1. A heart lung machine (HLM), comprising:
an HLM base;
a plurality of HLM component connectors coupled to the HLM base, wherein each of the plurality of HLM component connectors comprises a fluid connection element, an energy connection element, and a data connection element configured to facilitate removably connecting a physical HLM component to the HLM base, wherein the physical HLM component comprises one of: a blood pump, an oxygenator, a venous reservoir, an electronic venous occluder, or a sensor that performs an extracorporeal circulation function;
a control assembly comprising a control display device and a processing unit, the processing unit configured to create a mapping profile by:
detecting connections of a plurality of physical HLM components to the plurality of HLM component connectors;
determining that all required physical HLM components for a selected HLM configuration are connected to corresponding HLM component connectors;
initiating, in response to determining that all required physical HLM components are connected, creation of the mapping profile by:
associating each of a plurality of HLM component names with one of a plurality of HLM component roles, wherein each of the plurality of HLM component roles defines an extracorporeal circulation function performed by the corresponding physical HLM component during operation of the HLM;
assigning at least one dependency between a first physical HLM component and a second physical HLM component, the at least one dependency comprising a functional relationship that causes an operational change in the second physical HLM component based on an operational state of the first physical HLM component, wherein the functional relationship comprises at least one of: an interaction, an interaction protocol, and a rule;
providing an HLM system mapping user interface (UI) on a display device, the HLM system mapping UI comprising a plurality of HLM component connector representations, each of the HLM component connector representations corresponding to an HLM component connector;
receiving an indication of a user selection of a first HLM component connector representation of the plurality of HLM component connector representations, the first HLM component connector representation corresponding to a first HLM component connector, wherein the first HLM component connector is configured to facilitate connecting the first physical HLM component to the HLM base;
providing a first HLM component connection mapping interface, the first HLM component connection mapping interface corresponding to the first HLM component connector;
receiving, via the first HLM component connection mapping interface, a user input assigning a first HLM component name to the first physical HLM component; and
associating, in response to receiving the user input, the first HLM component name with the first physical HLM component, thereby instantiating the at least one dependency between the first and second physical HLM components.
