5.15 Manual reinfusion
Fresenius Medical Care multiFiltrate IFU-EN-UK 15A-2015
In the event of a prolonged power failure or a system failure, the
extracorporeal blood volume must be returned to the patient using a
hand crank.
Warning
Patient hazard due to air infusion
When transporting or returning blood manually, please observe the
following:
Only turn the blood pump hand crank in the direction of the arrow in
order to avoid the risk of an air infusion via the arterial tubing system.
Visually monitor the venous tubing system to check that it is free of
air and therefore to avoid the risk of an air infusion.
Note
The maximum time for emergency operation may be reduced due to the
increased power requirements of the Ci-Ca module.
Chapter 5: Alarm processing
Switch off the device using the [On/Off]

venous clamp.
Visually check that the venous tubing
system is free of air.
Use the hand crank to operate the blood
pump.
Return the blood manually.

transportation process to check that it is
free of air.
