First Claim
1. A peritoneal dialysis system comprising:
- an automated peritoneal dialysis (“
APD”
) machine including a wireless interface receiver and at least one of (i) an address and (ii) a personal identification number; and
a patient weight scale and a blood pressure monitor each including a wireless interface transmitter, the patient weight scale and the blood pressure monitor operable to send (i) at least one of (a) the address and (b) the personal identification number and (ii) patient weight data and patient blood pressure data wirelessly, respectively, to the wireless interface receiver.

Abstract
A peritoneal dialysis system includes an automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine including a logic implementer and a wireless interface receiver. The system also includes at least one of a scale or a blood pressure monitor including a wireless interface transmitter. The scale or blood pressure monitor is operable to send at least one of patient blood pressure data and patient weight data wirelessly, respectively, to the wireless interface receiver. The logic implementer is configured to store the patient blood pressure data or patient weight data. A server computer is configured to communicate with the logic implementer to receive the stored at least one patient blood pressure data and patient weight data.
