Removing Bloodlines From The Machine - Fresenius Medical Care 2008T Operator's Manual

Chapter 4—Monitoring the Treatment

Removing Bloodlines from the Machine

The arterial and venous ends of the bloodline should be clamped to avoid spillage before
attempting to remove the lines from the system.
Caution: Do not forcefully pull the lines from the machine. Damage to the machine or its
components may result.
Note: If the CLiC device was used for this treatment, pinch the CLiC device to spread the
sensor elements apart and gently remove the device from the Crit-Line Blood Chamber.
Store the CLiC device by clipping it to its verification filter, which is attached to its USB
cable. Discard the disposable Crit-Line Blood Chamber with the rest of the bloodlines.
When RTD is zero and the Tx Clock is paused, a Print button will appear on the "Crit-Line"
screen in place of the Markers button. To clear the data on the "Crit-Line" screen without
printing, press the New Tx key. For more information, see the 2008T Hemodialysis
Machine with CLiC User's Guide (P/N 490206).
To remove the bloodline from the blood pump, open the door and align the rotor by pressing
and holding the Start/Stop key until the pump stops. Press the clamp-panel below the rotor
to release the left (incoming) side of the pump segment. Pull the first couple of inches of the
pump segment out of the pump. Then, while keeping firm tension outward on the left
(incoming) side of the bloodline, press and hold the Start/Stop key a second time and the
pump segment will be released from the pump head.
Be sure to open the door to the optical detector before pulling the line from the venous clamp
and optical detector assembly.
