Abstract
In a medical device, a Tx Clock Button is presented on a graphics display overlain with a touch screen which allows an operator to control multiple functions of the medical device. Various parts of Tx Clock Button may be displayed in different colors, and based on the state of treatment at a given time and in response to the operator touching Tx Clock Button, the colors may change to visually indicate a change in state. When the Tx Clock Button is touched for the first time after a new patient has been selected, multiple functions, times, displays, parameters, and alarms of the medical device are initiated. When the Tx Clock Button is touched for the second time, various ones of the multiple functions, times, displays, parameters, and alarms may be suspended. A third touch of the Tx Clock Button may resume the suspended items.

21. A system for controlling multiple functions of a medical device, the system comprising:
-
a button for receiving operator input and sending an operator input signal;
a processor, connectable to said button for receiving said operator input signal, said processor having, a memory; and
a program code stored in said memory;
wherein said processor running said program code interprets said operator input signal and outputs control signals; and
at least one component of the medical device in communication with said processor;
wherein a first operator input signal is interpreted by said processor and outputs a first plurality of control signals that, start said at least one component of the medical device;
start at least two time accumulations of the medical device; and
start accumulation of at least two parameters of the medical device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60)
