Indications for Use (Purpose of the Liberty cycler) The Fresenius Medical Care Liberty cycler is indicated for short term (acute) and long term (chronic) peritoneal dialysis.

EFFECTIVE

The Liberty cycler can provide the following therapies: continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD), intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD), peritoneal dialysis plus (PD+), and tidal peritoneal dialysis (TPD). Contraindications (When this machine should not be used) CAPD and CCPD are effective and attractive choices for many ESRD patients; however, no one dialysis therapy is right for all patients. The following health problems likely prevent or impair you from using the Liberty cycler:  Leaks across the inside of your body’s lining (Transdiaphramatic leakage)  A destructive metabolism (hypercatabolism)  Too little peritoneal membrane surface area  Multiple abdominal surgeries

This is a guideline only. Your doctor must make the final decision whether or not any medical device is appropriate for you. MR Unsafe: Liberty Cycler must not to be used in an MR environment. Liberty Cycler may pose unacceptable risks to the patient, medical staff or other persons within the MR environment. Peritoneal Dialysis Precautions Your doctor has prescribed peritoneal dialysis (PD) for you. There are risks to PD, but your doctor feels it is better to perform PD than not. Here are some things your doctor should consider:

You must perform PD treatments according to the prescription given to you by your physician and the manufacturer’s instructions. Not doing so, can sometimes result in harm. Abdominal pain, bleeding, infected peritoneal membrane (peritonitis), and a blocked catheter can cause problems with your treatment. Some dialysate solutions are stronger (higher percentage of dextrose) than others at removing fluids. It is important to use the right dialysate solution for your needs: the wrong dialysate solution may pull too much fluid (hypovolemia/ dehydration) out of your body and cause low blood Liberty Cycler User’s Guide

pressure (hypotension) or muscle cramping. Or it may pull too little fluid (hypervolemia) and cause high blood pressure (hypertension) or swelling (edema). You must continue to correctly remove fluid from your body. You and your PD nurse must work together to monitor your weight and blood chemistry levels. You must pay close attention to how you feel and report any changes to your PD nurse. This will help prevent such complications as congestive heart failure, volume depletion, overfill of solution, shock, and inadequate therapy. Follow your doctor’s prescription and instructions to reduce the risk of these problems that could result in serious complications.

General Warnings

Read all the warnings before beginning your treatment. Additional warning statements for each topic are found throughout the manual.

Warning: Read this entire user’s guide before beginning your treatment. You must be familiar with how to use your machine and with the features of this manual. If you do not follow these instructions to install and maintain this equipment, it may cause serious injury or death.

EFFECTIVE

Warning: Your doctor must prescribe your entire treatment. If you use incorrect values, it may cause serious injury or death. Do not use example values shown in machine pictures. Warning: In the event of an incomplete treatment, call your doctor or PD Nurse. Warning: Check for proper functioning of your machine before beginning your treatment. Alarm failure or unidentified problems could lead to serious health risks. Warning: Keep fingers clear of moving parts . Warning: The Liberty cycler is not sterile equipment. Only the interior of the tubing sets are sterilized. You must use aseptic technique (masking and hand washing) as directed by your PD nurse to prevent infection. Infections may cause serious injury or death. Warning: Check the heater tray to be sure it is free of obstructions and does not touch the top of your cycler cabinet. Interference with the heater tray may result in inaccurate dialysate weighing and possibly result in patient injury. Warning: Explosion Hazard. Do not use in the presence of flammable substances like anesthetics. Warning: Check that all tubing is free from kinks or damage (scratches, loose tubings, small holes) before beginning treatment. 16

Warning: Do not use damaged cassettes for your treatment or allow any liquid to drip in or on your machine. Spills from your treatment can lead to serious injury or death. If spills occur, you must contact Technical Support immediately at 1 800 227-2572. Do not attempt to clean or disinfect leaks inside your cycler. Warning: You must clean your machine to prevent contamination and infection.

EFFECTIVE

Warning: Do not use devices emitting strong electromagnetic radiation such as portable phones, radio equipment (walkietalkies, etc.), radio transmitters, and like equipment near your machine. Improper operation may result. Digital phones may be conditionally allowed. Discontinue use of any device if any interference is noted, such as false pressure readings that disappear when the external signal is removed. Warning: Increased Intraperitoneal Volume (IIPV), commonly known as Overfill, is when you have too much fluid in your abdomen. IIPV/overfill may result in serious injury or death from conditions such as: abdominal wall and/or diaphragmatic hernias, hydrothorax, heart problems including chest pain and heart failure, high blood pressure, pulmonary edema, decreased pulmonary function and pericardial effusion. Patients and caregivers should watch for the potential signs of IIPV. These include: difficulty breathing; vomiting or spitting up; feeling full, bloated, or overfilled after treatment; abdominal pain or discomfort; expanded or tense abdomen; chest pain, increased blood pressure, change in mental status, and leakage of fluid from the PD catheter exit site. If you experience any of these symptoms or feel a large, painful build-up of pressure during your fill, do not finish your fill cycle. Press the STOP key and immediately initiate a STAT Drain as instructed by your PD Nurse. See page 162 for more information on how to use the STAT Drain feature. Once the fluid is completely drained from your abdomen, call your doctor or PD Nurse.

Warning: If you have no Last Fill programmed on your cycler and you did a manual Fill during the day, your cycler does not know that you must drain additional fluid. If your catheter line then gets kinked during Drain 0 and the draining stops, your cycler may advance to Fill 1 before you have finished draining. This may cause an overfill situation which may lead to serious injury or death. Always make sure that you have drained enough during Drain 0 when your cycler starts Fill 1. Drain 0 may be bypassed under certain circumstances. If using a daytime dwell, please consult your health professional before bypassing Drain 0 since bypassing after a daytime dwell may result in reduced dialysis adequacy.

EFFECTIVE

Warning: Shock hazard. Do not remove Heater Tray. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. The electrical source must be single phase, three-conductor type at 120/250 VAC 50/60Hz. Your cycler needs a protective earth electrical ground connection. The outlet you use for your cycler must be checked and maintained for a good ground connection to protect you from risk of electrical shock. Warning: Shock hazard. The machine must be plugged directly into an electrical outlet; do not use extension cords or power strips. Do not use power cords other than those provided with your cycler. If you must connect your cycler to a 240V power source, contact Technical Support at 1 800 227-2572 for a power cord rated for 240V. Caution: Do not place your cycler near external heating or cooling sources like heaters or air conditioners. Caution: Your Liberty cycler contains an internal battery. This battery requires no periodic maintenance by the user and should not be replaced by the user. Caution: Your Liberty cycler is a computer controlled electromechanical medical device. It should be installed in an appropriate environment (indoors) free from extremes of temperature and humidity and reasonably protected from dust and dirt contamination or liquid splashes. Failure to install your Liberty cycler according to these guidelines may result in improper operation or early failure of the device or its parts. Caution: The maximum total weight on your cycler’s scale is 15 kg (33 lbs.) or three 5000 mL solution bags. Overloading the scale can cause damage to your cycler.

Caution: Use only cycler tubing sets intended for the Fresenius Medical Care Liberty cycler. Caution: Use only your fingertips on the Touch Screen and cycler keys. Use of other objects, such as pens, may result in damage or premature failure. Caution: The cassette door is pressurized. Do not attempt to open the cassette door until your machine instructs you to do so.

EFFECTIVE

Note: Your machine’s operation involves fluids: accidental spills can occur. Spills can cause damage to carpeting and other surfaces. To contain such spills, your machine should be on a spill-tolerant surface. Clean up spills immediately. Note: This manual shows tubing set model 050-87212 which has two stay•safe patient connectors on the patient line. If you use a different tubing set, your healthcare staff is responsible for providing alternate instructions. Fresenius Medical Care manufactures tubing sets for use with the model Liberty cycler. The performance of tubing sets not manufactured by Fresenius Medical Care cannot be guaranteed by Fresenius Medical Care and are therefore the responsibility of the prescribing physician. Caution: In order to prevent potentially hazardous conditions and ensure the safe operation of the Liberty Cycler, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Equipment must be kept at least 3 meters from the system while in operation.
