first and second solutions and the at least one pump; and a logic implementer programmed to receive a selection of a therapy prescription from a plurality of different therapy prescriptions that are prescribed for a patient, identify a formulation level of a third solution specified by the selected therapy prescription, and to; (i) determine a first amount of pumping by the at least one pump needed to pump the first solution to form the third solution having a specified formulation, (ii) determine a second amount of pumping by the at least one pump needed to pump the second solution to form the third solution having the specified formulation, (iii) cause the first valve to be open while operating the at least one pump to pump the first solution for the first amount of pumping; (iv) cause the second valve to be open while operating the at least one pump to pump the second solution for the second amount of pumping; and (v) repeat (iii) and (iv) until a prescribed volume of the third solution having the specified formulation is formed, wherein the logic implementer is communicatively coupled to a server, the server communicatively coupled to a non-transitory memory storing the plurality of different therapy prescriptions that are prescribed for the patient, the plurality of different therapy prescriptions including at least a standard ultrafiltration (“
UF”
) prescription, a low UF prescription, and a high UF prescription corresponding to different UF removal amounts for a same peritoneal dialysis therapy type, andwherein the logic implementer is configured to receive from the server the plurality of different therapy prescriptions. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
