Abstract
A hemofiltration machine at a local treatment site is linked to a remote main data base server by a local transmitting/receiving device. The machine acts as a satellite of the main data base server. The machine performs specified therapy tasks while monitoring basic safety functions and providing the person at the treatment location notice of safety alarm conditions for resolution. Otherwise, the machine transmits procedure data to the main data base server. The main data base server relieves the machine from major data processing tasks and related complexity. The main data base server, remote from the machine, controls the processing and distribution of the data, including the flow of information and data to the person undergoing therapy.
