Remote Controlled Medical Apparatus
First Claim
1. A medical system for cleaning the blood of a patient, the system comprising:
- a dialysis unit configured to treat blood in accordance with a prescribed therapy, the dialysis unit having a wireless interface for bi-directional exchange of data, anda gateway unit configured to communicate with the dialysis unit over the wireless interface, the gateway unit having an interface configured to be connected to a remote host via at least one interconnecting network, and the gateway unit being further configured to provide a bidirectional exchange of data between the remote host and the dialysis unit, wherein the dialysis unit is configured to;
influence the prescribed therapy in response to control data received from the remote host via the gateway unit, the control data being received during an ongoing treatment, andmodify at least one parameter of the prescribed therapy in respect of the ongoing treatment before completing said ongoing treatment.

Abstract
The invention relates to remote controlled blood cleaning of a patient (P). A dialysis unit (110) treats the patient'"'"'s (P) blood in accordance with a prescribed therapy. The dialysis unit (110) has a bi-directional wireless interface (110W-120W) towards a gateway unit (120), which is further connected (125) to a remote host (140) via at least one interconnecting network (130). Thus, therapy related parameters (Dbp, Dr, dh, Dw) can be transmitted from the dialysis unit (110) to the remote host (140). It is also rendered possible for the remote host (140) to transmit control data (Dctr1) to the dialysis unit (110), the control data (Dctr1) influencing the prescribed therapy being, or to be, executed by the dialysis unit (1 10).
