Changing the Dialyzer and Blood Lines During Treatment
If clotting occurs, you may have to change the blood line and dialyzer during treatment. If you must replace
the dialyzer and blood line during treatment, all values and settings will be saved in the machine,
and treatment will resume from where it left off.
Note: It is not necessary to end the treatment and start again to replace the circuit. Once the procedure is complete, the
treatment will continue from when it was stopped.
Note: It is important to follow the instructions provided on the operator’s panel in the sequence listed. Steps performed
out of sequence may delay the option for priming and return to treatment mode. Once started, the new blood circuit
procedure must be completed.
