HEMODIALYSIS SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A hemodialysis system comprising:
- a dialysis unit comprising an automation computer and dialysis equipment;
a user interface unit comprising a user interface computer and a user interface, the user interface being adapted to display information and receive inputs;
wherein the automation computer is configured to receive requests for safety-critical information from the user interface computer, and the automation computer is configured to access the safety-critical information on behalf of the user interface computer; and
wherein the user interface computer is configured to display information related to a dialysis process via the user interface using the safety-critical information.

Abstract
Hemodialysis dialysis systems are disclosed. Hemodialysis systems of the invention may include a dialysate flow path including a balancing circuit, a mixing circuit, and/or a directing circuit. The circuits may be defined within one or more cassettes. The fluid circuits may be at least partially isolated, spatially and/or thermally, from electrical components of the system. A gas supply may be provided in fluid communication with the dialysate flow path and/or the dialyzer to, urge dialysate through the dialyzer and blood back to the patient. The hemodialysis systems may include fluid handling devices actuated using a control fluid, optionally delivered using detachable pump. Fluid handling devices may be generally rigid and of a spheroid shape, optionally with a diaphragm dividing the device into compartments.
