Notes to Users
Federal (U. S. A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
The Arena Instrument is manufactured and intended for use only as indicated in the labeling and
prescribed by a physician.
The safe and effective treatment of acute or chronic uremia depends primarily upon the medical
skills and knowledge of the attending physician. Consequently, technical competence in
operation of the Arena Instrument must be supplemented by a thorough understanding of the
associated medical procedures. This total knowledge can be gained only through training given
by recognized medical authorities.
Upon completing such training, the user must operate the system in accordance with the
information detailed in the operator’s manual. However, patient treatment must at all times be in
accordance with specific procedures prescribed by a qualified physician.
Read all warnings, precautions, and instructions included in the Arena Hemodialysis Instrument
Operator’s Manual carefully before using the Instrument. The operator’s manual provides the
information necessary for the proper operation of the Arena Instrument. It is not a guide to the
administration of hemodialysis.
This Service Manual provides instructions required for all Instrument service procedures.
