Abstract: Extracorporeal blood treatment systems and methods to display graphical user interfaces displaying a plurality of fluids areas, each including a flow rate, and displaying adjustment notifications proximate one or more fluid areas. For example, when a user adjusts a flow rate to a limit, one or more notifications may be displayed proximate other flow rates that may be adjusted to modify the limit.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions including an active ingredient and a stabilizer, as well as methods of manufacture of the compositions, and methods of their use. The composition may include the active ingredient dispersed throughout a matrix of the stabilizer. In some embodiments, the active ingredient and the stabilizer are intimately mixed in a matrix formulation. In some embodiments, the active ingredient is selected from 4 amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)butanoic acid) (“baclofen”) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

Abstract: Extracorporeal blood treatment systems and methods to use and modify/create treatment profiles for extracorporeal blood treatments. For example, treatment profiles may include one or more preset, or predefined, settings or values for an extracorporeal blood treatment such as, e.g., therapy type, therapy set (e.g., tubing set, filter set, etc.), anticoagulation type, and one or more flow rates, etc.

Abstract: Extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus with reservoir status lights and methods of monitoring reservoir status using the same are described. The extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus include a plurality of reservoir scales (30), each of which is configured to weigh a reservoir (32) used in connection with the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus. A plurality of reservoir status lights (40) are provided, with one or more of the reservoir status lights (40) associated with one of the reservoir scales (30). The one or more reservoir status lights (40) associated with one of the reservoir scales (30) emit light from a location that is closer to their associated reservoir scale than to any other reservoir scale of the extracorporeal blood treatment apparatus.

Abstract: A percutaneous electrical phrenic nerve stimulation (PEPNS) system that measures the patient Work of Breathing (WOB) of each type of ventilator breath and determines when to deliver electrical stimulus based upon the measured WOB. The PEPNS system alters its behavior based upon the type and origin of the ventilator breath delivered and provides warnings for certain identified interactions between the ventilator and the patient.

Abstract: A system and method are presented that electrically stimulates the phrenic nerve whereby said stimulation results in muscle activation of the diaphragm as observed by a measurement of work or power of breathing associated with the inspiratory portion of a stimulated breath.

Abstract: A patient fluid removal compensation volume may be determined to make up for the patient fluid removal that does not occur during machine down times, and the patient fluid removal rate may be increased until the compensating volume is satisfied.

Abstract: Syringe pump apparatus and methods for detecting proper or improper engagement of a syringe pump drive system with a syringe in the syringe pump are disclosed. The apparatus and methods can determine proper or improper engagement between a drive system and the plunger of a syringe in a syringe pump by detecting the force required to move a plunger clip in reverse while restricting flow into the syringe. The apparatus and methods may also be used to determine that a syringe in the syringe pump apparatus is properly connected to a delivery line.
