Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a device for controlling blood processing equipment, particularly dialysis equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During the (extracorporeal) blood processing of a patient's blood using a blood processing device, multiple disposable items are used for each blood processing session, such as dialyzers, blood tubing systems, intravenous needles, or one or more dialysis concentrates contained in appropriate containers. These disposable items are connected to the blood processing device during the blood processing.

[0003] Typically, in blood processing equipment, the operating parameters of the blood processing equipment (such as the delivery rate of the blood pump or various values ​​associated with the corresponding blood processing type) can be set flexibly and without restriction to perform (the corresponding) blood processing.

[0004] However, from a clinical and / or regulatory perspective, depending on the disposable items used, certain blood processing equipment functions, specific types of blood processing, and corresponding blood processing equipment setups are often not recommended or permitted.

[0005] Entering operating parameters manually, based on the single-use supplies used, while considering all limitations associated with single-use supplies and / or the type of blood processing to be performed on the blood processing equipment, significantly increases the probability of errors in operating parameter operation or setting. This may lead to increased patient risk and / or prolonged time required to perform blood processing, particularly for healthcare personnel and / or patients.

[0006] EP 3 315 149 A1 discloses a method for inputting device parameters or treatment parameters into a blood purification device, wherein the parameters are assigned (registered) to available disposable items before input. When a disposable item registered in this manner is input, the corresponding parameters are loaded from that registration. Limitations associated with the disposable items are implemented during registration through the allocation between the disposable item and the parameters, using suggestions or restrictions. However, this document does not specify how to handle parameter limitations after pre-registration, especially in the event of subsequent changes deviating from the (pre)registration.

[0007] WO2022 / 238328A1 discloses a method for inputting parameters on a dialysis device, wherein a consistency procedure ensures compatibility between the parameters and the IDs of disposable items. Specifically, the method assumes that the ID of the disposable item can be uniquely assigned to the corresponding parameter constraint. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The object of this invention is to provide an improved device for controlling blood processing equipment.

[0009] This objective is achieved through the features of the independent claims. Various embodiments and further improvements of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

[0010] One aspect of the invention relates to an apparatus for controlling a blood processing device (in some embodiments, a dialysis device), comprising a control device and components of the blood processing device configured as input / output devices, wherein the blood processing device is configured to perform blood processing at least partially automatically using at least one disposable item and at least one value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing device under the control of the control device, wherein: The device (in some embodiments, an input / output device) is configured to acquire allocation rules in which at least one attribute (in some embodiments, a physical attribute) of at least one disposable item usable for blood processing is assigned to at least one value of the operating parameters (of the blood processing equipment) that can be used when performing blood processing, and The control device is configured to control at least one component (in some embodiments, an input / output device) of the blood processing device based on the allocation rules.

[0011] In some embodiments, the allocation rule is designed such that if at least one attribute of the disposable item is assigned to at least one value of at least one operating parameter (of the blood processing device) in the allocation rule, the corresponding disposable item is compatible with one or more values ​​of one or more operating parameters used to perform blood purification.

[0012] Therefore, in some embodiments, it is possible to prevent the use of disposable items with properties incompatible with the operating parameter values ​​used when performing blood purification to perform blood treatment, thereby improving patient safety and / or reducing the time required to perform blood treatment.

[0013] Furthermore, this allows for a simple way to account for the settings limitations related to single-use items in blood processing equipment during the blood processing process. In particular, it enables the continuous integration of these single-use item-related settings limitations into dynamic user guidance throughout the entire user interaction with the equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, since the control of at least one component of the blood processing equipment is based on the allocation rule (in which disposable item attributes are assigned to the operating parameters of the blood processing equipment), it is possible to perform compatibility checks based on disposable item attributes rather than on arbitrary disposable item IDs. This allows for the compatible use of unknown disposable items, i.e., those not identified by ID codes, without the need for continuous updates to acquire new (to date) unregistered disposable items.

[0015] Here, the allocation rules can be obtained, for example, by retrieving the allocation rules from the storage device of the blood purification device that stores the allocation rules or from an external storage unit (e.g., a cloud storage) that stores the allocation rules. In some embodiments, the retrieval is performed using the corresponding communication device of the blood processing device.

[0016] In some embodiments, the device is further configured to: Obtain at least one preset value for at least one operating parameter of the blood processing equipment to be used when performing blood processing, in some embodiments being preset values ​​stored in the storage device of the blood processing equipment; and / or The control device acquires at least one attribute, particularly a physical attribute, of at least one disposable item to be used when performing blood treatment, wherein the control device is configured to further control at least one component of the blood treatment device based on: at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood treatment device to be used when performing blood treatment; and / or the acquired at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used when performing blood treatment.

[0017] Therefore, in some embodiments, patient safety can be further improved and / or the time required to perform blood processing can be reduced.

[0018] In some embodiments, at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing equipment to be used when the blood processing equipment performs blood processing is obtained, wherein the device is configured to obtain at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing equipment to be used when the blood processing equipment performs blood processing, wherein, The device is configured to acquire at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing. Check whether at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment is assigned to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used during blood treatment in the allocation rule, and The control device is configured to further control at least one component of the blood processing device based on the results of the performed examination.

[0019] Therefore, in some embodiments, patient safety can be further improved and / or the time required to perform blood processing can be reduced.

[0020] In some embodiments, the control device is configured to: if at least one attribute of the acquired at least one disposable item to be used is assigned in the allocation rule to at least one preset value of the acquired at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment, then allow and / or initiate the blood treatment device to perform blood treatment using the acquired at least one preset value of the at least one operating parameter of the blood treatment device to be used when performing blood treatment. The control device is configured to: if at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used is not assigned to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment in the allocation rule, then prohibit the blood treatment device from performing blood treatment using at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment.

[0021] Therefore, in some embodiments, it can be ensured that disposable items with properties incompatible with at least one value of at least one operating parameter are not used to perform blood processing.

[0022] Here, the control device can be configured to: if confirmation is received at the input / output device regarding at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment, obtained via the input / output device, then allow and / or initiate the blood treatment device to perform blood treatment, wherein, The control device is configured to prevent the blood processing device from performing blood processing by disabling the confirmation of input at an input / output device of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing, acquired via the input / output device. Accordingly, the control device disables the confirmation of input at an input / output device of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing, acquired via the input / output device. Optionally, the input / output device is configured to: additionally output optical and / or acoustic warning information (generated by means of a control device in some embodiments) if the execution of blood processing by the blood processing device is prohibited or becomes prohibited; and / or the input / output device is configured to: output optical and / or acoustic information (generated by a control device in one embodiment) based on the allocation rule, which includes setting suggestions for at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood processing.

[0023] Therefore, in some embodiments, it is convenient to correctly set at least one value of at least one processing parameter.

[0024] In some embodiments, at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood treatment device to be used during blood purification is obtained. Accordingly, the device is configured to obtain at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood treatment device to be used during blood purification, wherein... The control device is configured to allow input (in some embodiments, using an input / output device) of at least one attribute of the at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing, only when at least one attribute of the at least one disposable item is assigned in the allocation rule to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing device to be used during blood processing. If input is received of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used, which is assigned at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment in the allocation rule, then the blood treatment device is allowed and / or started to perform blood treatment using at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood treatment device to be used when performing blood treatment. Accordingly, the control device is configured to: if input is received of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used, which is assigned at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment in the allocation rule, then the blood treatment device is allowed and / or started to perform blood treatment using at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood treatment device to be used when performing blood treatment.

[0025] Therefore, in some embodiments, it can (further) facilitate the correct setting of at least one operating parameter and, correspondingly, at least one value of the processing parameter.

[0026] In some embodiments, the function of "allowing input of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment only when at least one attribute of the at least one disposable item is assigned in the allocation rule to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood treatment device to be used when performing blood treatment" can be implemented by controlling the input / output device such that only these attributes of disposable items assigned to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood treatment device to be used when performing blood treatment are recommended for selection and input, for example by displaying them accordingly on the graphical user interface of a monitor.

[0027] In some embodiments, at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment is obtained, and the device is accordingly configured to obtain at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment, wherein, The device is configured to acquire at least one value of at least one operating parameter that will be used by the blood processing equipment when performing blood processing. If at least one attribute of the acquired at least one disposable item is assigned in the allocation rule to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing equipment to be used when performing blood processing, then the blood processing equipment is allowed and / or activated to perform blood processing or continue the blood processing currently being performed by the blood processing equipment using at least one value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing equipment to be used when performing blood processing. Accordingly, the control device is configured to: if at least one attribute of the acquired at least one disposable item is assigned in the allocation rule to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing equipment to be used when performing blood processing, then the blood processing equipment is allowed and / or activated to perform blood processing or continue the blood processing currently being performed by the blood processing equipment using at least one value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing equipment to be used when performing blood processing. If at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment is not assigned to at least one value of at least one operating parameter to be used during blood treatment in the allocation rule, then the blood treatment device is prohibited from using at least one value of at least one operating parameter to be used during blood treatment to perform blood treatment or continue the blood treatment currently being performed by the blood treatment device. Accordingly, the control device is configured to: if at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment is not assigned to at least one value of at least one operating parameter to be used during blood treatment in the allocation rule, then the blood treatment device is prohibited from using at least one value of at least one operating parameter to be used during blood treatment to perform blood treatment or continue the blood treatment currently being performed by the blood treatment device.

[0028] In some embodiments, if confirmation is received at an input / output device regarding at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment, obtained via the input / output device, then the blood treatment device is allowed and / or started to perform blood treatment or to continue the blood treatment currently being performed by the blood treatment device. Accordingly, the control device is configured to: if confirmation is received at an input / output device regarding at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment, obtained via the input / output device, then the blood treatment device is allowed and / or started to perform blood treatment or to continue the blood treatment currently being performed by the blood treatment device, wherein... The control device is configured to prevent the blood processing device from performing blood processing or continuing the blood processing currently being performed by the blood processing device by prohibiting the confirmation of the input of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing, which is obtained through the input / output device. Accordingly, the control device is configured to prevent the blood processing device from performing blood processing or continuing the blood processing currently being performed by the blood processing device by prohibiting the confirmation of the input of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing, which is obtained through the input / output device.

[0029] In some embodiments, obtaining at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment includes: obtaining input of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment via a graphical user interface of an input / output device; and / or downloading at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment from an external device via an input / output device; and / or scanning a code assigned to at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment via a scanning device of the input / output device, wherein the control device obtains at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood treatment based on the scanned code. In other words: the input / output device includes a graphical user interface configured to receive input of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing, to obtain at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing; and / or the input / output device is configured to download at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing, to obtain at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing; and / or the input device includes a scanning device configured to scan a code assigned to at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing, wherein the control device is configured to obtain at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing based on the scanned code, to obtain at least one attribute of at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing.

[0030] In some embodiments, at least one value of one of the at least one operating parameters is assigned to a corresponding different type of blood treatment. Here, the different types of blood treatment may include hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration, and pediatric blood treatment or dialysis.

[0031] In some embodiments, the at least one disposable item includes a dialyzer, a blood tubing system, an intravenous needle, and one or more dialysis concentrates, the dialysis concentrates preferably contained in a container.

[0032] Here, at least one attribute of the dialyzer may include the dialyzer's ultrafiltration coefficient, dialyzer volume, and dialyzer longitudinal resistance; at least one attribute of the blood tubing system may include the blood tubing system volume, blood tubing system flow resistance, and the suitability of the blood tubing system for pre-replacement, post-replacement, and / or mixed replacement during hemodialysis filtration replacement; and at least one attribute of the venous needle may include the venous needle flow resistance.

[0033] In some embodiments, the blood processing device includes a blood pump as another component, which can be fluidly connected to a dialyzer and an intravenous needle via a blood tubing system during blood processing, wherein at least one value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing device may include a value of the delivery rate of the blood pump.

[0034] Using the corresponding allocation in the allocation rules (and, if necessary, additional information generated by input / output devices), for example: Methods of filling and emptying blood tubing systems that are permitted, restricted, or prohibited as part of blood processing performed by a blood processing device. The filling and emptying methods of the blood tubing system should be adapted to the volume of the dialyzer and the blood tubing system. Based on the volume of the dialyzer and blood tubing system, allow, restrict, or prohibit pediatric / small-volume blood processing. Depending on whether the blood tubing system is designed for pre-replacement, post-replacement, and / or mixed replacement, it allows for the hemodiafiltration replacement process. The blood pump rate is limited by the longitudinal resistance of the dialyzer, as well as the flow resistance of the blood tubing system and the venous needle. Exclude incompatible / adverse combinations of dialysis concentrates, or use input / output devices to output relevant information to indicate the possible consequences: For example, when using a combination of different dialysis concentrates, if premature limitation occurs in the blood processing unit due to the potential for calcium deposition caused by high magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and / or calcium chloride (CaCl) content, the corresponding information can be output. When using double-bag / dry bicarbonate with acidic concentrate (this combination can only be used with liquid bicarbonate concentrate containing sodium chloride (NaCl), the corresponding information can be output; In cases where the dialysis concentrate to be used cannot be mixed to produce the prescribed dialysis solution due to its composition (e.g., if the potassium content does not match the prescription of the patient to be treated), the corresponding information can be output; Based on the volume of the dialysis concentrate container and the amount of dried dialysis concentrate filled, information can be output regarding whether the connected dialysis concentrate is sufficient to meet the duration of the selected treatment type.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] Figure 1 A blood processing device 100 is shown, which in some embodiments is a dialysis device, and can be controlled by means of an exemplary method for controlling the blood processing device 100, and includes a means 200 for controlling the blood processing device 100 according to the invention.

[0038] The blood treatment device 100 also includes a dialyzer 20, which is divided by a semipermeable membrane 25 into a blood chamber 26 and a dialysate chamber 27 through which dialysate flows. The blood chamber 26 is part of an extracorporeal blood circulation loop, while the dialysate chamber 27 is part of a dialysate system 28, which is shown only schematically here and includes a container 29 containing a dialysate concentrate 23, which is pumped into the dialysate chamber 27 by means of a dialysate pump 30.

[0039] The extracorporeal blood circulation circuit also includes a blood tubing system 21, which has an arterial blood passage 21-1 leading to the blood chamber 26 of the dialyzer 20 and a venous blood passage 21-2 leading out from the blood chamber 26 of the dialyzer 20. The end of the venous blood passage 21-2 is provided with a venous needle 22.

[0040] Here, the dialyzer 20, blood tubing system 21, intravenous needle 22, and dialysis concentrate 23 are all single-use items and can only be used for a single blood treatment.

[0045] In some embodiments, the allocation rule is designed such that if at least one attribute of disposable items 20, 21, 22, 23 is assigned to at least one value of at least one operating parameter in the allocation rule, then the corresponding disposable items 20, 21, 22, 23 are compatible with one or more values ​​of one or more operating parameters used to perform blood purification.

[0046] The allocation rules can be obtained, for example, by retrieving them from the storage device 13 of the blood purification device 100, which stores the allocation rules, or from an external storage unit 60 (e.g., a cloud storage device) that stores the allocation rules. In some embodiments, the retrieval is performed using the communication device 12 of the blood purification device 100, which is configured to communicate wirelessly with the communication device 61 of the external storage unit 60.

[0047] Here, the operating parameters of the blood processing device 100 may be, for example, the delivery rate of the blood pump 14. Furthermore, each value of at least one of the operating parameters may be assigned to a corresponding different type of blood processing.

[0052] Here, control of at least one component 11, 14 of the blood processing device 100 may be further performed based on at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing device 100 to be used when performing blood processing, and / or based on at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used when performing blood processing.

[0053] Obtaining at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used during blood processing may include: obtaining input from the graphical user interface of the input / output device 11 for at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used during blood processing performed by the user.

[0054] Alternatively or additionally, obtaining at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used in performing blood processing may include: downloading at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used in performing blood processing from an external device 40 via input / output device 11.

[0055] In addition, alternatively or additionally, obtaining at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used during blood processing may include scanning a code assigned to at least one disposable item to be used during blood processing using a scanning device of input / output device 11, wherein control device 10 is configured to obtain at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used during blood processing based on the scanned code.

[0056] If at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing device 100 to be used when performing blood processing is obtained, and at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used when performing blood processing is obtained, then in some embodiments, the blood processing device 100 (in particular the control device 10) may be configured to check whether the obtained at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used when performing blood processing is assigned to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood processing in the allocation rule.

[0057] In this case, control of at least one component 11, 14 of the blood processing device 100 can be further based on the results of the examinations performed.

[0058] Furthermore, in this case, the control device 10 can be configured to: allow and / or start the blood treatment device 100 to perform blood treatment using at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment if at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used is assigned to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment in the allocation rule; and prohibit the blood treatment device 100 from performing blood treatment using at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment if at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used is not assigned to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment in the allocation rule.

[0059] Specifically, in this case, the control device 10 can be configured to: allow and / or start the blood treatment device 100 to perform blood treatment if confirmation of the input of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used when performing blood treatment is obtained at the input / output device 11, and prevent the blood treatment device 100 from performing blood treatment by disabling confirmation of the input of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used when performing blood treatment is obtained at the input / output device 11.

[0060] Optionally, the blood processing device 100, particularly the device 200, can be configured to: if the execution of blood processing by the blood processing device 100 is prohibited, additionally generate (particularly by means of the control device 10) optical and / or acoustic warning information and output it by means of the input / output device 11, and / or generate (particularly by means of the control device 10) optical and / or acoustic information containing setting suggestions for at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood processing based on the allocation rules and output it by means of the input / output device 11.

[0061] In some embodiments, the blood processing device 100, particularly the apparatus 200, is configured to acquire at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing device 100 to be used when performing blood purification; and input of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used when performing blood purification is permitted (particularly using the input / output device 11) only when at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 is assigned in the allocation rule to at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter of the blood processing device 100 to be used when performing blood purification.

[0062] Here, the control device 10 is preferably configured to: if it receives input of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used, which is assigned at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment in the allocation rule, then it allows and / or starts the blood treatment device 100 to perform blood treatment using at least one preset value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment.

[0063] In some embodiments, the control device 10 is configured to acquire at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used when performing blood processing, and to acquire at least one value of at least one operating parameter to be used when the blood processing device 100 performs blood processing.

[0065] Furthermore, in this case, the control device 10 can be configured to: if at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used when performing blood treatment is not assigned to at least one value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment in the allocation rule, then prohibit the blood treatment device 100 from performing blood treatment using at least one value of at least one operating parameter to be used when performing blood treatment or from continuing the blood treatment currently performed by the blood treatment device 100.

[0066] In some embodiments, the control device 100 may be configured to allow and / or initiate blood processing or continue the blood processing currently being performed by the blood processing device 100 if confirmation of an input to the input / output device 11 for at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used during blood processing is received via the input / output device 11.

[0067] Furthermore, the control device 10 can be configured to prevent the blood processing device 100 from performing blood processing or to continue the blood processing currently being performed by the blood processing device 100 by prohibiting the confirmation of the input of at least one attribute of at least one disposable item 20, 21, 22, 23 to be used, which is input via the input / output device 11.
