Display panel and controls for blood mixture delivery system
First Claim
1. A blood mixture fluid delivery system, said system defining a fluid flow path from at least one source to a patient, said system having a display panel, a mechanism for infusing a blood mixture fluid to said patient along said fluid flow path and a control mechanism for controlling a plurality of controllable characteristics of said blood mixture fluid delivery system via a plurality of control elements located at a plurality of locations within said fluid flow path, said display panel of said fluid delivery system comprising:
- (a) a panel, having depicted thereon a visible schematic representation of said fluid flow path originating from at least one source, through said blood mixture fluid delivery system, to said patient; and
(b) two or more visible displays, each visible display representing at least one of said plurality of controllable characteristics of said blood mixture fluid delivery system, each visible display taking a position with respect to said visible schematic representation analogous to a location of at least one associated control element within said fluid flow path.

Abstract
A display panel for use with a blood mixture fluid delivery system, which system has mechanisms for infusing blood mixture fluid to a patient and for controlling characteristics of the fluid delivery system. The display panel includes a visible schematic representation of a blood mixture fluid flow path through the fluid delivery system and visible displays of two or more of the controllable characteristics of the fluid delivery system, which visible displays are positioned along the schematic representation of the blood mixture fluid flow path.

48. A cardioplegia delivery system having a display panel, which said cardioplegia fluid delivery system has mechanisms for infusing blood, crystalloid, heart arresting agent and for controlling a plurality of controllable characteristics along a fluid flow path defined by said fluid delivery system, said display panel of said cardioplegia fluid delivery system comprising:
-
(a) a digital display of numeric values that display a settable upper limit and a settable lower limit for a specified controllable characteristic; and (b) an analog display depicting an actual value of said specified controllable characteristic measured along said fluid flow path, for which said upper and lower limits are represented and provide a basis of relative measurement for said actual value, wherein such combination of digital and analog displays empowers a user to immediately assess potentially critical conditions relating to infusion of cardioplegia fluid. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)

56. A cardioplegia fluid delivery system having a display panel and controls for use by an operator to control delivery of a cardioplegia fluid, which system has mechanisms for infusing said cardioplegia solution into a patient'"'"'s heart, said display panel and controls of said system comprising:
-
(a) a panel; (b) a visible representation of alternative cardioplegia fluid delivery points in said patient'"'"'s heart, positioned on said panel, such visible representation including a delivery point in said patient'"'"'s aortic root for antegrade delivery and a delivery point in said patient'"'"'s coronary sinus for retrograde delivery; (c) control means in said cardioplegia fluid delivery system, by which said delivery point in the patient'"'"'s heart may be alternative selected by said operator; and (d) indicia means, coupled to said control means and positioned on said panel adjacent to said visible representation, for indicating whether said delivery point of said cardioplegia fluid is consistent with said retrograde delivery or said antegrade delivery. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58, 59, 60, 61)
