The Blood Temperature Module (BTM) is an optional and separate device with its own
Operator's Manual. For a complete understanding of the functions of the BTM, please refer to
P/N 470164. The BTM functions utilize the keys on the module itself for operation. The Touch
Screen is used only for displaying the results and operations of the BTM; none of the parameters
are entered from the Touch Screen.
The Blood Volume Module (BVM) is an optional and separate device with its own Operator's
Manual. For a complete understanding of the functions of the BVM, please refer to P/N 490041.
The BVM functions utilize the keys on the module itself for operation. In addition, the Touch
Screen is used to display a graphical representation of the blood volume over time and to select
the alert level where an alarm will occur.
BTM function
The BTM has two primary functions – to regulate the patient's temperature (energy) and to use
temporary changes in dialysate temperature to determine the extent of recirculation at the blood
access site.
