Abstract

Extracorporeal blood treatment systems and methods to display and select various historical data for extracorporeal blood treatments. Historical data related to extracorporeal blood treatments may be displayed on a two-dimensional graph and in a list view that may be switched there between. Further, historical data may include various datasets (e.g., fluid datasets, patient fluid removal datasets, anticoagulation datasets, etc.) and event information that may be displayed simultaneously.
