SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTION OF STORED DIALYSIS THERAPY PRESCRIPTIONS
First Claim
1. A dialysis system comprising:
- a dialysis machine;
a logic implementer storing a plurality of therapy prescriptions by which to operate the dialysis machine, each therapy prescription pre-approved for a particular patient treated by the dialysis machine; and
wherein the logic implementer is configured to select, for a given time period (i) a first therapy prescription from the plurality of therapy prescriptions to be performed a certain number of times over the time period and (ii) a second therapy prescription from the plurality of therapy prescriptions to be performed a certain number of times over the time period, andwherein the dialysis machine is thereafter operated based upon a selection of (i) and (ii) made by the logic implementer.

Abstract
In an embodiment, an automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine includes at least one pump, a logic implementer storing a plurality of therapy prescriptions by which to operate the at least one pump, each therapy prescription pre-approved for a particular patient, and an input device operating with the logic implementer to allow the patient to select one of the therapy prescriptions for a particular therapy. In another embodiment, the input device operating with the logic implementer allows a doctor/clinician to select or approve one of the therapy prescriptions to be run on the APD machine. In a further embodiment, the logic implementer is programmed to select or suggest one of the therapy prescriptions to be run on the APD machine.

8. A dialysis system comprising:
-
a dialysis machine; a logic implementer storing a plurality of therapy prescriptions by which to operate the dialysis machine, each therapy prescription pre-approved by a doctor/clinician for a particular patient treated by the dialysis machine and delivered remotely from the doctor/clinician to the logic implementer; and which is configured to allow a selection of (i) a first duration therapy prescription from the plurality of therapy prescriptions to be performed for an upcoming therapy or (ii) a second duration therapy prescription from the plurality of therapy prescriptions to be performed for the upcoming therapy, and wherein the dialysis machine is thereafter operated based upon the selected first or second duration therapy prescriptions. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A dialysis method comprising:
-
providing multiple therapy prescriptions to a dialysis patient, each of the multiple therapy prescriptions including a time of therapy component and an amount of ultrafiltration (“
UF”
) removed component; andenabling the dialysis patient to choose prior to a therapy which of the multiple therapy prescriptions to run based upon the time of therapy desired and how much UF the patient wishes to remove. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
