16.6.3. Priming of dialyzer with dialysate
(1) Turnover dialyzer to direct arterial port (red) upward.
(2) Turn on [BYPASS] SW to enable bypass mode. [BYPASS] SW lamp is ON.
(3) Set coupler to dialyzer and place intermediate connector of the coupler on coupler
receiver.

+ - EXIT DISP.
(3) Press [F・1] or [F・2] SW to set "SOLUTION VOL.(l)" to suitable level so that small
amount of saline can be left in vial after priming completion.
(4) Check that "ACCUMULATED VOL.(l)" is 0.00.
(5) Check that "RATIO(%)" is 0.
(6) Set flow rate by operating flow rate adjusting volume of blood pump.
(7) Turn on [ON/OFF] SW of blood pump to operate it.
(8) Remove air from dialyzer.
(9) Adjust level in venous drip chamber.
