Abstract
Embodiments of the subject matter include a heart lung machine (HLM), including a plurality of actuators and a peripheral processing unit configured to receive a set of parameter data from the plurality of actuators. The HLM also may include a peripheral display device configured to present a subset of the set of parameter data and a control assembly comprising a control display device configured to present a user interface having a representation of a parameter value and an associated indication, where at least a portion of the associated indication overlaps at least a portion of the representation of the parameter value.
Claims20
A heart lung machine (HLM), comprising:
- a trolley including a base and at least one mast assembly attached to the base;
- a plurality of actuators coupled to the trolley;
- a peripheral processing unit coupled to the trolley and configured to receive a set of parameter data from the plurality of actuators;
- a peripheral display device coupled to the trolley and configured to present a subset of the set of parameter data;
- and
- a control assembly coupled to the trolley and comprising a control display device configured to present a user interface having a representation of a parameter value displayed as alphanumeric text and an associated indication displayed as alphanumeric text and/or a symbol, wherein at least a portion of the associated indication overlaps at least a portion of the representation of the parameter value.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having embodied thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processing unit, cause the processing unit to:
- facilitate presenting a user interface on a control display device of a heart lung machine, the user interface simultaneously displaying:
- a representation of a parameter value displayed as alphanumeric text in a first location on the control display device;
- and
- an associated indication displayed as alphanumeric text and/or a symbol, wherein at least a portion of the associated indication is displayed at a second location on the control display device that overlaps at least a portion of the representation of the parameter value at the first location;
- wherein the representation of the parameter value and the associated indication are readable simultaneously.
A method of presenting a user interface on a control display device of a heart lung machine (HLM), the HLM comprising a plurality of actuators;
- a peripheral processing unit configured to receive a set of parameter data from the plurality of actuators;
- a peripheral display device configured to present a subset of the set of parameter data;
- and a control assembly comprising the control display device, the method comprising:
- displaying a representation of a parameter value displayed as alphanumeric text on the control display device;
- and
- displaying an associated indication displayed as alphanumeric text and/or a symbol on the control display device, wherein at least a portion of the associated indication overlaps at least a portion of the representation of the parameter value, wherein the representation of the parameter value and the associated indication are readable simultaneously.
