Abstract: Techniques are described for a computing device to receive from a user, a selection of EEI drawn from a list of EEI. A method includes (a) receiving a relative selection criterion from the user, the relative selection criterion including a target value for a first feature of the EEI and a direction of comparison; (b) filtering out, from the list, EEI having values for the first feature that are outside the direction of comparison from the target value; (c) sorting remaining EEI from the list based on closeness of the first feature to the target value, yielding a sorted order; (d) displaying the remaining EEI in the sorted order on a display screen; and (e) receiving a selection of EEI from the displayed EEI from the user via a user interface device. A system, apparatus, and computer program product for performing this method and similar methods are also described.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to medical fluid cassettes and related systems and methods. In certain aspects, a medical fluid cassette includes a base having a first region and a second region, a first membrane overlying the first region of the base, and a second membrane overlying the second region of the base. The second membrane is configured to rebound away from the base when a force used to press the second membrane toward the base is released.

Abstract: A medical fluid delivery cassette configured for use with a medical fluid pumping system and related systems and methods. The medical fluid delivery cassette includes a base and a membrane that together define a fluid pump chamber. The medical fluid delivery cassette further includes a member configured to apply an outward force to an inner surface of the membrane.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to medical fluid delivery sets and related systems and methods. In some aspects of the invention, a medical fluid cassette includes a plunger slidably disposed within a recess of a base of the cassette such that a substantially liquid-tight seal is maintained between the plunger and the base as the plunger slides axially within the recess. The plunger and the base cooperate to at least partially define a fluid pump chamber. When the plunger is displaced in a first direction, fluid is forced out of the fluid pump chamber, and when the plunger is displaced in a second direction, fluid is drawn into the fluid pump chamber.

Abstract: A lightweight, easy-to-assemble, and portable cart for the performance of peritoneal dialysis is disclosed. The cart includes a top shelf, bottom shelf, and at least four adjustable connecting members or legs. The top shelf has a top surface designed to receive a PD cycler, and at least one hook to hang bags of solution. Various components of the cart include a plastic and foaming agent additive.

Abstract: A remotely managed expandable multi-user computer system is provided. The computer system includes a removable compute cartridge and a removable storage cartridge allowing easy upgrade of the computer system. The computer system self-configures when powered on to allow remote management by another system over a network. Automatic failover support is provided without the need for a separate compute element. A self-configurable removable secure-to-wireless converter to couple to a client computer system allows secure communications between the multi-user system and the client computer system via a wireless network.

Abstract: Scheduling the processing of threads by scheduling a datagram from an input queue among a plurality of input queues to a thread for processing. The scheduling includes computing an output position in an output queue, communicating with a plurality of threads for processing, and assigning the datagram to one of said plurality of threads for processing. After processing the datagram, the processing thread enqueus the datagram in the output queues at the output position specified by the scheduled output position.
