4.11.7.2 Balance data during the treatment

Fresenius Medical Care multiFiltrate IFU-EN-UK 15A-2015
The heparin volumes added continuously are not removed in the MPS
and HP treatments.
Substituate and heparin bolus volumes are not removed. They will be
added to the balance:
Balance = UF volume + substituate bolus volume + heparin bolus
volume
Example:
UF rate: 2.40 l/h
Duration of the treatment: 1 hour
Sub. bolus: 0.2 l
–2.20 l = –2.40 l + 0.20 l
After a treatment duration of one hour, the balance is –2.2 l.
The following has to be observed:
– The balance will be negative if fluid is removed from the patient.
– The balance will only be positive if the bolus volume is higher than
the UF volume.
– The balance will normally be either even or negative.
Menu field:
– Switch balancing on / off
– Reset balance data?
A balance data reset will reset all the
cumulative volume information recorded
so far to "zero". The treatment time and
the filter life will not be reset.
