  • Patent number: 11948673
    Abstract: A blood purification system is provided that is capable of effectively utilizing accumulated histories stored during blood purification treatment and that helps take a quick and appropriate action in response to any event that occurs unsteadily or any transition of a parameter. The blood purification system includes an extracting unit that searches histories accumulated in a storage unit and extracts, as reference histories, a plurality of histories each including any of events having occurred during the current session of blood purification treatment or a plurality of histories each including a parameter approximate to that observed during the current session of blood purification treatment; a list-creating unit that creates a list of the plurality of reference histories extracted by the extracting unit; and a display control unit that controls the list created by the list-creating unit to be displayed on a display unit.

  • Patent number: 11642446
    Abstract: A blood purification system is provided that is capable of effectively utilizing accumulated histories stored during blood purification treatment and that helps take a quick and appropriate action in response to a particular incident that occurs unsteadily. In a blood purification system, a history stored in a storage device includes particular incidents having occurred unsteadily in blood purification treatment. The blood purification system includes an extracting device capable of searching the histories accumulated in the storage device and extracting a desired one of the particular incidents, a calculating device capable of calculating a time when the particular incident extracted by the extracting device occurs a predetermined or more number of times as a frequent-occurrence time slot, and a display control device capable of displaying the frequent-occurrence time slot calculated by the calculating device on a display during a current session of blood purification treatment.

  • Publication number: 20200114059
    Abstract: A blood purification system is provided that is capable of effectively utilizing histories stored during blood purification treatment and that helps realize history search suitable for individual purposes of extraction, thereby increasing the reliability of information to be extracted and displayed. The blood purification system includes an extracting unit that searches for and extracts any history satisfying a predetermined condition from among histories stored in a storage unit, an excluding unit f that excludes any of the histories stored in the storage unit from an object of search performed by the extracting unit, and a display control unit that controls various pieces of information based on the history extracted by the extracting unit to be displayed on a display unit.

  • Publication number: 20130014593
    Abstract: A vessel is attached to a pressure guiding tube near the point of connection between a process pipe and a pressure transmitter. Doing so increases the rate of deformation, relative to a change in pressure, of a fluid when the fluid is a compressible fluid, making the change in the pressure fluctuation more easily detected, thereby increasing the sensitivity of detection of blockages in the pressure guiding tube. If the fluid is a non-compressible fluid, then a part that has a diaphragm (a pressure bearing surface that deforms easily through pressure) is connected instead of the vessel.
