Priming
1. Open the clamp of the arterial blood line.
2. Open the infusion line clamp(s).
3. Turn the dialyzer over so that the blue end is up. This helps
remove the air from the dialyzer.
4. Manually prime the pre pump segment of the arterial blood line by
gravity.
5. When the pre pump segment of the arterial blood line is primed
and priming fluid has reached the prime bucket, close the arterial
blood line clamp and open the venous blood line clamp.
6. Check that there are no kinks in the blood lines.
7. Press the flashing blood pump button to start the blood pump and
activate the priming.
11. When the blood pump stops, turn the dialyzer over so that the red
end is up.
12. If not already done, attached the dialysate lines to the dialyzer.
Connect the red dialysate line from the machine to the same side
of the dialyzer as the arterial blood line. Connect the blue dialysate
line from the machine to the same side of the dialyzer as the venous
blood line.
13. Press the Fluid Bypass button.
9. Once a small volume of priming fluid has reached the venous
chamber, adjust the level of priming fluid in the venous drip
chamber with the adjustment knob. The level should be well above
the air detector head.
10. To avoid unnecessary air detector alarms during set up, wait to
activate the air detector until all air has been removed from the
circuit.
Note: The air detector is automatically activated when Connect
patient is selected.
