NOTE:
If the I-DRAIN ALARM is set to OFF, the HomeChoice APD System
moves on to Fill when a No Flow condition occurs. Baxter
recommends that this setting not be used since there is no Minimum
Drain Volume requirement. A LOW DRAIN VOLUME alarm is posted if
the flow rate is below 50 mL/min for 10 minutes. Subsequent alarms
are posted every 5 minutes. The I-DRAIN: OFF option is not available
in the Low Fill Mode.

NOTE:
For “Dry Day” patients, set the I-Drain Alarm to 0 mL, or a very small
volume. If your patient line is greater than 12 feet (3.6 meters) in
length, set the I-Drain Alarm to at least 30 mL. Check with your
dialysis center for the correct number to set. Setting the I-Drain Alarm
to NO in the Standard Fill Mode will activate a No Flow or Slow Flow
alarm.
