1. Ensure the arterial blood line clamp is open.
2. Open the infusion line clamp(s).
3. Turn the dialyzer over so that the blue venous 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. Ensure there are no kinks in the blood lines.
7. Press the flashing blood pump button to start the blood pump and
activate the post pump priming.
Note: Actual priming volume is indicated on the screen.
10. When the blood pump stops, turn the dialyzer over so that the red
end is up.
11. If not already done, attach 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.
Note: To ensure proper function of the fluid path in the machine,
ensure the dialysate lines are properly attached to the
dialyzer. Red to red, and blue to blue, as indicated in photo.
12. Press the Fluid Bypass button to start the flow of dialysate into the
dialyzer.
8. 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.
9. 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 priming is
completed or when Connect patient is selected.
