WARNING
Do not attempt to reuse any disposable supplies. Possible
contamination of the fluid or fluid pathways can result if
disposables are reused. Contamination of any portion of
the fluid or fluid path can result in peritonitis.
WARNING
Do not open the door until you have CLOSED ALL CLAMPS.
This prevents the flow of fluid from one bag to another,
and/or to the patient. Uncontrolled gravity flow of fluid can
result in an increased intraperitoneal volume (IIPV)
situation.
IIPV can result in a feeling of abdominal discomfort,
serious injury, or death.
If any patient, or patient caregiver, suspects the patient has
IIPV during a treatment, press
STOP immediately, then
press
V and initiate a Manual Drain. The Manual Drain
procedure is located in 18.5, Manual Drain Procedure, on
page 18-53. See 18.8, Increased Intraperitoneal Volume
(IIPV), on page 18-58 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.
