1. A dialysis machine for a home environment comprising:
- an enclosure;
a dialysate pump located within the enclosure;
a user interface integrated into the enclosure and configured to display user interface information including at least a parameter associated with the dialysate pump;
at least one control feature for controlling the dialysate pump parameter, the control feature controllable by a patient in the home environment and including a keyboard projected from a keyboard projector integrated into the enclosure, the projected keyboard displayed on a first surface separate from the enclosure; and
a light projecting apparatus integrated into the enclosure and configured to project information from the dialysis machine onto a second surface more readily viewable by the patient than the user interface, wherein the projected information includes a plurality of different information display screens each displayed automatically in a scrolling cycle, the plurality of different information display screens including a portion, but not all, of the user interface information displayed on the user interface integrated into the enclosure,wherein the first surface is separate from the second surface, andwherein at least a portion of the information inputted via the projected keyboard is displayed by the light projecting apparatus on the second surface.

20. A dialysis machine for a home environment comprising:
-
an enclosure; a user interface integrated into the enclosure and configured to display dialysis treatment information; at least one control feature for controlling the dialysis machine, the at least one control feature controllable by a patient in the home environment and including a laser projector removably mounted onto a board for projecting an infrared plane of light; and a light projecting apparatus integrated into the enclosure and configured to project dialysis therapy status information from the dialysis machine onto a surface viewable by the patient, wherein the projected dialysis therapy status information includes a portion, but not all, of the dialysis treatment information displayed on the user interface integrated into the enclosure, wherein the board is separate from the surface, and wherein at least a portion of the information inputted via the infrared plane of light is displayed by the light projecting apparatus on the surface. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
