The heparin syringe should be installed in the Prime Mode.
The heparin pump rate may be set in the Prime or Dialyze
Mode.
The heparin pump rate may be set from 0 to 5.5 mL/h.
Entering non-zero heparin rate turns on the pump. Entering a
zero rate turns off the pump. The words ON and OFF will
appear above the HEPARIN PUMP window appropriately.
The heparin pump may also be turned off automatically up to 2
hours before the end of the treatment by setting the auto-off
feature.
The type of syringe for which the Instrument is calibrated and
the volume of heparin infused are indicated in the main Data
Report. The Data Report total heparin infused value indicates
the volume of heparin infused by the Instrument during the
Dialyze Mode.
To give a heparin bolus, touch the HEPARIN PUMP window
then touch the BOLUS and VERIFY buttons. The bolus
volume is displayed on the BOLUS button.
The heparin pump stops during an extracorporeal alarm or
when the blood pump is turned off, a heparin bolus will
continue with the blood pump stopped.
The heparin pump will operate while the blood pump is off
during Single-Pump Single-Needle operation.
The heparin pump alarms when the motor is infusing heparin
faster than the setting on the device. It also alarms when the
heparin syringe is empty, the motor is stalled or the heparin
delivery line is clamped.
