Bypassing (or skipping) any phase of your treatment should
be avoided, unless you've discussed situations that may
require bypassing with your doctor, practitioner, or PD
nurse. If you must bypass a Drain, Fill, Dwell or Pause
phase, press and hold the OK key for four seconds to
display the "bypass current phase" screen.
2 Touch bypass current phase
Touch the bypass current phase button to skip the current
phase and continue to your next exchange. If your cycler
calculates that there is still too much fluid in your
abdomen, you may not bypass. Your cycler will then
display a blinking message, "bypass not allowed at this
time" and then go back to the previous screen. Wait until
your cycler drains more fluid from your abdomen before
trying to bypass again.
Warning: If you feel a large, painful build-up of
pressure during your fill or any of the signs listed on
page 190, do not finish your fill cycle. Press the
STOP key and immediately initiate a STAT Drain as
instructed by your PD nurse. See page 184 for more
information on how to use the STAT Drain feature.
Once the fluid is completely drained from your
abdomen, notify your doctor, practitioner, or PD
nurse.
Warning: Do not bypass Drain 0 if you have a last fill
programmed or if you turn off your cycler after you
have filled. Do not bypass Fill 1 if you have a Pause
programmed. You must make sure that you have
drained enough fluid from your abdomen before
bypassing Drain 0. Failure to do so could result in an
overfill situation. Overfilling can cause serious injury
or death.
Warning: If you do not program a manual daytime
exchange into your Liberty Select Cycler, your cycler
will not know that you have additional fluid in your
abdomen. Do NOT bypass Drain 0. Your Liberty
Select Cycler will switch to Fill 1 when you are
finished draining.
