Systems and methods for providing notifications in dialysis systems
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of performing dialysis and displaying informationin response to at least one event related to a treatment performed by a dialysis system, comprising:
- providing a dialysis system comprising a dialysis machine and an extracorporeal circuit for removing blood from a patient, at least one of filtering and dialyzing of the blood, and returning cleaned blood to the patient, while monitoring safety-critical parameters within the circuit;
displaying a first number at a treatment display, the first number corresponding to a number of current notifications including messages corresponding to different events detected by the monitoring in an event category, the first number generated in response to at least one current event of the different events in the event category related to the treatment;
detecting a new event from the monitoring of the different events in the event category related to the treatment;
displaying a second number in response to detecting the new event, the second number corresponding to a combination of a new notification message generated in response to the new event in the event category and the message corresponding to the at least one current event of the different events in the event category number of current notifications;
determining a highest priority event between the new event and the at least one current event; and
displaying at the treatment display at least one notification corresponding to the highest priority event enabling suggesting a course of action that corrects an abnormal monitored parameter.

Abstract
A system and method provide information in response to at least one current event related to a treatment performed by a dialysis system. A first number is displayed at a treatment display in communication with the dialysis system. The first number corresponds to a set of current notifications. Each current notification is generated in response to at least one current event related to the treatment. A new event is detected that is related to the treatment. The first number is increased to a second number in response to detecting the new event. The second number corresponds to a new notification generated in response to the new event and corresponds to the set of current notifications. A highest priority event is determined between the new event and the at least one current event. The treatment display displays at least one notification corresponding to the highest priority event.

18. A notification system comprised in a dialysis system, the dialysis system comprising a dialysis system comprising a dialysis machine and an extracorporeal circuit for removing blood from a patient, at least one of filtering and dialyzing of the blood, and returning cleaned blood to the patient, and including a device for monitoring safety-critical parameters within the circuit:
-
an event signal detector that receives event signals generated in response to detected events of different events in an event category related to a treatment performed by the dialysis system and detected by the device for monitoring; a notification generator that processes the event signals to generate a number of notifications including messages corresponding to the different events in the event category; a notification summary generator that generates a number corresponding to the number of notifications including messages corresponding to the different events in the event category; and further comprising a notification priority module that determines a priority of each event of the plurality of events in order to output a notification to the treatment display that corresponds to a highest priority event of the plurality of events and enabling suggesting a course of action that corrects an abnormal monitored parameter. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A computer-implemented method of performing dialysis and determining a notification for display, the notification corresponding to an event related to a treatment performed by a dialysis system, the method comprising:
-
providing a dialysis system comprising a dialysis machine and an extracorporeal circuit for removing blood from a patient, at least one of filtering and dialyzing of the blood, and returning cleaned blood to the patient, while monitoring safety-critical parameters within the circuit; generating at least two notifications, each notification generated in response to an event related to the treatment and including messages corresponding to different events detected by the monitoring in an event category; displaying at least one number corresponding to a number of the at least two notifications at a first region of a treatment display; displaying a first highest priority notification of the at least two notifications at a second region of the treatment display enabling suggesting a course of action that corrects an abnormal monitored parameter; and cycling between the first highest priority notification and other notifications of the at least two notifications to display at least one other notification of the other notifications at the treatment display. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
