SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED DATA COLLECTION OF TWENTY-FOUR HOUR ULTRAFILTRATION AND OTHER PATIENT PARAMETERS USING WIRED OR WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
First Claim
1. A dialysis system comprising:
- A dialysis machine for performing a first dialysis session on a patient at a first time of a day;
a remote exchange device for performing a second dialysis session on the patient at a second time of the day, the remote exchange device configured to record an amount of ultrafiltration (“
UF”
) that is removed from the patient over the second dialysis session; and
a communication link between the dialysis machine and the remote exchange device,wherein the dialysis machine is configured to receive the recorded amount UF removed from the remote exchange device via the communication link and determine a total amount of UF removed from the patient over the first and second sessions.

Abstract
A dialysis system includes: a dialysis machine for performing a first dialysis session on a patient at a first time of a day; a remote exchange device for performing a second dialysis session on the patient at a second time of the day, the remote exchange device configured to record an amount of ultrafiltration (“UF”) that is removed from the patient over the second dialysis session; and a communication link between the dialysis machine and the remote exchange device, wherein the dialysis machine is configured to receive the recorded amount UF removed from the remote exchange device via the communication link and determine a total amount of UF removed from the patient over the first and second sessions.

15. A dialysis system comprising:
-
a dialysis machine; a blood pressure sensor in wireless communication with the dialysis machine; a patient weight sensor in wireless communication with the dialysis machine; wherein the dialysis machine is a wireless slave to the wireless master blood pressure and weight sensors such that the dialysis machine is discoverable by the sensors when either the blood pressure or weight sensors is powered. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A dialysis method comprising:
-
accumulating a first amount of ultrafiltration (“
UF”
) removed from a patient over a nighttime therapy automatically;recording a second amount of UF removed from the patient over a day time exchange automatically; sending the second amount of UF removed electronically to a location; and at the location, summing the first and second UF amounts to arrive at a total UF amount removed from the patient for a twenty-four hour period. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
