Note: use the set by following the detailed on-line instructions provided by the control
unit. Additional information is available in the control unit operator’s manual.
Load Set
Install the set onto the control unit using the photographs on the inside cover as a
guide - the same procedure applies for both PrismaFlex and PrisMax control units
(in countries where PrisMax is cleared or registered).
Prepare and Connect Solutions
Hang bag of priming saline or alkaline solution (pH ≥ 7.3) with or without heparin
added (5000IU heparin/liter, correctly homogenized) according to usual institutional
practice, on priming hook. Connect access (red) line to priming solution bag.
Prime Set
Refer to the instructions for use of the chosen blood purification device for minimum
volume of priming fluid recommended for priming.
Note: A minimum of 1000 mL is required to carefully deaerate and rinse the
Prismaflex HP-X set.
Anticoagulation Considerations
Refer to the instructions for use of the chosen blood purification device for
additional information.
Treatment monitoring
Refer to on-line instructions and to the instructions for use of the chosen blood
purification device for additional information.
The decision regarding the duration of ahemopurification treatment has to be
made by the physician in charge according to the individual needs of the patient.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES
INCASEOFCOMPLICATION
External Blood Leaks
Note: see Warning no. 11.
If an external blood leakage is observed, immediately stop the blood pump. Initiate
corrective action by securing connections or replacing the Prismaflex HP-X set and
blood purification device.
If necessary, administer adequate replacement solution to the patient to compensate
for
blood loss.
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Note: see Warning no. 14.
Should acute allergic reactions (first use syndrome) occur within the first few minutes
of the treatment, it is important to react immediately by discontinuing the session and
administering appropriate treatment.
Adverse reactions may occur due to the complex interaction between blood and the
artificial surfaces of the entire extracorporeal circuit. These reactions may also be
precipitated and/or exacerbated by other external factors involved with the individual
patient’s specific disease process and the treatment. Certain types of adverse reaction
may occur due to operational factors associated with the treatment. Therefore, proper
management of electrolyte balance, anticoagulation and blood flow rate as well as
monitoring of the overall treatment parameters are essential to avoid side-effects.
Should an adverse reaction occur, it is important to react immediately by discontinuing the
session and administering appropriate treatment. Blood in the extracorporeal circuit must
not be returned to the patient.
Extra care must be taken when treating patients who have exhibited possible hypersensitivity
symptoms during previous treatments, or patients who have a history of being highly
sensitive and allergic to a variety of substances. A physician must be consulted to evaluate
the risk and prescribe the appropriate precautions if a possible sensitivity is suspected.
The following factors are considered essential to minimize the risk of hypersensitivity
reaction and other side effects:
• Strict adherence to the set-up, priming and rinsing procedures detailed in the
manufacturer’s instructions for use.
• Setting up and monitoring the treatment operating parameters according to
the manufacturer’s recommendations specified for Prismaflex HP-X set and the
chosen blood purification device, as well as to the patient's needs and tolerance.
• Strict adherence to all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given by the manufacturer
in the instructions for use.
