3. Warnings and Cautions

3.2.2 Treatment - Overfill / IIPV

Overfilling or not draining enough can result in excess fluid in the abdomen, also

known as Increased Intraperitoneal Volume (IIPV). While some people may not

exhibit symptoms, most commonly observed symptoms include:

 Feeling full, bloated, or overfull

 Abdominal pain or discomfort

 Expanded or tense abdomen

 Vomiting or spitting-up

 Difficulties feeding

 Localized swelling around the PD catheter exit site, belly button, groin

region, or genital area

 Leakage of fluid from the PD catheter exit site

 Difficulty breathing

 A child complaining of a "funny feeling" in the abdomen

 A child crying

 Unexpected increase in blood pressure

IIPV can occur because of one or more of the following reasons:

 Low Fill Mode is not programmed for patients whose fill volumes are less

than 1000 mL. These patients typically weigh less than 44 lbs (20 kg). The

Negative UF Limit should not be raised above 50% and the Minimum

Drain Volume % should not be lowered below 85% (the default values).

 The Initial Drain Alarm is programmed too low. The system may move on

to the first Fill before you are completely drained if:

– Your last therapy left you with more than your normal Last Fill

Volume

– You did not perform a manual drain

– A slow flow condition occurs before you are completely drained

Temporarily increase your I-Drain Alarm setting or perform a Manual

Drain to make sure that your Initial Drain is complete.

 The patient line length is greater than 12 feet (3.6 meters) and Initial

Drain Alarm is set below 30 mL. This can cause your Initial Drain to end

early.
