General
Application
The Diascan function can be used for:
•
Clearance measurement (K) in order to read off the
current dialysis ef fi ciency for the ongoing treatment.
•
Dialysis dose measurement (Kt or Kt/V) in order
to check that the prescribed dialysis dose is being
maintained, which provides quality assurance for the
treatments.
•
Kt/V target supervision , which means that the
machine constantly calculates if the desired and
minimum values for Kt/V, set by the operator for
each individual patient, can be reached at treatment
end. If not, the operator will be immediately noti fi ed
during treatment.
The measurement checks can be performed one at a time
when required, or continuously at set intervals during
treatment.
If Kt/V measurement is required, distribution volume
(
VOLUME
) has to be set before the measurement check
takes place. The distribution volume is patient-related
(based on the patient's dry weight) and has to be properly
estimated and set by the machine operator in order to
obtain a correct Kt/V value.
