10 Connect solution lines
Check your solution bags for S.C.A.L.E. (solution, clarity,
amount, leaks and expiration date). Place your solution
bags on a flat surface with the connection ports facing you.
Always use aseptic technique when connecting to
solution lines. Connect the lines as follows:
11 Place bag on heater tray
The heater bag must be at least 1000 mL more than your
first fill volume, but at least 2000 mL. The heater line (red
clamp) should already be connected. Once your treatment
starts, you must not remove the heater bag. Nothing other
than the heater bag may be placed on the heater tray.
Liberty Select Cycler User's Guide
Connect the heater bag to the line with a
RED clamp.
Connect additional solution bags to lines with a
WHITE clamp.
Connect the last bag to the last bag option with a
GREEN clamp, if required.
Connect the drain line or drain bags to the line with a
YELLOW clamp.
Caution: If you are using the Liberty cart, be sure
to properly balance the solution bags by hanging
them on both sides of the cart. Unbalanced bags
on the cart may cause it to tip over and damage
your machine. The maximum load limit on the
Liberty cart in addition to the cycler is 60 lbs. (2.2
lbs. per Liter of solution). Do not overload the
Liberty cart. Make sure that you set the cart brakes
to OFF when moving the cart and ON when the
cart is stationary.
Note: Make sure that the solution bags are placed
no more than 3 feet below the cycler.
Warning: You must properly connect your
solution bags as prescribed.
Warning: Do not use external heating sources not
authorized by Fresenius Medical Care to warm
your solution bags. Contact your PD nurse for
more information.
