Methods and systems for measuring and verifying additives for use in a dialysis machine
First Claim
1. A portable dialysis system for conducting a dialysis treatment, wherein said portable dialysis system comprises:
- a. first housing having a display and having a dialyzer, plurality of pumps and fluid flow paths for conducting said dialysis treatment;
b. a second housing having water reservoir, a scale and a bar code reader, wherein the first housing is adapted to physically attach to, and sit on top of, the second housing and wherein a fluid flow path places water in said water reservoir in fluid communication with at least one of the fluid flow paths in the first housing; and
c. a memory, located in the first housing, for storing a plurality of programmatic instructions wherein, upon execution, said instructions generate;
i. a first graphical user interface for presentation on said display, wherein said first graphical user interface displays each additive required for use in the dialysis treatment;
ii. a second graphical user interface for presentation on said display, wherein said second graphical user interface prompts a user of said system to submit a plurality of additives to scanning using said bar code scanner; and
iii. a third graphical user interface for presentation on said display, wherein said third graphical user interface prompts a user of said system to submit a plurality of additives to measurement using said scale.

Abstract
The present application discloses a portable dialysis system for conducting a dialysis treatment. The portable dialysis system has a controller unit that includes a display, a scale, a bar code reader, and a memory storing a plurality of programmatic instructions. Upon execution, the instructions generate a first graphical user interface, a second graphical user interface, and a third graphical user interface for presentation on the display. The first graphical user interface displays each additive required for use in the dialysis treatment. The second graphical user interface prompts a user to submit additives to scanning using the bar code scanner. The third graphical user interface prompts a user to submit additives to measurement using the scale.
