Alarms - Pressure monitors




Pressure monitors:
  • The pressure range is -400 to +350 mmHg with an accuracy of ±10%
  • Alarm limits are set at ±10% of the pressure setting
  • Pressure in the dialysate compartment should not exceed that in the blood compartment or there is an increased risk of blood contamination by unsterile dialysate secondary to dialyzer membrane rupture and back filtration
  • Ultafiltration in controlled by transmembrane pressure
