TPE
AC infusion
rate (mL/min/L TBV)
Rate at which anticoagulant (AC) is infused to the
patient.
The configured rate represents the maximum rate at the
start of the run.
0.8 to 1.2
Default: 0.8
Inlet:AC ratio (__:1)
Ratio of the inlet pump flow rate to the AC pump flow
rate. The configured ratio represents the ratio at the
start of the run.
6 to 15
Default:10
Plasma volumes
exchanged
Run target. Number of the patient’s plasma volumes to
be exchanged, accounting for the amount of AC in the
plasma removed.
The configured number represents the number the
system uses to calculate the initial run values.
0.5 to 4
Default: 1
Custom replacement
fluid (%)
Percentage of citrate in the custom replacement fluid.
0 to 25
Default: 0

rate. The ratio configured represents the ratio at the
start of the run.
6 to 15
Default:10
Plasma volumes treated
Run target. Number of the patient’s plasma volumes to
be treated, accounting for the amount of AC in the
plasma removed.
The number configured represents the number the
system uses to calculate the initial run values.
