Concentrate:
The concentrate displayed on the screen must comply with the
specifications mentioned on the acid or the acetate container or on the
bag. This also applies to the concentrate composition in CDS operation.
Concentrate packages:
– Assure that the packages used contain sufficient concentrate to
complete the treatment.
– Use only the dedicated coded containers or the bi b ag
®
for
bicarbonate dialysis.
Bicarbonate dry concentrate bi b ag
®
:
Only the bi b ag
®
manufactured by Fresenius Medical Care may be used.
The bi b ag
®
must only be used for one treatment.
Only use the bi b ag
®
in combination with acid bicarbonate hemodialysis
concentrate according to the prescribed dilution. Other mixing ratios
may lead to a hazard for the patient.
Acid and basic bicarbonate hemodialysis concentrate have to be diluted
immediately prior to application only. The bag's content must be used
up within 12 hours after dilution. Discard residual volumes. The powder
is non-pyrogenic.
Conductivity limits:
The alarm limits are automatically set around the expected value.
The actual value of the conductivity display must have attained the
expected desired value after a maximum of 10 minutes.
Should this not be the case, the actual value must first be checked in
the laboratory. Change or check the concentrate, if necessary, or call
service.
Note
The bicarbonate suction tube must be inserted into the rinse chamber
during the bi
b ag
