Perfusion system with perfusion circuit display
First Claim
1. A medical perfusion system for use in connection with the medical treatment of a patient, comprising:
- a first type of perfusion device, said first type of perfusion device comprising a blood pump being adapted to pump blood through a fluid conduit connected to the patient;
a second type of perfusion device, said second type of perfusion device being adapted to sense a first condition and generate a first sensing signal relating to said first condition;
a third type of perfusion device, said third type of perfusion device being adapted to sense a second condition and generate a second sensing signal relating to said second condition;
a data communications network operatively interconnecting said perfusion devices, said data communications network having a plurality of data communication lines provided to each of a plurality of network connectors, each of said network connectors having an identical connector configuration;
a first adapter pod having a common connector and a device connector, said common connector being adapted to be coupled to one of said network connectors and said device connector being adapted to be coupled to said blood pump;
a second adapter pod having a common connector and a device connector, said common connector of said second adapter pod being adapted to be coupled to one of said network connectors and said device connector of said second adapter pod being adapted to be coupled to said second type of perfusion device, said device connector of said second adapter pod having a different connector configuration than said device connector of said first adapter pod;
a third adapter pod having a common connector and a device connector, said common connector of said third adapter pod being adapted to be coupled to one of said network connectors and said device connector of said third adapter pod being adapted to be coupled to said third type of perfusion device, said device connector of said third adapter pod having a different connector configuration than said device connector of said first adapter pod;
means for transmitting messages in the form of digital data packets among said perfusion devices over said data communications network;
a controller operatively coupled to said perfusion devices via said data communications network, said controller having an input device for accepting control commands relating to said perfusion devices from an operator;
a display device for generating visual displays relating to said perfusion system; and
means coupled to said display device for generating a perfusion circuit image comprising an image of each of said perfusion devices and an image of a fluid conduit.
