This can be done during priming, or prior to the patient being put onto the
OMNI. Be careful not to move the machine during priming to avoid any errors.
It is important to ensure the Calcium Chloride and Citrate used adhere to the
concentrations set on the OMNI to ensure the volumes being delivered by the
machine are correct.
When using citrate we must not change the blood flow unless stated on the
protocol or informed so by a Consultant. If we change our blood flow, we are
altering the amount of citrate we are giving. Consult medical/senior nursing
staff regarding queries over the citrate protocol.
