Ci-Ca preparation – Starts with threading in of the citrate and calcium tube segments
after citrate anticoagulation has been selected and after the
functional test of the multiFiltrate device and the Ci-Ca module has
been completed successfully.
– Is completed as soon as the optical detector of the multiFiltrate
system senses opaque fluid.
Citrate anticoagulation – Citrate infusion starts when connection is started.
– Calcium substitution starts as soon as the treatment is started.
Ci-Ca completion – During the treatment, by deselecting citrate anticoagulation from the
Treatment menu ("Deselect Ci-Ca anticoagulation").
– When the optical detector senses non-opaque fluid during reinfusion
(end of treatment).

patient has been disconnected, the Ci-Ca tube pump segments can
be removed. This is also possible by pressing the [START/RESET]
key in standby mode.

Citrate supply is started when the connection process is started. If the
optical detector has not sensed opaque fluid after 10 minutes, the
citrate supply will be turned off automatically. The citrate supply restarts
automatically when the optical detector senses opaque fluid and when
the treatment is started.
Calcium flow manually set to 0 ml/h / calcium substitution turned off
