Profiling Settings/Activation
You may set up the profiling parameters immediately after the machine turns on and Function Check appears on
the machine’s status indicator. You may set up a model manually or select a preset model. You may set/adjust
profiles for sodium (Na
+
) concentration, bicarbonate (HCO
3
-
) concentration, and UF rate for each model. The UF
goal must be set up for treatment in order to use the ultrafiltration profile.

If UF goal or treatment time changes during active UF profiling, the profile parameters will change automatically.

Always check the UF profile settings if UF goal or treatment time changes when a UF profile is activated.

If the profile parameters have not changed and UF profiling reactivates, the UF profiling graph will change
automatically according to the remaining UF goal and treatment time.

Always check the UF profile settings after deactivating and reactivating a UF profile.
