Abstract: Various aspects and embodiments are directed to a streamlined computer device and a graphical user interface that organizes interface elements into views of computer content for presentation to a user. Various views of digital media content permits users to easily and efficiently access various digital media content. Different views are used to provide an interface that is responsive to configurations of the device and responsive to activity being performed by the user. Aspects include permitting the user to maintain and manage digital media content libraries. According to some embodiments, the libraries comprise user digital media content and references digital media content. Functionality provided to a user can be tailored to the type of content displayed, accessed and/or managed. According to various aspects, methods and systems are provided for accessing and managing digital media libraries on a streamlined computing device with a plurality selectable I/O profiles.

Abstract: A medical device includes a plurality of electromechanical components and a control unit, coupled to the electromechanical components, that actuates the electromechanical components. For each of the electromechanical components, the control unit maintains a count of a number of times a respective one of the electromechanical components is actuated and/or a run time duration of the respective one of the electromechanical components. The medical device also includes a table having observed values for each of the electromechanical components, where a maintenance alert is provided for at least one of the electromechanical components in response to the count and/or the run time for the at least one of the electromechanical components exceeding a corresponding maintenance limit for the electromechanical component. The maintenance limits are independent for different ones of the electromechanical components. The medical device may be a dialysis machine.

Abstract: Dialysis machines and methods for heating dialysate before delivery into a dialysis patient (e.g., peritoneal dialysis machines) may comprise a dialysis machine including one or more internal cooling components configured to expel heated air from the dialysis machine. A receptacle may be configured to receive one or more containers of dialysate. The one or more containers of dialysate may be positionable relative to the expelled heated air of the dialysis machine. The expelled heated air may be flowable around the one or more containers of dialysate to increase a temperature of the dialysate. The receptacle may include a stand for positioning the dialysis machine such that the expelled heated air is directed around the one or more containers of dialysate.

Abstract: A method and device for masking noise from a dialysis machine, as an example of a medical device, includes tubing or a fluid container, or both, being connectable to a patient for flowing fluid to or from the patient, and one or more sensors configured to detect one or more patient parameters. The dialysis machine further includes a controller configured to determine a sleep state of the patient based on the one or more patient parameters detected by the plurality of sensors, and adjust a masking sound in response to the sleep state of the patient. The masking sound is activatable in response to noise generated during operation of the dialysis machine.
