Fill 1
Fill 1 is the First Fill of your treatment. Your cycler will
always go to Fill 1 after Drain 0.
All Fill screens
The "Fill" screen displays a graph to track your Fill
progress. As your cycler fills your abdomen, the fluid level
in the cup will rise. The black line indicates the prescribed
fill volume level.
You will continue to fill until the graph rises to the black
line. This black line indicates your set fill volume. This is
based on your prescription.
When the Fill is complete, your cycler will go to Dwell
(page 148) or Pause (page 142) depending on your therapy.
If you programmed a Last Fill, and this is the last Fill of
your treatment, go to "Ending Treatment" on page 154.
Liberty Select Cycler User's Guide
Warning: If you feel a large, painful build-up of
pressure during your fill, do not finish your fill
cycle. You must press the STOP key to stop your
cycler immediately. You may perform a STAT
drain if you have been trained. Always call your
PD nurse or doctor or practitioner if you have these
symptoms. Overfilling can cause serious injury or
death. For more information on overfilling, see
page 190.
Note: You may fill more quickly lying down than
sitting or standing up. There is less pressure on
your abdomen in a lying down position.
Note: If you need to stop the Fill process, press the
STOP key. The pump will stop and the "Filling
Stopped" screen will be displayed. Filling will
resume when you press the OK key.
Note: Your cycler will delay your first fill if the
solution temperature in the heater bag has not
reached 33°C (91.4°F). When the temperature
reaches at least 25°C (77°F), your cycler will
display the message "Solution is warming. Press
OK key to start fill..." By pressing the OK key, the
fill will begin with cool solution, which could feel
uncomfortable. If this happens, do not press the
OK key. The heater bag will warm the PD solution
before automatically starting the fill.
