4.2.1 Menu selection
Pressing the [ESC] key exits the current menu field and activates the
menu bar. The selected menu has a green background.
Menus that can be selected are shown with white characters on a blue
background. Menus that cannot be selected are shown in grey.
Warning
The operating conditions in the extracorporeal blood circuit may lead to
patient heat loss.
This depends on various factors, including the room temperature and
the treatment parameters, particularly with low dialysate and substituate
flow rates or if a heater is intentionally switched off.
The heater of the device has been designed to heat dialysate or
haemofiltration solutions and thus counteracts heat loss. As the heating
must be limited for safety reasons, heat loss can not always be fully
compensated. For this reason, the patient's body temperature must
always be monitored.
Note
When administering medicine or connecting infusions via the arterial
line, make sure the substances used will survive the dialyser.
The effectiveness of the intended treatment may depend on this.
