User interface for blood treatment device

A method for batch implementation of settings in a renal therapy device comprising at least one fluid pump connectable to a detachable extracorporeal blood circuit, at least one pressure sensor monitoring pressure in a blood line of the blood circuit, a controller regulating the at least one fluid pump according to stored control settings and inputs for the at least one pressure sensor and a user interface, said method comprising:

• a. displaying on the user interface a plurality of control settings which may be manually selected by an operator;
• b. selecting a first independent control setting of the plurality of control settings;
• c. manually adjusting the first independent control setting to a first independent control setting level selected;
• d. automatically establishing a limit for a first dependent control setting level based upon the first independent control setting level;
• e. after step d, substantially simultaneously implementing both the first independent and dependent control setting levels to control the device during a first renal therapy by actuating a batch setting acceptance operation;
• f. after step (e), selecting the first dependent control setting for manual adjustment, wherein the selection converts the first dependent control setting to a second independent control setting and converts the first independent control setting to a second dependent control setting;
• g. manually adjusting the second independent control setting to an second independent control setting level selected;
• h. automatically establishing a limit for the second dependent control setting level based upon the second independent control setting level, and
• i. after step h, implementing both the second independent control setting level and the second dependent control setting level to control the device during a second renal therapy by actuating a batch setting acceptance operation.

A method for batch implementation of settings in a renal therapy device comprising a blood pump and a filtrate pump both connectable to a detachable extracorporeal blood circuit, at least one pressure sensor monitoring pressure in a blood line of the blood circuit, a controller regulating the blood and filtrate pumps according to stored control settings and inputs for the at least one pressure sensor and a user interface, said method comprising:

• a. manually selecting a first blood flow rate using the user interface;
• b. temporarily storing the first blood flow rate before implementing the first blood flow rate to control the device;
• c. automatically establishing a first filtration limit based upon the selected first blood flow rate;
• d. after step c, manually selecting a second filtration rate limit using the user interface;
• e. temporarily storing the second filtration rate limit;
• f. automatically changing the first blood flow rate to a second blood flow rate based upon the selected filtration rate limit, without first implementing the second blood flow rate, and
• g. implementing the selected second filtration rate limit and the second blood flow rate by actuating a batch setting acceptance operation.

A method for batch implementation of settings in a renal therapy device comprising at least one fluid pump connectable to a detachable extracorporeal blood circuit, at least one pressure sensor monitoring pressuring in a blood line of the blood circuit, a controller regulating the at least one fluid pump according to stored control settings and inputs for the at least one pressure sensor and a user interface, said method comprising:

• a. displaying on the user interface a plurality of control settings which may be manually selected by an operator;
• b. selecting a first control setting of the plurality of control settings, wherein the selection of the first control setting establishes the selected setting as a first independent control setting;
• c. manually adjusting the first independent control setting to a first independent control setting level selected;
• d. temporarily storing the first independent control setting level without first implementing the first control setting level to control the device;
• e. automatically adjusting a first dependent control setting level based upon the first independent control setting level and without implementing the first dependent control setting level to control the device;
• f. displaying the first independent control setting level and the first dependent control setting level;
• g. implementing both the first independent control setting level and the first dependent control setting level to control the device for a first renal therapy by actuating a first batch setting acceptance operation;
• h. in preparation for a second renal therapy, converting the first dependent control setting to a second independent control setting and converting the first independent control setting to a second dependent control setting;
• i. manually adjusting the second independent control setting to a second independent control setting level;
• j. automatically establishing a second dependent control setting level for the second dependent control setting;
• k. displaying the second independent and dependent control setting levels;
• and
• l. implementing the second independent and dependent control setting levels to control the device during the second renal therapy by actuating a second batch setting acceptance operation.
