13. Operating Instructions – End Therapy
WARNING
Do not press GO again until you have CLOSED ALL CLAMPS. This
prevents the flow of fluid from one bag to another and/or to the
patient during the time when DISCONNECT YOURSELF appears. This
flow of fluid could result in an increased intraperitoneal volume
(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.
