IF THE POWER IS INTERRUPTED
DURING PRIME:
To restart Priming after a power failure during prime:
1. Press
GO to restart the treatment.
2. Press
GO again when LOAD THE SET appears.
3. Open the bag clamps when CONNECT BAGS appears.
4. Make sure all clamps on the patient line and connected
lines are open.
WARNING
If a disposable set is already present in the system after a
power failure, CLOSE ALL CLAMPS before you press
GO to
start your therapy. This prevents flow of fluid from one bag
to another and/or to the patient during the time when
LOAD THE SET is displayed. Uncontrolled gravity flow of
fluid can result in an increased intraperitoneal volume
(IIPV) situation.
IIPV could result in a feeling of abdominal discomfort,
serious injury, or death. See page 18-58 for IIPV symptoms
or if IIPV is suspected.
Additional care should be taken to monitor for IIPV
symptoms for those patients not able to communicate
essential information to their caregiver during treatment.
