would result from solenoid valves being open at the same time in
the same cavity.
8.3.5.3 Phase 3
Figure 8-10. Phase 3: Valves 2, 3, 5, and 8 are closed.
This causes compartment C1 to fill with spent dialysate forcing the
fresh dialysate in C2 to flow toward the dialyzer. Compartment
C4 fills with fresh dialysate pushing the spent dialysate in C3 to
flow to the drain. The cycles then begin again with Phase 1.
8.3.6 Output Pressure Equalizer
At the exit of the flow equalizer is another pressure equalizer.
Fresh dialysate flows on one side of the output pressure equalizer
(PRE) and then goes to the Dialysate Monitoring Manifold; on the
other side (POST) spent dialysate leaves the pressure equalizer,
going to the Blood Leak Detector and then the drain.
