HCEN12745 Revision 10.2016
Program version 2.xx
AK 98 Dialysis Machine - Profiling A:119
7.3 Profiling of ultrafiltration rate
There are three available profiles for adjusting the ultrafiltration rate.
ā Linear mode
ā Step mode
ā Interval mode
Changes in the ultrafiltration rate are determined by:
ā total UF volume.
ā treatment time.
ā starting value for the UF rate.
ā in Step mode: No of steps.
ā in Interval mode: No of intervals.
Based on these parameters, the machine will perform an adjustment of the UF rate
during the treatment time when profiling has been activated.
Before activating a profile for ultrafiltration rate, set the patientās ultrafiltration volume
and treatment time.
Always check the ultrafiltration profile settings after changing ultrafiltration volume or
treatment time when a profile is active, since such changes affect the ultrafiltration
rate.
