1. A device for operating technical medical apparatus comprising:
- a display screen;
a touchscreen surface;
second means for displaying a schematic representation of at least two components of the apparatus and functional relationships between the components, using a separate characteristic symbol to represent each of the at least two components of the apparatus, each of the components selected from the group consisting of pumps, cut-off devices, sensors, and heating devices, the functional relationships comprising at least one of electrical and fluid connections between the components; and
first means for displaying and/or for allowing a user to alter treatment parameters related to the components, wherein touching by the user of the characteristics symbol displayed by the second means allows display and/or alteration via the first means of the treatment parameters corresponding to the component represented by the characteristic symbol, the parameters comprising at least one of actual and desired flow, temperature, on/off status and valve opening status.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for operating technical medical apparatus, especially dialysis apparatus, with a display screen and a touch screen surface and with a means for displaying and/or altering characteristic treatment data. The invention simplifies handling of technical medical apparatus and reduces the probability of operating errors by providing a second means for displaying characteristic symbols for the components of the apparatus, thereby allowing manipulation of the characteristic treatment data by touching the symbols on the touch screen surface. The invention also entails a method of operating technical medical apparatus.

15. A method of operating a technical medical apparatus comprising the steps of:
- touching a characteristic symbol for a component of the apparatus on a touch-screen surface of a device comprising;
the display screen;
the touchscreen surface;
a second means for displaying characteristic symbols showing a schematic representation of at least two components of the apparatus and the functional relationship between the components on a touchscreen surface, each of the components selected from the group consisting of pumps, cut-off devices, sensors, and heating devices, the functional relationships comprising at least one of electrical and fluid connections between the components; and
a first means for displaying and/or altering treatment parameters related to the component, wherein touching the characteristic symbol in the second means allows display and/or alteration via the first means of the treatment parameters corresponding to the symbol, the parameters comprising at least one of actual and desired flow, temperature, on/off status and valve opening status. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 20, 21)
