Remote control for extracorporeal blood processing machines

摘要

A remote control sub-system for use in controlling a fluid circuit wherein the fluid circuit includes at least one tubing segment which is operatively engaged with a flow control device such as a pump so that the pump is operable to force fluid to flow in and through the tubing segment. The remote control sub-system has a remote control device with a switching member operatively connected thereto; the remote control device being disjoined from the flow control device yet being disposed in operative communication therewith such that activation of the switching member is effective to turn on or off the flow control device to start or stop the flow of fluid through the tubing segment.
