Machine aftercare
CAUTION
The venous line must be disconnected from the patient before
emptying the fluid side of the dialyzer, i.e. connecting one of the
fluid tubes to the safety coupling. Otherwise the negative pressure
created by the machine in order to empty the dialyzer may cause
a blood flow from the blood compartment to the fluid compartment
of the dialyzer.
CAUTION
13. Check that the DISCONNECT PATIENT MENU is
displayed on the Information Display.
14. If blood is still detected in the venous blood line (the light
of the blood path of the Flow Diagram is still red), remove
the venous blood line from the priming detector. The blood
path light will then turn off.
15. Invert the dialyzer. R emove the outlet dialysis fluid tube
from the dialyzer and attach it to the safety coupling of
the machine. The machine will now automatically create
negative pressure in the fluid path, which empties the
dialyzer of dialysis fluid.
16. When the dialyzer has been emptied, remove the inlet
dialysis fluid tube from the dialyzer and attach it to the safety
coupling of the machine as well.
17. Connect the concentrate connector(s) to the stand-by ports.
18. If the B iCart cartridge has been used, select whether the
machine should automatically empty the cartridge or not
according to t he instructions on the Information Display.
19. When the BiCart cartridge is empty (or directly if manual
emptying has been chosen), continue by following the
instructions on how to remove the cartridge from the holder.
