Extracorporeal blood treatment alarm docking
Extracorporeal blood treatment systems and methods to display information related to an alarm issued during extracorporeal blood treatments. For example, when an alarm is issued, an alarm region may be depicted on a graphical user interface. The alarm region may be configured to be docked into another region of the graphical user interface to, e.g., expose an operations region, etc.
1. An extracorporeal blood treatment system comprising:
a display apparatus comprising a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to depict an operations region; and
a computing apparatus comprising one or more processors operatively coupled to the display apparatus, wherein the computing apparatus is configured to:
display on the graphical user interface the operations region;
issue an alarm indicating an issue with an extracorporeal blood treatment being performed;
display, when an alarm is issued, an alarm region in the operations region, wherein the alarm region comprises information relevant to the issued alarm; and
allow a user to dock the alarm region to another region of the graphical user interface other than the operations region.
2. A method for an extracorporeal blood treatment system comprising:
providing a graphical user interface configured to depict an operations region;
displaying on the graphical user interface the operations region;
issuing an alarm indicating an issue with an extracorporeal blood treatment being performed;
displaying, when an alarm is issued, an alarm region in the operations region, wherein the alarm region comprises information relevant to the issued alarm; and
allowing a user to dock the alarm region to another region of the graphical user interface other than the operations region.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein a status region is further displayed on the graphical user interface, and wherein the alarm region is docked to the status region.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the operations region is larger than the status region.
5. An extracorporeal blood treatment system comprising:
a display apparatus comprising a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to depict a dock region; and
a computing apparatus comprising one or more processors operatively coupled to the display apparatus, wherein the computing apparatus is configured to:
display on the graphical user interface the dock region;
issue an alarm indicating an issue with an extracorporeal blood treatment being performed;
display, when an alarm is issued, an alarm region on the graphical user interface, wherein the alarm region comprises information relevant to the issued alarm; and
allow a user to dock the alarm region to the dock region.
6. A method for an extracorporeal blood treatment system comprising:
providing a graphical user interface configured to depict a dock region;
displaying on the graphical user interface the dock region;
issuing an alarm indicating an issue with an extracorporeal blood treatment being performed;
displaying, when an alarm is issued, an alarm region on the graphical user interface, wherein the alarm region comprises information relevant to the issued alarm; and
allowing a user to dock the alarm region to the dock region.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the alarm region further comprises a dock area configured to be selected by a user to dock the alarm region.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein animation is used to show the alarm region moving and shrinking as the alarm region is being docked.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the alarm region further comprises a mute area configured to be selected by a user to mute the alarm.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the alarm is muted automatically when the alarm is docked.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the alarm region is further configured to depict an amount of time remaining prior to un-muting the alarm after being muted.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the mute area is selectable by a user to reset the amount of time remaining prior to un-muting the alarm.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to execute allowing, when the alarm region is docked, a user to undock the alarm region.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the docked alarm region further comprises an undock area configured to be selected by a user to undock the alarm region.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the alarm region further comprises at least one action area, wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to execute displaying on the graphical user interface, when an action area of the at least one action area is selected, an instruction region comprising information relevant to curing the issued alarm.
16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the alarm region further comprises at least one action area, wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to execute displaying on the graphical user interface, when an action area of the at least one action area is selected, more information relevant to the issued alarm.
17. The system of claim 1 , wherein an operations region is displayed on the graphical user interface, wherein the operations region comprises a plurality of fluid areas, wherein each fluid area of the plurality of fluid areas depicts a flow rate, and further wherein, when an alarm is issued, the alarm region is depicted at least partially over the plurality of fluid areas.
18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to execute disabling, when the alarm region is displayed on the graphical user interface without being docked, a user from interacting with any portion the graphical user interface except the alarm region.
19. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to execute, allowing, when the alarm region is docked, a user to interact with the graphical user interface.
20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing apparatus is further configured to execute removing, when the alarm is cured, the alarm region from the graphical user interface.
21. The system of claim 1 , wherein the size of the alarm region is scaled based on a severity of the issued alarm or a status light may be activated in a mode corresponding to the alarm.
22. The system of claim 1 , wherein a status region is further displayed on the graphical user interface, wherein the status region comprises therapy information relevant to the extracorporeal blood treatment being performed, wherein the alarm region is docked to the status region, and wherein, when the alarm region is docked in the status region, the alarm region comprises at least a portion of the therapy information of the status region.
23. The system of claim 1 , wherein a dock region is displayed on the graphical user interface, wherein a plurality of alarm regions are docked and displayed in one or more alarm dock areas of the dock region.
