CAUTION
Make sure that the blood path of the Flow Diagram lights up, if it
does not light up, check that the venous blood line is correctly placed
in the priming detector. If the blood path does not light up, the
machine considers the patient not connected and as a consequence
the UF system is not controlling the patient ultrafiltration.
If the air detector has not been activated during priming it will not be
automatically activated until the priming detector detects blood.
