Function
Ultrafiltration (UF) Profile—Opens the "UF Profile" subscreen from
which a profile for executing variable rate ultrafiltration can be selected.
The button displays the current profile selection. For more information,
see "Setting a UF Profile" on page 78.
Sodium Variation System (SVS) Profile—This button opens the "SVS
Profile" subscreen from which the operator can select how sodium is
varied during the course of the treatment. For more information, see
"Sodium Variation System" on page 83. This button is colored green
when an SVS profile is running (software version 2.34 or later).
If the SVS option is set to 'No' in Service Mode, this button will not be
displayed.
The Treatment Clock button is selected and confirmed to start or
pause the treatment. The green segment of the pie chart represents
the amount of treatment completed. The green segment grows as the
treatment progresses. The circle will be completely green when RTD is
equal to zero. During treatment, this button displays the message, "Tx
Running."
Selecting and confirming this button will pause the treatment clock and
the button will display the message, "Tx Paused." When the treatment
is paused, the RTD, heparin infusion time, and UF time each stop
counting down, the UF and heparin pumps stop, and the SVS time is
paused. The UF key LED indicators will flash. Turning the Treatment
Clock back on will restore operation of these parameters unless turned
off with the respective front panel on/off key or on-screen button.
The first time the Treatment Clock is turned on, the UF Removed is
reset to 0 and the UF, Heparin pumps and SVS & UF programs are
turned on and a blood pressure reading is taken, if applicable.
Blood Pump Rate—Displays the speed of the blood pump and allows
the operator to set it from the display screen in addition to the module.
The rate, displayed in ml/min, can be entered from 0 to 600 in
increments of 5. Setting the blood flow rate to zero will stop the blood
pump. The blood flow rate flashes when the blood pump is stopped.
Function
The UF on/off key turns the ultrafiltration pump on or off. During
ultrafiltration, the green light is illuminated.
This light flashes when ultrafiltration is interrupted, and the UF Time
countdown stops. Operation will resume when the Treatment Clock is
turned on or the UF on/off key is pressed.
If the UF on/off key is pressed during dialysis to turn off the UF pump,
it will not resume with the Treatment Clock button.
