SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING AND CORRECTING DEFECTS AND TUBING INSTALLATION ERRORS FOR BLOOD PROCESSING SYSTEMS

摘要

A system is provided for processing blood from a blood source. The system cooperates with a disposable fluid flow circuit including a tubing line that is associated with a clamp of the system. The system also includes a sensor and a controller, which cooperate to determine whether the fluid flow circuit and/or the system itself is defective and/or if the fluid flow circuit has been installed onto the system improperly. If such an error or defect exists, then the controller determines whether a selected system state exists. The controller causes a change in the appearance of the display of the system, which includes displaying an interactive icon if the selected system state exists. The icon, when manipulated, causes the clamp to move from the closed condition to an open condition.

主权项

1. A graphical user interface of a durable blood processing system including a clamp and configured for use in combination with a disposable fluid flow circuit including a tubing line associable with the clamp, the graphical user interface comprising:
a display; and a controller associated with the display, wherein the controller is programmed to determine the existence of an error in the way in which the fluid flow circuit is associated with the blood processing system and/or a defect in the fluid flow circuit and/or the blood processing system and, upon determining the existence of said error and/or defect,
determine whether a selected system state exists, andcause a change in the appearance of the display to represent the existence of said error and/or defect, wherein, if the selected system state exists, the change in the appearance of the display includes displaying an interactive icon on the display that may be manipulated to cause the clamp to be moved from a closed condition to an open condition.
