Abstract:
1. A therapy device for a treatment with settable target parameters, such as total ultrafiltration volume, treatment duration, maximum ultrafiltration rate, comprising a blood pressure device ( 24 ) and a regulating means ( 23 ) for a time-variable regulation of the blood pressure of a patient during a therapy procedure in dependence on detected blood pressure values, the regulating means deciding after each blood pressure measurement, in dependence on the blood pressure value detected, whether the blood regulation is continued with previously stored values or with real blood pressure values, and wherein the regulating means includes the following categories of blood pressure values in the regulation of the blood pressure: a) blood pressure values requested by the regulating means, or substituted with values of previous therapy procedures, at defined times according to an implemented time schedule in dependence on the target parameters of the treatment set at the therapy device, b) blood pressure values requested by measurement and evaluation devices for other physiological parameters at other times than under a) by irregular triggers (IRT) and/or quasi-regular triggers (QRT), and c) blood pressure values requested manually by medical staff at other times than under a) and b) by irregular triggers (IRT) and/or irregular triggers (QRT): and wherein the regulation means ( A acquiring, classifying and processing all blood pressure values obtained according to the categories a) to c), in dependence on the respective times of the measurements and corresponding to the respective times of the measurements and corresponding to the schedule for the blood pressure regulation predefined by the regulating means ( B substituting all blood pressure values of category a) with the obtained blood pressure values of categories b) and c), if these measurement values are transferred from the blood pressure meter to the regulating means within a predetermined tolerance period immediately before the times defined for the blood pressure values of category a), C establishing and storing an archive of the time profiles of the blood pressure in case of a plurality of therapy procedures, D obtaining as a template ( E regulating the blood pressure using the blood pressure values of categories a) to c), the values for scheduled times without blood pressure measurement being taken from the template (
