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 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 first dependent control setting level for a first dependent control setting and based on the first independent control level; e. temporarily storing the first independent and dependent control setting levels; f. displaying the first independent control setting level and the selected dependent control setting level, g. implementing both the first independent control setting level and the second dependent control setting level to control the device during a first renal therapy by actuating a first batch setting acceptance operation; h. after step g and 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 based on the second independent control setting level; 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.
