Batch parameter settings in a medical apparatus

摘要

Methods for setting mutually dependent parameters of a microprocessor controlled medical apparatus are disclosed. Mutually dependent parameters may be set by displaying mutually dependent parameter settings, displaying possible values for at least one parameter setting, whereby limits of the range of possible values is mutable and is automatically determined based on the current parameter settings, adjusting a parameter setting upon manual selection by an operator, automatically determining and displaying the value of at least one parameter setting depending on the parameter setting that is adjusted by the operator, whereby the determination of the dependent parameter setting is based on a stored relationship between parameter settings, implementing the set of adjusted parameter settings by actuating a batch setting acceptance operation, and operating the medical apparatus based on the set of adjusted parameter settings.

主权项

1. A microprocessor controlled medical apparatus for setting parameters, said medical apparatus comprising,
a user interface for setting an adjustable parameter and at least one dependent parameter; a screen for displaying the adjustable parameter and the at least one dependent parameter; a storage unit in which a set of rules is stored, the set of rules defining relationships between the adjustable parameter and the at least one dependent parameter; wherein in real time and upon a change of the adjustable parameter, a range of the at least one dependent parameter, including an upper limit of the range and a lower limit of the range, is determined as a function of the set of rules defining relationships between the adjustable parameter and the at least one dependent parameter; wherein the range of the at least one dependent parameter, including the upper limit and lower limit of the range, is automatically determined and adjusted during a therapy using the medical apparatus and wherein the automatic determination and adjustment occur as a function of a therapy time; and wherein the determined upper limit of the range and the determined lower limit of the range is displayed on the screen in real time and as the adjustable parameter is changed.
