Abstract
Fluid processing systems and methods make use of a replenishable source containing a volume of a processing fluid that is dispensed during a processing period. A processor serves to sequentially pause and resume the processing period. The processor records weight values of the source at commencement of the processing period; upon pauses in the processing period; and upon resumptions of the processing period. At termination of the processing period, the processor generates a total volume value of processing fluid dispensed from the source during the processing period, which takes into account replenishment of the processing fluid when the processing period is paused. The systems and methods can be integrated into blood processing circuits to monitor the introduction of anticoagulant.
