Abstract
A medical device, such as a hemodialysis device or a peritoneal dialysis device includes a computation device, may be configured with an image-based support system, a method and/or a computer program for generating displayed instructional information for operation of the medical device. The computation device accesses a graphic memory on which instructional information is stored in a structured format having separately addressable sequences. An identification signal identifies individual sequences for dynamic display based on control data.
Claims18
A computation device for providing support during operation of a medical device, the computation device comprising:
- a memory interface connected to a graphic memory, wherein instructional information is stored on the graphic memory in a structured format comprising individually addressed instructional sequences;
- and
- a processor configured to cause an identification signal for identification of at least one instructional sequence to be transmitted to the graphic memory via the memory interface for accessing the graphic memory and the at least one instructional sequence to be obtained from the graphic memory via the memory interface, and further to generate instructional information for display based on the at least one obtained instructional sequence.
A system for providing support during operation of a medical device, the system comprising:
- a computation device comprising:
- a memory interface connected to a graphic memory, wherein instructional information is stored on the graphic memory in a structured format comprising individually addressed instructional sequences;
- and
- a processor configured to cause an identification signal for identification of at least one instructional sequence to be transmitted to the graphic memory via the memory interface for accessing the graphic memory and the at least one instructional sequence to be obtained from the graphic memory via the memory interface, and further to generate instructional information for display based on the at least one obtained instructional sequence;
- and
- a monitor configured to display the generated instructional information for display.
A method for providing support during operation of a medical device, the method comprising:
- providing, by a computation device, an identification signal to a graphic memory to access an instructional sequence identified by the identification signal, wherein instructional information is stored on the graphic memory in a structured format comprising a plurality of individually addressed instructional sequences;
- obtaining, by the computation device, the instructional sequence;
- and
- generating, by the computation device, instructional information for display based on the instructional sequence.
