5.13 Overriding the blood leak detector
 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 citrate
flow rate back within the control range of the citrate pump, the warning
will be repeated after a few seconds.
Note
The blood leak detector is the safety system which monitors haemolysis
and blood leaks. For plasma separation procedures, it is possible to
deactivate the blood leak detector for the duration of the current
treatment. The blood leak detector is reactivated when the device is
switched on again.
Warning
Patient hazard due to haemolysis or blood loss
If the blood leak detector has been overridden / deactivated, the
operator is responsible for the patient’s safety. It is important to pay
attention to additional darkening due to a blood leak in the filtrate bag,
particularly when using a permanent override for plasma separation.
