Preparing the machine – extra priming & recirculation
It is possible after the completion of either manual or assisted priming, to perform
extra priming or to recirculate the priming solution. For both procedures the
operator must ensure that there is enough priming solution to complete the action.
For recirculation, both ends of the blood lines must be connected together using a
sterile accessory. The priming fluid should be connected to the circuit via an
infusion line to compensate for the ultrafiltration that occurs in the dialyzer during
the recirculation phase.
