1. A dialysis system comprising:
- a dialysis fluid cassette-based membrane blood pump;
a dialyzer in fluid communication with the blood pump;
first and second dialysis fluid cassette-based balance chambers each having (i) a fresh dialysis fluid compartment in fluid communication with the dialyzer and (ii) a spent dialysis fluid compartment;
a dialysis fluid cassette-based fresh dialysis fluid membrane pump in fluid communication with the fresh dialysis fluid compartments of the first and second balance chambers;
a dialysis fluid cassette-based spent dialysis fluid membrane pump in fluid communication with the dialyzer and the spent dialysis fluid compartments of the first and second balance chambers; and
which is configured to (i) receive a data transfer including a plurality of prescription entries for the system, each prescription entry including at least one prescribed therapy parameter, and (ii) make each of the prescription entries available for selection by an operator for the beginning of therapy.
