WARNING
The operator must take proper precaution in order to prevent
coagulation in the extracorporeal circuit.
Coagulation may lead to:
- inadequate delivery of dialysis
- risks associated with propagation of blood clots to the patient
- disabling of the air detector function if blood clots aggregate in
the drip chamber
WARNING
CAUTION
To avoid patient blood loss and blood hemolysis, it is important to
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use of the dialyzer and the
blood lines. When attaching the blood lines always ensure that
all connections are properly secured and that no part of the blood
lines have been kinked. If the heparin pump is not to be used,
especially ensure that the cap at the end of the thin line used for
heparin solution, is properly closed.
CAUTION
Note
•
Since tests of the blood pumps and the clamps are included
in the function check, it is important that the blood lines
are attached either before the function check or when the
function check for the blood monitor has been completed (lit
Priming button ).
