Crit-Line Screen

Note: The 2008T hemodialysis machine is set up in Service Mode to display either the
"BTM BVM" screen or the "Crit-Line" screen. If the second to last screen-button along the
bottom of the display screen shows "BTM BVM" instead of "Crit-Line," turn to page 116.

The Crit-Line in a Clip (CLiC) device is used to non-invasively measure a hemodialysis
patient's hematocrit, oxygen saturation and percent change in blood volume. These
measurements occur in real time in order to provide a more effective treatment. The
measurements are displayed on the 2008T hemodialysis machine's "Crit-Line" screen. Under
the direction of a physician, the clinician/nurse can increase or decrease the ultrafiltration
(UF) rate in order to remove the maximum amount of fluid without the patient experiencing
the common dialysis related complications which include hypotension, nausea, cramping and
vomiting.
The system consists of software for the 2008T hemodialysis machine, a Crit-Line in a Clip
(CLiC) device, a CLiC device-specific verification filter which is used to calibrate and verify
the CLiC device, and a disposable Crit-Line Blood Chamber. For more information, see the
2008T Hemodialysis Machine with CLiC User's Guide (P/N 490206).
