Chapter 21: Option BVM (Blood Volume Monitor)
21-6 Fresenius Medical Care 5008 OP 5/09.06
Message Message: BVM: Achieving UF goal is uncertain. Reduce minimum UF
goal by XXX ml or set a minimum BVM rate of XXXX ml/h. – Minimum
goal
Reduce – Minimum rate Set
This message is displayed only during the second half of the volume to
be removed.
Touch the Reduce button to modify the prescription. The control
continues in the usual manner.
(If a PatientCard is used, this new minimum UF goal will also be used
for the next treatment.)
Touch the Set button to set the minimum BVM rate. The message is
displayed only once during the second half of the volume to be
removed. Until the end of the treatment, at least the minimum BVM rate
will be used (lower limitation of the BVM rate), even if the RBV continues
to decrease. If the patient recovers, treatment will be performed with a
higher BVM rate, according to the RBV.
The minimum UF goal prescribed will imperatively be respected.
After the UF control parameter (e.g. UF goal) was changed, the BVM
minimum rate is automatically cleared.
Message Message: BVM: Clotting in dialyzer possible. Blood flow too low
compared to the minimum BVM rate. Increase the blood flow to a
minimum of XXX ml/min.
– Confirm
Touch the Confirm button.
If possible, increase the blood flow at least up to the indicated value. If
not, reduce the UF goal or prolong the UF time.
