Different People Drain Differently
How long will I take to drain?
Drain time can be affected by your catheter, your position, and several other factors. If drain takes
longer than expected or programmed, the screen will display a drain complication.
If your cycler is programmed to deliver Cycle Based therapy, you or your PD Nurse should program
drain time to correspond to your fill volume. The graph below provides a guideline for drain time
based on fill volumes. The Liberty cycler will not allow a drain time to be programmed that is less
than the programmed fill volume divided by 100 mL. For example, if your fill volume is 2500 mL,
the Liberty will not allow a drain time of less than 25 minutes to be programmed. The default time
is 20 minutes.
