Dialysis system and machine having therapy prescription recall
First Claim
1. An automated peritoneal dialysis (“
- APD”
) system comprising;
an APD machine including at least one pump;
a logic implementer storing a plurality of therapy prescriptions by which to operate the at least one pump, each therapy prescription pre-approved for a particular patient; and
an input device operating with the logic implementer to allow a doctor/clinician to select, for a given time period, (i) a first therapy prescription of the plurality of therapy prescriptions to be run a certain number of times during the time period and (ii) a second therapy prescription of the plurality of therapy prescriptions to be run a certain number of times during the time period.

Abstract
In an embodiment, an automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine includes at least one pump, a logic implementer storing a plurality of therapy prescriptions by which to operate the at least one pump, each therapy prescription pre-approved for a particular patient, and an input device operating with the logic implementer to allow the patient to select one of the therapy prescriptions for a particular therapy. In another embodiment, the input device operating with the logic implementer allows a doctor/clinician to select or approve one of the therapy prescriptions to be run on the APD machine. In a further embodiment, the logic implementer is programmed to select or suggest one of the therapy prescriptions to be run on the APD machine.
