To ...
Prime the extracorporeal blood circuit. Pressing Prime will keep the
blood pump running when air is sensed in the venous blood chamber
and a level detector alarm is present (as is the case during initial set
up when the blood circuit tubing is empty). The pump will run for:
Two minutes, or
Until an adequate fluid level is detected by the ultrasonic sensors in
the level detector module, or
Until the volume set in Service Mode is reached.
Start an unscheduled, manual blood pressure measurement when
the cuff is deflated, or instantly deflate the inflated blood pressure
cuff.
Note: Certain versions of the blood pressure module
require a 30 second delay between blood pressure
measurements.
Turn the heparin pump on or off. When the heparin pump is on, the
green, triangular light is illuminated. This light will flash when heparin
pump is interrupted.
Situation
The fluid level has dropped below the sensors in the venous drip
chamber.
A minor blood leak has been detected by the blood leak detector.
An amount of blood greater than 0.45 ml/min has been detected in
the dialysate by the blood leak detector.
