WIRELESS CONTROLLER TO NAVIGATE AND ACTIVATE SCREENS ON A MEDICAL DEVICE

摘要

A system provides non-contact communication between a controller and a medical device. The control signal may be a wirelessly transmitted control signal, such as a wireless radiofrequency signal and/or an optical or acoustic signal, for example. An interface device is provided that may be a remote controller or switch that may be used by a user, such as a health care practitioner (HCP), in connection with navigating and activating screens of a dialysis machine during a dialysis treatment without requiring the HCP to physically contact the dialysis machine. With the described system, the HCP does not need to re-glove each time a change is made to an on-going dialysis treatment when interfacing with a graphical display of the dialysis machine.
