Arena Service Manual
8.5 PROFILING
The UF Profiling option permits the operator to set the UF rate for
the entire treatment. The UF rate is changed at 15, 30 or 60 minute
increments throughout the dialysis treatment. The maximum and
minimum UF rates are set by the technician.
The UF profile is aborted when the target UF volume is changed,
the prescribed time is changed, or the UF rate is manually changed
or set to minimum. The profile is kept in memory so that the
operator can manually restart it when desired.
Specific patient profiles can be saved, recalled, and adjusted
individually. If the profiled UF volume does not match the target
UF volume, the profile (graph) will automatically shift up or down
so that the two volumes match when the GRAPH VERIFY button
is touched. The shifted graph is verified by touching the VERIFY
button. If the shifted graph is not verified, it will shift back to its
original position in approximately 6 seconds. The minimum and
maximum UF set by the service technician in customizing always
remain at the same value.
8.5.1 UF Only
The UF Only feature permits the operator to preset sequential
ultrafiltration periods and rates. UF Only intervals are indicated
on the UF profiling and sodium profiling graphs by a "B"
(indicating bypass) in the dialysis time bar. The Instrument keeps
track of the fluid lost in manual bypass (manual UF Only), but
does not count elapsed treatment time in manual bypass. However
the Instrument does keep track of automatic UF Only time when
the UF Profile / UF Only feature is used. The treatment data
contained in the UF Data Report is listed in Section 8.5.2.
In order to conserve dialysate, the dialysate flow rate automatically
drops to the minimum flow programmed during Customization
(see Section 17, Customizing and Configuration). After a UF Only
period, the dialysate flow rate automatically returns to the previous
operator-set dialysate flow rate.
The UF Only bypass intervals ("Bs") can be set using the Profile
UF screen as follows (see Figure 8-12).
