For your comfort, and to avoid alarms during priming: If you perform your
treatment or if you store your supplies in an area colder than 15°C/59°F, turn on
the HomeChoice/HomeChoice PRO APD System and place your bag on the heater
pan 30 to 60 minutes prior to starting setup. In addition, place the cassette on top
of heater bag to help warm it.
Follow the steps below to prepare your solution bags.
