Abstract
A medical apparatus comprises a machine for treatment of fluids provided with means (3) for treating a patient'"'"'s blood which exhibit a control unit (4) for sending command signals and receiving information relating to the treatment under way on the patient. A remote unit (7) is included which enable the remote unit (7) to selectively take control of a predetermined number of functions of the medical machine. The control unit (4) of the medical machine is predisposed to selectively inhibit the remote control means (10) from taking or maintaining control of the functions of the medical machine in consequence of the operating configuration of the machine.

51. A medical apparatus comprising at least a medical machine for fluid treatment, exhibiting:
-
means for treating a fluid including a predetermined number of sensors for detecting functioning parameters of the medical machine and a predetermined number of actuators for intervening in order to modify functioning parameters of the medical machine; a control unit at least for sending command signals and for receiving information from the means for treating a fluid, the control unit sending command signals to the actuators and receiving data from the sensors in order to set an operating configuration of the machine; a device for entering data to be supplied to the control unit for enabling a user to generate the command signals for the means for treating a fluid; a display for viewing at least a part of the information received from the control unit relating to the means for treating a fluid; remote access and control means for enabling a remote unit to take control of a predetermined number of functions of the medical machine for treatment of a fluid; wherein the control unit of the medical machine is configured to selectively inhibit the remote access and control means from maintaining control of at least a part of the predetermined number of functions of the medical machine. - View Dependent Claims (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81)

82. A method for remotely accessing and controlling a medical machine for treatment of fluids, comprising following stages:
-
predisposing at least a medical machine for treatment of fluids, exhibiting; means for treatment of a fluid including a predetermined number of sensors for detecting functioning parameters of the medical machine and a predetermined number of actuators for intervening in order to modify functioning parameters of the medical machine; a control unit configured at least to send command signals and receive information from the means for treatment of fluids, the control unit sending command signals to the actuators and receiving data from the sensors in order to set an operating configuration of the machine; a device for entering data to be supplied to the control unit in order to enable a user to generate the command signals for the means for treatment of fluids; a display for viewing at least a part of the data received from the controlled unit relating to the means for treatment of the fluid; remote access and control means for enabling a remote control unit to take over control of a predetermined number of functions of the medical machine for treatment of fluid; predisposing at least a remote unit for distance-control of the medical machine for treatment of fluids, exhibiting; a device for entering at least command data; a display for viewing at least a part of the data relating to means for treatment of fluid; setting the remote control unit in communication with the medical machine for treatment of fluids via connecting means for an exchange of data; remotely controlling the medical machine by means of the remote control entering command data via the entering device, the connecting means enabling transmission of the command data and the remote access and control means enabling the remote control unit to take control of a predetermined number of functions of the medical machine for treatment of a fluid; selectively inhibiting the remote access and control means from taking and/or maintaining control of at least a part of the predetermined number of functions of the medical machine via the control unit of the medical machine. - View Dependent Claims (83, 84, 85, 86, 87)
