HEMODIALYSIS PATIENT DATA ACQUISITION, MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM

摘要

A hemodialysis patient data acquisition and management system resides on a host computer (90) which receives information from one or more non-invasive, optical blood monitors (14) associated with a hemodialysis system (12). When a patient (10) is undergoing hemodialysis treatment, a sensor assembly (34) monitors the patient's blood flowing through the hemodialysis system and a controller (35) for the blood monitor generates data which includes at least an identification code for the patient undergoing the treatment on the respective system, and non-invasively determined blood data taken at the onset of the scheduled treatment, such as initial Hgb, HCT, and SAT values. A host computer communicates with the one or more optical blood monitors, preferably via a wireless network, and the patient's session commencement data is downloaded to the host computer. The host computer includes a patient database (93), as well as screen displays (102) for displaying historical date for individual patients, such as Hgb trends.
