[ Summary ] We researched the ability of securing computer systems for use in dialysis treatment, which would achieve a high degree of reproducibility, which maintaining high levels of safety to the patient. Such systems, now on the market, have been influenced by both market demands for improving treatment, as well as business considerations.
Based on the results of six years of use of such computer systems, we may observe the urgent need for their standardization. Other problems which need to be addressed, are those of the interface between operation and the machine, and practical use of information produced by such systems.
