1. A control system for a dialysis machine, said control system comprising:
- an input device for receiving information;
a non-volatile memory device responsive to said input device for storing information;
a clock; and
a processor responsive to said memory device for implementing a treatment, said processor responsive to said input device for entering a transport mode, said processor further responsive to said clock such that said processor is prevented from implementing said treatment after a predetermined time in said transport mode has elapsed; and
an output device responsive to said processor.

Abstract
A dialysis machine is provided comprising a non-volatile memory component into which patient data is stored. The patient data includes patient identification as well as prescribed patient treatment parameters. When data for a particular patient is entered by an operator into the non-volatile memory, the machine can be shut down and transported to the patient. The machine is then restarted, and performs a series of checks to ensure that all functions are ready to commence treatment. Patient treatment can then be achieved at a location remote from where the machine was first set up.
