  • Publication number: 20240091422
    Abstract: A renal therapy system is disclosed. In an example, the renal therapy system includes a home renal therapy machine that stores, to a log file, dates of when renal therapies were performed and a type of each renal therapy that was performed. The system also includes a server that receives the log file from the home renal therapy machine. The server compares the dates and types of performed renal therapies stored in the log file to a device program that specifies dates for performing renal therapies and the types of renal therapies to be performed. The server displays a flag in a user interface of a clinician computer when there is a deviation from the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20220249729
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved combination LED light troffer and passive UVGI air chamber for providing both general lighting and disinfection of contaminated used air that is cleaned, treated, and purified before returning back to the HVAC system for recycling. The improvement including an internal and quiet UVGI air chamber that uses natural air convection from the HVAC system to take in air for sanitizing inside the UVGI air chamber for a brief amount of time, and then releasing it out to the air return of the HVAC system. The UVGI air chamber being operational only when the HVAC system is active and independent of the operation of the LED light troffer for general lighting. UVC light sources include germicidal fluorescent lamps, cold cathode lamps, excimer type lamps, and UVC type LED emitters in different UVC wavelengths.
