11. Operating Instructions – Prepare for Therapy
11.2 Prepare Your Solution Bags
WARNING
Follow aseptic technique taught by your dialysis center
when handling lines and solution bags to reduce the
possibility of infection. Always put on a face mask and wash
and dry (or disinfect) your hands thoroughly.
WARNING
If any problems are found while preparing the solution
bags, DO NOT USE THE SOLUTION SUPPLY BAG. DISCARD
THE BAG and get a fresh dialysis solution supply bag. Using
wrong or damaged bags can result in inadequate therapy
or contamination of the fluid lines. Contamination of any
portion of the fluid or fluid path can result in peritonitis.
Contact Baxter or your dialysis center to report any
problems with the bags. See 2.2, Numbers to Call for
Assistance, on page 2-1.
WARNING
The solution bag must be positioned properly on the
heater pan. The edge of the bag should be placed against
the bag stops on the right side of the heater pan. Be sure
that the bag completely covers the silver heater sensor
button. Failure to properly position the solution bag can
result in the delivery of overheated or underheated
dialysis fluid.
WARNING
DO NOT use external heating sources (i.e., microwave
oven) to warm solution bags. This can result in overheated
solution delivered into your peritoneal cavity.
