A head-mounted display device for interface with a medical device includes a frame configured to be mounted on a user's head, a display, a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a network, and a processing circuit. The medical device is configured to perform an invasive procedure on the person. The processing circuit receives a notification message from the medical device. The processing circuit records medical device information in response to receiving the notification message from the medical device.

Head-mounted display device for use in a medical facility

A head-mounted display device for interface with a blood processing machine using a disposable component having tubing and a blood component receptacle includes a frame configured to be mounted on a person's head and configured to hold a lens in front of an eye of the person. The display device includes a display, a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a network, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is coupled to the frame, the display and the wireless transceiver and receives instructions for training the person how to use the blood processing machine. The processing circuit overlays indicators, text, highlighting and/or icons on the blood processing machine as seen from a field of view of the person based on the instructions to train the person in using the blood processing machine.

A method of recording a state of an apheresis machine or a dialysis machine having a disposable component disposed thereon. The disposable component has tubing and a blood component bag. The disposable component is configured to be installed on the apheresis device or dialysis machine by a human operator. The method includes acquiring with a camera an image of a forward-facing external surface portion of the apheresis machine or dialysis machine and the tubing and the blood component bag of the disposable component. The image is acquired automatically without requiring user input. The method includes recording medical device information for the apheresis machine or dialysis machine comprising the image. The method includes generating a message comprising the image and transmitting the message comprising the image to a remote computer.

Medical device with camera for imaging disposable

A head-mounted display device interfaces with a blood processing machine. The display device has a frame for mounting on a person's head and configured to hold a lens in front of an eye of a wearer. The display device has a display, a wireless circuit configured to communicate with a network, a camera, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit retrieves instructions for servicing the blood processing machine and overlays indicators, text, highlighting and/or icons on the blood processing machine as seen from a field of view of the wearer based on the instructions. The wearer is thereby assisted in servicing the blood processing machine.

A system and method of recording a state of a medical device having a disposable component includes operating the medical device to provide a medical procedure using a disposable component. The disposable component is installed on an external surface of the medical device housing by a human operator and removable therefrom for disposal. The system and method include detecting an error condition on the medical device and, in response, acquiring an image from a camera coupled to the medical device. The image, representing the disposable component and the external housing, is stored in a memory of the medical device and is accessible for later retrieval.

Recording a state of a medical device

A head-mounted display device interfaces with a medical device configured to perform an invasive procedure on a patient. The display device includes a frame for mounting on a person's head, a display, a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a network, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is coupled to the frame, the display and the wireless transceiver and receives input data relating to the medical device. The processing circuit retrieves from a memory an instruction relating to the medical device based on the input data and displays the instruction relating to the medical device on the display.

Head mounted display device for use in a medical facility

A head-mounted display device for interface with a medical device configured to perform an invasive procedure on a patient, such as a blood component collection, an infusion, a feeding operation, etc.

Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are provided for disposable component authentication with respect to a biological fluid processing device instrument. An example instrument authentication system includes a computer facilitating configuration and operation of the biological fluid processing instrument using a disposable component. A first interface is provided by the computer and is used by a service technician to configure the biological fluid processing instrument for a number of disposable components and to provide a service technician with a validation code. A key generator is to accept the validation code from the service technician and generate an authentication key in response to the entered validation code. A second interface is provided by the computer, the second interface prompting the service technician to enter an authentication key, wherein the authentication key authorizes use of a certain number of disposable components for the biological fluid processing instrument.
