Patent Images
1. A peritoneal dialysis system comprising:
- a dialysis fluid container associated with an identifier;
a reader for reading the identifier;
a signal transmitter for communicating data based on the identifier;
a patient access device; and
a patient transfer set for semi-permanent connection to a patient, the patient transfer set connected directly adjacent to the patient access device and including;
(i) a signal receiver for receiving the data sent by the signal transmitter,(ii) an output device for communicating with the patient, and(iii) electronics configured to receive the data and command the output device to communicate with the patient accordingly.

23. A peritoneal dialysis system comprising:
-
a dialysis fluid container associated with an identifier; a reader for reading the identifier; a signal transmitter configured to communicate (i) a fill duration, after which it is assumed that a fill from the dialysis fluid container is completed and (ii) a dwell duration based, at least in part, on the identifier; a sensor positioned to sense a presence of a member bearing the identifier; a patient access device; and a patient transfer set for semi-permanent connection to a patient, the patient transfer set connected directly adjacent to the patient access device and including a signal receiver for receiving the fill duration and the dwell duration, the patient transfer set configured to begin a running of the fill duration upon receiving a signal from the transmitter indicating that the sensor sensed a removal of the member from a location of the reader and the sensor.
