screen. This means that if an alarm occurs and cannot be resolved,
discontinuing the treatment may only be possible by pressing the
flashing attention hand on the screen.

Once the flashing attention hand is selected, the “Confirm treatment
time expired” message will be accessible.
Note: It may be necessary to repeat this sequence to complete the
treatment discontinuation procedure.

automatically bypass the dialyzer.
