    Abstract: A medical error reduction system may include a medical error reduction software for use in creating and revising at least one drug library. The software configured to provide one of a plurality of sets of privileges to each of a plurality of sets of users. Each of the plurality of sets of privileges arranged to allocate a degree of software functionality to one of the plurality of sets ofusers. The degree of software functionality configured to define the ability of a user to alter the at least one drug library. The medical error reduction system may include at least one server. The medical error reduction system may include at least one editor computer each of the at least one editor computer comprising a processor in communication with a display. The at least one editor computer and at least one server may be configured to communicate via a network in a client-server based model. Each of the at least one drug library may be for use in at least one medical device.

    Abstract: A medical treatment system, such as peritoneal dialysis system, may include control and other features to enhance patient comfort and ease of use. For example, a peritoneal dialysis system may include a control system that can adjust the volume of fluid infused into the peritoneal cavity to prevent the intraperitoneal fluid volume from exceeding a predetermined amount. The control system can adjust by adding one or more therapy cycles, allowing for fill volumes during each cycle to be reduced. The control system may continue to allow the fluid to drain from the peritoneal cavity as completely as possible before starting the next therapy cycle. The control system may also adjust the dwell time of fluid within the peritoneal cavity during therapy cycles in order to complete a therapy within a scheduled time period. The cycler may also be configured to have a heater control system that monitors both the temperature of a heating tray and the temperature of a bag of dialysis fluid in order to bring the temperature of the dialysis fluid rapidly to a specified temperature, with minimal temperature overshoot.

    Abstract: A pump for pumping fluid, the pump comprising a tube platen; a plunger configured for actuation toward and away from the tube platen when the tube platen is disposed opposite to the plunger; a bias member configured to urge the plunger toward the tube platen; an inlet 5 valve upstream of the plunger configured for actuation between an occluding position and a non-occluding position; an outlet valve downstream of the plunger configured for actuation between an occluding position and a non-occluding position; an actuator mechanism configured to control the actuation of the plunger, the inlet valve and the outlet valve, wherein the actuator mechanism is configured to mechanically engage and disengage from 10 the plunger, wherein when the actuator mechanism is disengaged from the plunger, the actuator mechanism is configured to mechanically discharge the bias member such that the plunger is a sole force driving the plunger toward the tube platen, wherein the actuator mechanism is configured to engage the plunger to lift the plunger away from the tube platen to thereby mechanically charge the bias member; a pressure sensor disposed adjacent to at 15 least one of the inlet valve, the outlet valve, and the plunger; a position sensor configured to estimate a position of the plunger; and a processor coupled to the position sensor to receive the estimated position of the plunger therefrom. The processor is configured to detect an anomaly based in part on the estimated plunger position when: the inlet valve is in the occluding position, the outlet valve is in the occluding position, the actuator mechanism is 20 mechanically disengaged from the plunger thereby making the bias member the sole source of actuation force of the plunger toward the tube platen, and the bias member urges the plunger toward the tube platen. The processor is further coupled to the pressure sensor to receive a pressure signal from the pressure sensor, the processor is configured to, using the pressure signal, to determine a downstream occlusion exists if a subtraction of a filtered 25 value of a sequential series of sequential trough-to-trough pressure values of a plurality of cycles from a trough-to-trough value is greater than a predetermined threshold.
