10. Operating Instructions – Make Adjustments
10.2.10 UF Target and Alarm
This option only appears on the Make Adjustments menu if Last Manual Drain is
set to YES.
The UF TARGET allows you to set a minimum amount of UF that must be drained
before the Last Manual Drain option is enabled. Seventy percent (70%) of your
expected UF is a good starting point for setting your UF Target. For help in
converting 70% of your expected total therapy UF into a value that can be
programmed as your Total UF for your Tidal therapy, see 19.17, Determining Tidal
Total UF and Last Manual Drain UF Target Volume Settings, on page 19-18. If the
accumulated UF for the therapy (including nighttime UF and Hi-Dose UF) is below
the UF Target at the end of the last regular Drain, the therapy stops and a LOW UF
alarm occurs.
WARNING
Setting your UF Target too low can cause an incomplete last
Drain, leaving fluid in your peritoneal cavity. This can
result in an increased intraperitoneal volume (IIPV)
situation during your next Fill.
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.
