Home Screen Monitoring

Figure 46 – Treatment Monitoring using the Home Screen
The "Home" screen provides an up-to-the-minute view of the status and progress of the
treatment. The flow rate, temperature, and conductivity of the dialysate, the status of the
ultrafiltration process, and the amount of treatment time left can all be found here. The
following table describes the data provided by the buttons found in the "Home" screen.
Note: If the 2008T hemodialysis machine is set up in Service Mode to display the "Crit-
Line" screen instead of the "BTM BVM" screen, the various functions and parameters of
the treatment can also be viewed on the "Crit-Line" screen. For more information, see the
"Crit-Line Screen" on page 119.

Data
Displays the desired UF to be removed during the treatment. This is
typically the difference between the patient's pre and dry weight plus
saline or fluid intake during treatment.
The UF Time button acts as a countdown timer displaying the
remaining time ultrafiltration will be performed. The timer stops during
a blood alarm or whenever the UF pump is stopped.
During treatment, this button displays the current rate of ultrafiltration in
milliliters per hour (ml/hr). The rate ultrafiltration occurs is determined
by the values entered in UF Goal and UF Time, and the UF Profile
selected. UF Rate will automatically drop to 70 ml/hr when the UF Goal
is achieved (or 300 ml/hr if the high flux option in the "Test & Options"
screen is selected), or when blood flow is  90 ml/min. The rate flashes
when the UF pump is turned off and there is no ultrafiltration.
