3. Warnings and Cautions

3-2 HomeChoice APD Systems Patient At-Home Guide October 2, 2009 07-19-61-244

 Caregivers should use universal precautions when handling effluent

dialysis solution or contaminated disposables. Failure to use universal

precautions can result in infection or injury to the caregiver.

 All therapies using the HomeChoice/HomeChoice PRO APD System must be

prescribed and performed under the responsibility of a physician who is

familiar and well-informed about peritoneal dialysis. Improper use of the

HomeChoice APD System can result in serious patient injury or death.

 Do not change the settings for your therapy unless directed by your

physician or nurse. Using incorrect settings can cause symptoms and

signs of uremia, including fluid overload.

 Contact your dialysis center if:

– You did not complete your treatment

– You skipped your prescribed Last Fill

– Other conditions occur, as instructed by your dialysis center

Too many incomplete or skipped treatments can cause reduced Dwell or

Therapy Time. This can lead to symptoms and signs of end-stage renal

disease (ESRD), including fluid overload.

 Always look at your patient line after priming to make sure there is no air

in the line. An incomplete prime can cause air infusion. Air infusion can

cause abdominal and/or shoulder pain.

 Conditions that can cause poor catheter drainage include:

– Constipation

– Fibrin accumulation due to a peritonitis infection

– Blockage of the catheter lumen or drainage holes with fibrin, blood

clots, or intestines

– Kinking of the catheter

– Movement of the catheter to the upper portion of the peritoneal cavity
