18.4.2 Bypass Low Drain Volume Alarm During Initial Drain
Follow the steps below to bypass a LOW DRAIN VOLUME alarm during an Initial
Drain. Contact your dialysis center to learn when it is safe to bypass.
WARNING
Bypassing a LOW DRAIN VOLUME alarm during Initial
Drain when there is still fluid left in the peritoneal cavity
can result in an increased intraperitoneal volume (IIPV)
situation later in your therapy. Change your position or sit
up to aid draining completely during the Initial Drain.
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.
