The invention relates to the field of medical fluid management devices, in particular dialysis machines. The object of the invention is to design methods and devices, such that the monitoring and control of medical fluid management devices from a remote site are possible. To do so, the screen content of the output device of a fluid management device is transmitted at least partially to an output device of a remote control unit. The screen content optionally has user interfaces, which can be selected on the remote control device and lead to changes in the control of the transmitting medical fluid management device.

Method and device for remote monitoring and control of medical fluid management devices

A method and device that relates to the field of medical fluid management devices, in particular dialysis machines, provided. The method and device is configured to provide for the monitoring and control of medical fluid management devices from a remote site. To do so, the screen content of the output device of a fluid management device is transmitted at least partially to an output device of a remote control unit. The screen content optionally has user interfaces, which can be selected on the remote control device and lead to changes in the control of the transmitting medical fluid management device.

The invention relates to a device A for monitoring a vessel opening for an extracorporeal blood treatment device B with an extracorporeal blood circulation (I), which has an arterial blood line () with an arterial cannula () and a venous blood line () with a venous cannula (). Moreover, the invention relates to an arrangement with a device A for monitoring a vessel opening and an extracorporeal blood treatment device B, and a method for monitoring a vessel opening during an extracorporeal blood treatment. The monitoring device A comprises a sensor () for detecting at least one physical variable, which is characteristic for the state of the vessel opening, and an evaluation apparatus (), connected to the sensor () by way of a connection cable (), for producing signals characteristic for the state of the vessel opening. The evaluation apparatus () has a data transmission unit () for establishing a wireless connection between the evaluation apparatus () and the blood treatment device B. The evaluation apparatus () is distinguished by a control unit () configured in such a way that an interruption in the wireless connection between the evaluation apparatus () and the blood treatment device B is identified, for example if the patient were to lie on the evaluation apparatus (). Moreover, the monitoring device A has a signal unit (), which has a vibration transducer (A) which causes the housing () of the evaluation apparatus () to vibrate when the wireless connection is interrupted.

An apparatus for extracorporeal blood treatment has a dialysis fluid circuit and a blood circuit which are separated by a dialyzer. Arranged in the dialysis fluid circuit there is a sterile filter for producing a sterile dialysis fluid which flows into the dialyzer. To check the sterile filter, a chemical and/or physical property of the dialysis fluid, for example the conductivity, is changed upstream of the sterile filter, and the change in the property of the dialysis fluid is detected downstream of the sterile filter. From the time shift between the initiation of the conductivity impulse and the detection of the latter, it is possible to tell whether the blood treatment apparatus is fitted with a sterile filter. Moreover, the volume of the sterile filter can be inferred from the length of the time shift.

The invention relates to a medical treatment system, which has at least one device for carrying out a medical treatment, in particular dialysis treatment and a device for providing patient-related data. The patient-related data is stored by the server and the data can be displayed in a patient mode on a screen. The dialysis system has various security features, which prevent an erroneous input and the erroneous display of patient-related data in the patient mode on the screen.
