Abstract: A home therapy machine is configured to perform a home therapy on a patient at a home or dwelling of the patient. The home therapy machine includes at least one processor operating a connectivity agent having an activated mode and a deactivated mode. When the connectivity agent is in the activated mode, the at least one processor is able to send data to and receive data from a system hub. When the connectivity agent is in the deactivated mode, the at least one processor is not able to send data to or receive data from the system hub. The home therapy machine further includes a user interface configured to receive a patient selection of a device program received from the system hub and at least one pump under control of the at least one processor for performing the home therapy according to the selected device program.

Abstract: A patient care system is disclosed that includes a medical device such as an infusion pump. The medical device generates a data message containing information such as the status of the therapy being delivered, operating data or both. An alarm generating system assesses the data message from the pump and generates an alarm message if certain conditions established by a first set of rules are met. The alarm message is assessed according to a second set of rules as to whether to suppress the alarm message. The data message contains a required input for both the first and second algorithms. A dispatching system is adapted to forward the alarm message to an alarm destination according to a third set of rules. The alarm destination expresses an alarm upon receipt of the alarm message.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, devices, and methods for delivering substances such as fluids, solutions, medications, and drugs to patients using infusion devices having a set of advanced features. These advanced features include aspects related to the programming of infusion devices, the configuration of infusion sequences performed by the infusion devices, and the interconnection of multiple infusion devices for interoperation during an infusion having a sequence of infusion steps.

Abstract: A computer readable medium stores instructions configured to cause a home therapy machine to allow an at home patient selection of a device program from a plurality of device programs stored on the home therapy machine and perform an at home treatment using fluid flow equipment provided by the home therapy machine according to the selected device program. The instructions are further configured to receive data generated during the at home treatment and generate at least one log file based upon the received data.

Abstract: A method for performing renal therapy at a home or dwelling of a patient using a renal therapy machine includes electronically retrieving a doctor's prescription for renal therapy and based on the doctor's prescription, enabling electronic selection of supplies, including a dialyzer, at a first location other than the patient's home or dwelling by a person other than the patient. The method further includes electronically initiating a sending of the supplies and the renal therapy machine to the patient's home or dwelling.

Abstract: A home therapy entry, modification and reporting system includes a website configured to display therapy entry, modification and reporting information and a system hub configured to manage a flow of the information between the website and a plurality of home therapy machines. The website specifically includes a therapy prescription screen configured to specify supplies needed at the patient's home or dwelling for operation with one of the home therapy machines, a device program screen configured to set parameters by which at least one of the home therapy machines operates to perform the home therapy on the patient, and a clinician dashboard screen including a list of patients and a notification associated with at least one of the listed patients, the notification indicating whether a predefined treatment condition or alert occurred during the home therapy.

Abstract: An infusion system and pump with configurable closed loop delivery rate catch-up including an infusion system having a medication management unit and a medical device. The medication management unit has programming code to: provide a graphical user interface for modifying a drug library; receive a catch-up rate factor; update the drug library with the catch-up rate factor; and transmit the updated drug library to the medical device. The medical device has programming code to: receive the updated drug library; receive a desired infusion rate; calculate expected accumulated infusion volume from the desired infusion rate; request delivery of the infusion at the desired infusion rate; determine actual accumulated infusion volume at a particular time; increase the infusion rate by the catch-up rate factor to generate a catch-up infusion rate when at the particular time the actual accumulated infusion volume is less than expected; and request infusion at the catch-up infusion rate.
