Figure 41 – Kt/V Graph
The Kt/V graph is located on the right side of the "Kt/V" screen (See Figure 40). The vertical
axis on the left side of the graph represents target Kt/V values. The horizontal axis along the
bottom of the graph represents treatment time in hours.
The horizontal, dashed line near the top of the graph represents the value displayed in the Target
Kt/V button. The vertical, dashed line located on the right side of the graph represents the
prescribed length of the treatment (i.e., the value displayed in the RTD button of the "Home"
screen at the start of treatment). The point where these lines cross represents the target Kt/V at
the end of the prescribed treatment.

Function
The # of Tests button is used to access the number of tests that
will be run automatically during dialysis. From one to six tests
can be chosen per treatment (six is the default setting). The first
and last tests are conducted 15 minutes after the beginning of
dialysis and 15 minutes before the end of dialysis. The
remaining tests are performed at equally spaced intervals
between the first and last tests, unless manual tests are run.
This value indicates the total blood volume (in liters) that has
passed through the dialyzer based on the blood pump flow rate.
This is the expected Kt/V when RTD is at zero, based on the
delivered Kt/V and the Kecn values.
This is the delivered Kt/V at this point in the treatment.
