Bypassing
Why can’t I bypass during my treatment?
If you attempt to bypass when it is unsafe to do so, a message will be displayed on the screen
reading “bypass not allowed”. Bypass is not allowed during:
• Drain: if the patient has not drained enough that overfill can occur after the next fill
•
Fill: can bypass anytime
• Dwell: for 1 to 2 minutes at the beginning of Dwell; the heater bag is being emptied or refilled
• Pause: cannot bypass; must wait for the next button to appear in order to continue
to next phase
NOTE:
You can bypass Fill at anytime
wARNINg!
You must discuss the risks associated with bypassing, or skipping, any phase
of treatment with your doctor or PD nurse. Bypassing may decrease the amount of treatment
you receive. You should not bypass Drain 0 unless you have a dry day.
