18.4.3 Bypass Drain Phase
Follow the next steps to bypass a non-Initial Drain phase. Contact your dialysis
center to learn when it is safe to bypass.
6. Change your position and resume Initial Drain as
often as necessary.
Using Manual Drain repeatedly does not generate
an audible alarm.
7. Press
V from the alarm stopped state to see the
total Initial Drain Volume (I-DRAIN VOL).
WARNING
Bypassing a Drain phase 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.
