Completion of the Single Needle Dialysis Treatment
At the end of treatment, when the RTD timer has counted down to 0:00, an alarm sounds and
the message, RTD = ZERO , appears in the Status Box. An alarm also sounds when the set
amount of ultrafiltrate has been removed. When that happens, the Status Box displays the
message, UF GOAL REACHED. To reset either alarm, press the RESET key. If the UF
GOAL REACHED and RTD = ZERO alarms occur simultaneously, pressing the RESET key
will reset both alarms.
