dialysate line or the drain line.

Power Failure During Chemical Disinfection

If a Chemical/Rinse or Chemical/Dwell program is interrupted, the machine will only allow
Rinse, Chemical/Rinse, or Chemical/Dwell to be selected from the "Select Program" Screen
when power is restored. A message "Mandatory Rinse" will be displayed after the Rinse
button is selected.
If a mandatory rinse cycle is interrupted by a power failure, only a Rinse program is available
in the "Select Program" screen. The entire Rinse program must be completed before the
operator can initiate dialysis.
