16 Appendix
When using the Diapact® CRRT to perform Haemoperfusion the SCUF mode – to be selected under dialysis
therapies, continuous (see page 16-5) – is used with a different set-up. During all the steps SCUF will be
displayed on the screen as therapy mode selected.
The instructions on the screen will describe SCUF. Please follow this Instructions for Use carefully
for Haemoperfusion as there are some changes in the order of steps to be carried out that differ
from the SCUF screens displayed.
Please note it is of absolute importance that you follow manufacturer’s instructions for use for all the products.
Description
In Haemoperfusion therapy the Diapact® CRRT machine pumps blood from the vascular access of the patient via
an extracorporeal circuit through the Adsorber. Life threatening toxins are removed as the blood passes over the
adsorbent surface and the treated blood is returned to the patient.

Indication
The Haemoperfusion is indicated for the removal of life threatening toxic substances from the patient’s blood.

16.4 Preparation
After modality selection and confirmation, the display
shows the following <PREPARATION> screen.
Several tests are performed. The respective test is
displayed in the therapy status field:
The lines of the SCUF kit are colour-coded to facilitate the set-up.
• Arterial line (red)
• Venous line (blue)
• Ultrafiltration line (yellow)
Pumps used:
• Blood pump (MP1)
• Ultrafiltration pump (MP2) (during priming and rinsing only)
Risk of infection and blood loss for the patient by damaged packaging or components
or incorrect handling of disposables
¾ Only open the packaging of the disposables just before its use.
WARNING ¾ Use aseptic technique when handling disposables.
¾ Ensure during set-up that the packaging of the material used (line system,
adsorber, solution bags) is undamaged.
¾ During set-up check the material for integrity.
¾ Observe the respective instructions for use.
Installation of bags
¾ Attach the 2L bag with isotonic sodium chloride
solution and the collecting bag to the bag holder of the
load cell.
¾ Close the clamp of the outlet on collecting bag (the
tube equipped with the plug at the lower position)
If the weight on the load cell is unevenly distributed, there is a risk that the device
may topple.
¾ Distribute weight on the bag holder evenly.
CAUTION The maximal load of the load cell is 27 kg.
Ensure closure of the clamp of the collecting bag outlet (the tube equipped with the plug at the
lower position).
Set-up overview
¾ Check the set-up before starting the priming procedure.
¾ Take care that all connections are firmly screwed together.
¾ Check that all pump segments are inserted clockwise.
¾ Check that the arterial line and venous line are connected
to the adsorber by-pass adapter.
¾ Check that the following clamps are closed:
• Sampling port before the blood pump.
• Heparin line if it is not used
• Unused line at the venous chamber
• Line with the plug at the collecting bag(s)
¾ Check that Ultrafiltration line is connected to the arterial
post-blood pump port.
¾ Ensure arterial post-blood pump port is unclamped.
Ensure that all relevant clamps are opened and that all connections are firmly screwed together
before starting the priming procedure.
16.5 Priming
¾ After set-up of the consumables and checking the
connections, select <PRIMING> and confirm by

¾ Check that the withdrawal pressure (arterial
pressure – PA) is within the prescribed range.
¾ When the blood starts to fill the venous line, stop
the blood pump and connect the venous line to
the venous access of the patient.
¾ Start the blood pump again by pressing the
or keys.
¾ Check that the arterial and venous pressure values
displayed on the screen are within the normal
range.
During therapy, the arterial chamber should be about 50 % filled, the venous chamber
about 80 %.
