Abstract:
1. 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 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 value; d. automatically establishing a first limit for a first dependent control setting level based upon the first value; e. after step d, substantially simultaneously implementing both the first value and the first limit by actuating a batch setting acceptance operation, wherein the implemented first value and first limit are used to control the renal therapy device during a first renal therapy; 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 a second value; h. automatically establishing a second limit for the second dependent control setting based upon the second value, and i. after step h, implementing both the second value and the second limit by actuating a batch setting acceptance operation, wherein the second value and second limit are used to control the device during a second renal therapy.
