If a VERIFY I-DRAIN prompt does not appear, press
STOP
and
V
to
MANUAL DRAIN. Press
ENTER
to initiate a Manual Drain.
The system will return to STOPPED: DRAIN when the Manual Drain ends.
You can repeat the Manual Drain any number of times without an audible
alarm. Resuming the Drain can result in an audible alarm.
If your I-DRAIN ALARM setting is OFF or zero (0) because you normally have a dry
day, Baxter recommends it be set to a value greater than zero (0). If your patient
line is greater than 12 feet (3.6 meters) in length, set the I-Drain Alarm to at least
30 mL. This increases the chance that your peritoneal cavity is completely emptied
during Initial Drain. Refer to 10.2.7, I-Drain Alarm , on page 10-9 to permanently
change your I-Drain Alarm setting.
The system will assume that you are empty at the end of the Initial Drain. If you
are not empty, the fluid in your peritoneal cavity can contribute to IIPV.
If you need to end your therapy after the Initial Drain begins, you must follow the
instructions in 18.6, End Therapy Early Procedure , on page 18-55.
