Patent Images
1. A method of displaying flow rate graphs and alarms on a dialysis system, the method comprising:
- selecting a normal flow rate graph;
determining an abnormal flow rate graph associated with the selected normal flow rate graph; and
simultaneously displaying the normal flow rate graph, the abnormal flow rate graph, an actual flow rate graph, and an alarm type, wherein each of the normal flow rate graph, the abnormal flow rate graph, and the actual flow rate graph are time-aligned with each other.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for displaying flow rate graphs and alarms on a dialysis system. The disclosed methods and apparatus allow a user to simultaneously view a normal flow rate graph, one or more abnormal flow rate graphs, an actual flow rate graph, and an alarm type. Preferably, the three graphs are at the same scale and time-aligned so the user can quickly diagnose issues associated with drain and catheter problems.
