13. Operating Instructions – End Therapy
WARNING
A consistently high UF in the last cycle may indicate that UF is
accumulating in your peritoneal cavity during the course of your
therapy.
For a CCPD therapy, your Minimum Drain Volume percent may be
programmed too low.
For a Tidal therapy, your expected Total UF may be programmed too
low.
Either of these conditions can result in an increased intraperitoneal
volume (IIPV) situation. Using a higher than normal dextrose
concentration in combination with either of these conditions can
further increase the risk of an IIPV situation.
IIPV can result in a feeling of abdominal discomfort, serious injury, or
death.
If any patient, or patient caregiver, suspects the patient has IIPV
during a treatment, press
STOP immediately, then press V and
initiate a Manual Drain. The Manual Drain procedure is located in
18.5, Manual Drain Procedure, on page 18-53. See 18.8, Increased
Intraperitoneal Volume (IIPV), on page 18-58 if IIPV is suspected.
Additional care should be taken to monitor for IIPV symptoms those
patients not able to communicate essential information to their
caregiver during treatment.
