9.7.5 Tidal Therapy Settings
With Tidal therapy, only a portion of the solution in your peritoneal cavity is
drained and replaced with new solution during each therapy cycle.
Table 9-7, on the following page, shows the settings programmed for Tidal therapy
in the Standard Fill Mode.
WARNING
Pressing the STOP and GO buttons during successive Tidal
Dwell cycles can lead to a gradual increase in
intraperitoneal volume (IPV). An increased intraperitoneal
volume (IIPV) situation can result for patients with a low
Fill Volume and a high number of cycles.
IIPV could result in a feeling of abdominal discomfort,
serious injury, or death. See page 18-58 for IIPV symptoms
or if IIPV is suspected.
Additional care should be taken to monitor for IIPV
symptoms for those patients not able to communicate
essential information to their caregiver during treatment.

NOTE:
Changing from CCPD to Tidal mode will automatically reset the Tidal
Volume % and Total UF to the default settings (5% and 0 mL
respectively). If your cycler is programmed with these default
settings, contact your clinician to verify that they are correct for you.
h
NOTE:
The Tidal Volume (Fill Volume x Tidal Volume %) must be at least
95 mL or a CHECK TIDAL VOL PCT alarm will occur. See 18.3.3, Check
Therapy Setting Value, on page 18-10.

NOTE:
Prescription settings can not be adjusted during a Tidal therapy.
