Preparing the Extracorporeal Blood Circuit
Use Figure 22 or Figure 23, depending on the configuration of your machine, as a guide for
connecting the bloodlines. The red lines on the machine are guides for arterial bloodline
(from patient to dialyzer). The blue lines on the machine are guides for the venous bloodline
(from the dialyzer to the patient). Be sure to use aseptic technique for all bloodline
connections.
Note: To prepare the 2008T hemodialysis machine for single-needle dialysis, see "Single
Needle Dialysis" in Appendix A.
