Abstract
Extracorporeal blood treatment systems and methods to display graphical user interfaces displaying a plurality of fluids areas, each including a flow rate, and displaying adjustment notifications proximate one or more fluid areas. For example, when a user adjusts a flow rate to a limit, one or more notifications may be displayed proximate other flow rates that may be adjusted to modify the limit.
Claims23
An extracorporeal blood treatment system comprising:
- a display apparatus comprising a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to depict a fluids region;
- and
- a computing apparatus comprising one or more processors operatively coupled to the display apparatus, wherein the computing apparatus is configured to:
- display on the graphical user interface a fluids region comprising a plurality of fluid areas, wherein each fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas comprises a flow rate and at least one limit value, wherein the flow rate is depicted in the fluid area;
- allow a user to adjust the flow rate of a selected fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas;
- and
- display, when the flow rate of the selected fluid area has been adjusted such that the at least one limit of the selected fluid area has been reached, an adjustment notification proximate one or more other fluid areas of the plurality of fluid areas different than the selected fluid area, wherein the adjustment notification comprises one or both of an adjustment icon and an animation depicted at least partially within the one or more fluid areas, wherein the one or more other fluid areas are adjustable to modify the at least one limit of the selected fluid area.
An extracorporeal blood treatment system comprising:
- a display apparatus comprising a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to depict a fluids region;
- and
- a computing apparatus comprising one or more processors operatively coupled to the display apparatus, wherein the computing apparatus is configured to:
- display on the graphical user interface a fluids region comprising a plurality of fluid areas, wherein each fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas comprises a flow rate depicted in the fluid area;
- display graphical representations of fluid connections between one or more fluid areas of the plurality of fluid areas prior to a user adjusting the flow rate of a fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas;
- and
- remove the graphical representations of fluid connections from the graphical user interface when a user initiates an action associated with at least one fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas.

- display graphical representations of fluid connections between one or more fluid areas of the plurality of fluid areas prior to a user adjusting the flow rate of a fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas;
- and
- graphically modify the graphical representations of fluid connections when a user initiates an action associated with at least one fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas.
A method for an extracorporeal blood treatment system comprising:
- providing a graphical user interface comprising a fluids region;
- displaying on the graphical user interface a fluids region comprising a plurality of fluid areas, wherein each fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas comprises a flow rate and at least one limit value, wherein the flow rate is depicted in the fluid area;
- allowing a user to adjust the flow rate of a selected fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas;
- and
- displaying, when the flow rate of the selected fluid area has been adjusted such that the at least one limit of the selected fluid area has been reached, an adjustment notification proximate one or more other fluid areas of the plurality of fluid areas different than the selected fluid area, wherein the adjustment notification comprises one or both of an adjustment icon and an animation depicted at least partially within the one or more fluid areas, wherein the one or more other fluid areas are adjustable to modify the at least one limit of the selected fluid area.
A method for an extracorporeal blood treatment system comprising:
- providing a graphical user interface comprising a fluids region;
- displaying on the graphical user interface a fluids region comprising a plurality of fluid areas, wherein each fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas comprises a flow rate depicted in the fluid area;
- displaying graphical representations of fluid connections between one or more fluid areas of the plurality of fluid areas prior to a user adjusting the flow rate of a fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas;
- displaying on the graphical user interface a change region;
- and
- removing the graphical representations of fluid connections from the graphical user interface when a user selects the change region.
