Function
The amount of fluid (in ml) to be removed during the entire treatment is
entered here. This button is also available in the "UF Profile" subscreen
if a profile is to be used to vary the rate of ultrafiltration during
treatment. If the UF Goal is set to zero, the UF Time will also change to
zero; the UF Rate may then be set independent of UF Time and UF
Goal.
The length of treatment time during which ultrafiltration will occur is
entered here in hours and minutes (hr: min). UF Time will generally be
equal to treatment time and will automatically transfer to the RTD
button. Once treatment begins, this button acts as a countdown timer
indicating the amount of time left for ultrafiltration. This time can be
increased or decreased by the operator at any time. Changing the UF
Time or UF Goal will change the UF Rate accordingly except when the
UF Goal is set to zero. If the UF Rate is adjusted, the UF Time will be
automatically calculated without affecting the UF Goal. To set for
sequential dialysis (SEQ), see "Sequential Dialysis" on page 64. A
blood alarm will stop this timer.
Enter here, in 10 ml/hr increments, the rate fluid will be drawn from the
patient (ultrafiltration). Generally the UF rate is not entered, but rather
automatically calculated from the UF Goal and UF Time. If the UF Rate
value is manually changed, the UF Time value will automatically
change accordingly.
