11. Operating Instructions – Prepare for Therapy
WARNING
If your patient line is greater than 12 feet (3.6 meters) in length, and
your Initial Drain Alarm is set to less than 30 mL, the Initial Drain can
end early and result in an increased intraperitoneal volume (IIPV)
situation.
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.
WARNING
Do not use a Patient Line Extension with the Low Recirculation Set.
Using an extension with this set increases the recirculation volume
and reduces therapy effectiveness.
WARNING
Do not extend the patient line beyond 34 feet (10.4 meters) for the
standard set. Extending the patient line beyond this length:
Increases the recirculation volume which can result in reduced
therapy effectiveness.
Impacts priming which can result in air infusion. Air infusion can
cause abdominal and/or shoulder pain.
