Environmental Conditions
6.1 Operating Conditions
The HomeChoice and HomeChoice PRO APD Systems are designed for use in these
conditions:
Temperature between 59°F to 96.8°F (15°C to 36°C)
Humidity between 15% and 85%
Altitude of –1,100 ft to +10,000 ft (–340 m to +3,050 m)
6.2 Use While Traveling
The system is designed to be portable and to allow you to travel. To be sure that
your therapies continue smoothly, contact your dialysis center about the
following:
When you will not be taking your supplies with you, arrange with your
dialysis center well in advance of your trip. Your solution and disposable
sets can be delivered to you at your destination.
If you are traveling out of the region where you live, inquire about any
emergency contact information that you will need.
If you are traveling to another country, the solution bag connection
method may be different. Your dialysis center can provide you with
information about any differences in supplies and connection methods.
Some regions of the world use different voltage levels, frequencies, and
plug shapes. Ask your dialysis center about the use of approved plug
adaptors. Also ask about step-up or step-down isolation transformers
with a minimum rating of 500 watts (continuous). Use an isolation
transformer in countries with the same voltage as the U.S. if there is any
doubt about the proper grounding of an electrical outlet.
