WARNING
Bypassing a LOW DRAIN VOLUME alarm can leave fluid in
the peritoneal cavity and 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.
