5.12 Ratio of citrate flow to BP rate
The citrate flow rate is calculated by the system depending on the set
citrate dose, the set blood flow, and the concentration of the citrate
solution used (set in the multiFiltrate Setup menu), and is limited by the
control range of the citrate pump.
Control range of the citrate pump: 10–600 ml/h
If the settings of the initial values result in a citrate flow outside the pump
control range, a warning will be emitted.
The operator now has to adjust the blood flow or, if necessary, the
citrate dose to continue the treatment.
 Press the [START/RESET] key in order to
override the warning for 2 minutes.
Adjust the settings accordingly.
Note
If the modifications performed are inadequate for bringing the calcium
flow rate back within the control range of the calcium pump, the warning
will be repeated after a few seconds.
