Abstract
A system and method for pairing a dialysis machine with peripheral devices are disclosed. An example system includes first and second memory devices, a first dialysis machine including a first memory device port configured to be connectable to the first memory device, and a second dialysis machine including a second memory device port configured to be connectable to the second memory device. The system also includes an intermediate data transfer unit including a port configured to connect to the first and the second memory devices to enable data transfer with the respective dialysis machines. The intermediate data transfer unit is configured to receive data from a weight sensor, a blood pressure sensor, or a remote exchange device for a patient and store the data to the first or second memory device to communicate the data to the respective first or second dialysis machine.

- A dialysis system comprising;
-
14. :
- An intermediate data transfer unit apparatus comprising;
a housing separate from a housing of a first dialysis machine and a housing of a second dialysis machine; a port carried by the housing and connectable to a first memory device and a second memory device to enable data transfer with the first dialysis machine, which is configured to communicate with the first memory device, and the second dialysis machine, which is configured to communicate with the second memory device; and an interface for wirelessly receiving data from at least one of a weight sensor, a blood pressure sensor, or a remote exchange device, wherein the intermediate data transfer unit is programmed to; receive the data, via the interface, from at least one of the weight sensor, the blood pressure sensor, or the remote exchange device for a patient, and store the data to the first or second memory device to communicate the data to the respective first or second dialysis machine.
- An intermediate data transfer unit apparatus comprising;
-
15. :
- A dialysis data storage method comprising;
receiving, in an intermediate data transfer unit, data related to a patient from at least one of a weight sensor, a blood pressure sensor, or a remote exchange device; causing the intermediate data transfer unit to detect a connection of a memory device to a port of the intermediate data transfer unit; and causing the intermediate data transfer unit to store the data to the memory device so that the memory device can be transported to a dialysis machine for transfer of the data from the memory device to the dialysis machine. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
