A medical system, comprising: a medical machine; and a gateway device configured to communicate with the medical machine to allow access to a network, the gateway device comprising a data allowance and limitation unit that is configured to limit communication between the medical machine and the network when the data allowance and limitation unit is in an open state, wherein the data allowance and limitation unit is placed in the open state when a plannable system event occurs, and wherein, while in the open state, the data allowance and limitation unit is placed in a closed state when an unplanned event occurs, thereby providing less limited communication between the medical machine and the network compared to the open state.

Managing communications with a connected health system

A dialysis system includes a sorbent device positioned along a fluid circuit for regenerating dialysate during a dialysis treatment carried out at the dialysis system, a filter coupled to an outlet of the sorbent device such the any fluid flowing through the sorbent device must first flow through the filter before reentering the fluid circuit, and a pump positioned downstream of the filter along the fluid circuit. The pump is operable between first and second dialysis treatments carried out at the dialysis system to circulate a fluid through the sorbent device to prevent matter within the sorbent device from solidifying and circulate the fluid through the filter to remove contaminants from the fluid.

Preserving sorbent devices in dialysis systems

A computer-implemented method, a medical device, and a system for acquiring user-specific customization data, i.e. user-specific language packages, are provided. The computer-implemented method comprises: determining a first set of user-specific customization data stored on the medical device; comparing the first set of user-specific customization data with a second set of user-specific customization data that is required by a user; and upon determining that the second set of user-specific customization data is different from the first set of user-specific customization data, acquiring, from a data storage external to the medical device, the second set of user-specific customization data or a delta between the first set and the second set of user-specific customization data.

Acquiring user-specific customization data for a medical device

A method of preserving a sorbent device of a dialysis system, the method comprising&#x2014;after administering a first dialysis treatment at the dialysis system and before administering a second dialysis treatment at the dialysis system&#x2014;circulating a fluid through the sorbent device to prevent matter within the sorbent device from solidifying and circulating the fluid through a filter coupled to an outlet of the sorbent device to remove contaminants from the fluid.
