What is the meaning of a venous pressure alarm? - ANSWER-
Something is blocking the return of the blood to the access.
This alarm may indicate a kink on the venous bloodline, an
infiltrated venous needle, a clotted access, any clotting from the
venous chamber to the patient's access.
What is the meaning of an arterial pressure alarm? - ANSWER-
AP is the amount of pressure it takes to "pull" the blood from the
access to get it to the dialyzer. Since it is a pull, it is a negative
pressure. Anything that blocks the pull of the blood from the
access to the blood pump will create an increased negative AP
and will cause a low AP alarm. TOO much pressure will cause
RBC's to hemolyze and release potassium into the blood stream,
therefore when the pressure is too high, a high AP alarm will
sound.
What is the meaning of a TMP alarm? - ANSWER-TMP measures
the transmembrane or total membrane pressure - the pressure

difference across the membrane fibers inside the dialyzer. It
reflects the total pressure across the membrane used to achieve
the desired fluid loss. As fibers clot off in the dialyzer, TMP rises.
What does the blood pressure alarm mean? - ANSWER-BP is
under or above normal limits. Blood pump does not stop.
What is the meaning on the conductivity alarm? - ANSWER-When
conductivity exceeds or drops below the preset parameters the
dialysate will go into bypass to prevent the possibility of hemolysis
or crenation.
Patient safety checks are performed every _______. - ANSWER-
30 minutes
