Idle Mode

Regardless of Auto Flow selections, the machine will take control of the dialysate flow
during idle periods.
During idle periods, the machine will run dialysate flow at 300 ml/min provided the
following conditions are met:

A long power down, rinse, disinfect, or self test has just occurred

No new dialysate flow rate has been set

Conductivity is within limits

The blood pump is off

The Tx Clock has not been started
or

Tx has ended (i.e., RTD counted to 0, blood not sensed, and blood pump is off)
Idle Flow is cancelled when the blood pump is turned on, a new dialysate flow rate is
selected, or the treatment has started (i.e., RTD > 0 or blood is sensed). The dialysate flow
will then be the selected default dialysate flow (see page 251) or what the user has entered on
the "Home" screen.
