Emptying The Bibag Disposable - Fresenius Medical Care 2008T Operator's Manual

Emptying the bibag disposable

At the end of a bibag-based treatment, a blue Empty bibag button is displayed in the upper
right corner of the "Dialysate" screen (see Figure 59) to empty the bag for easy disposal.
Follow unit protocol or use this optional procedure to empty the bibag disposable at the end
of a treatment.
Note: The Empty bibag feature cannot be used when blood is sensed or the Tx Clock is
running. The Empty bibag button is also unavailable during a "bibag: Bag Leak" alarm.
Note: The bibag disposable may also be emptied manually; see page 127 for more
information.

1. Select the Empty bibag button and press the CONFIRM key to begin emptying the
bibag disposable. Any fluid remaining in the bag will be sent out the machine drain line.
Note: The bibag disposable and the dialyzer cannot be emptied at the same time. To run the
Empty bibag program, both dialysate lines must either be on the shunt or on the dialyzer.
2. When the bibag disposable is empty of fluid, the Status Box will display the message
"bibag: Emptied."
3. Lift up on the dark-gray bibag door handle to open the bibag door. Remove the bag and
dispose of it per unit protocol.
4.
Close the bibag door securely, making sure that the door latches into place (two clicks
should be heard).
