DIALYSIS SYSTEM HAVING TRENDING AND ALERT GENERATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A peritoneal dialysis system comprising:
- an automated peritoneal dialysis (“
APD”
) machine; and
a server computer in communication with the APD machine, the server computer and APD machine programmed such that the APD machine can send patient ultrafiltration (“
UF”
) removed data to the server computer, the server computer programmed to output the UF removed data in a form suitable for a doctor/clinician to review the data and make a therapy adjustment if necessary.

Abstract
A peritoneal dialysis system includes: an automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine configured to remove ultrafiltrate (“UF”) from a patient and record how much UF has been removed; and a logic implementer configured to (i) form a first moving average UF removed trend, (ii) determine a trending range around the first moving average UF removed trend, (iii) determine at least one of an upper and lower UF removed limit from the trending range, (iv) form a second moving average UF removed trend, and (v) alert if the second moving average UF removed trend moves outside of the at least one UF removed limit.
