GETTING YOUR CYCLER READY (cont’d) WARNING! Check the Heater Tray and Bag Organizer to be sure they are free of obstructions and do not touch the top of the Cycler Cabinet or the Stand Pole (see figures below). Interference with the Heater Tray may result in inaccurate weighing of Dialysis Solution. Check again when all Solution bags are on the Scale.
EFFECTIVE
Check and make sure the Manifold Holder does not come in contact with the Bag Organizer, this may result in inaccurate weighing of Dialysis Solution. NOTE: Save the Cycler shipping box and the foam inserts in case the Cycler needs to be repacked.
CAUTION! The Newton IQ Cycler is a computer controlled electromechanical medical device. The Newton IQ Cycler should be installed in an appropriate environment (indoors) free from extremes of temperature and humidity. The cycler should not be placed near sources of contamination such as dirt, dust, or liquids. Failure to install the Newton IQ Cycler according to these guidelines may result in improper operation or early failure of the device or its components. CAUTION! Peritoneal dialysis solution should not be allowed to come into contact with the Pump-to-Drain assembly. Peritoneal dialysate leaves a dried salty residue that may be electrically conductive, leading to electrical shorts or corrosion of electrical or mechanical components. Mechanical components such as the valve heads or the cover may bind or corrode. 6

THE CYCLER FRONT PANEL
EFFECTIVE
There is a display screen and five buttons on the front of the Cycler.
Messages for operating the Cycler are displayed on the screen. The five control buttons work as follows: The [START] button is used to move forward through the phases of a treatment. After an alarm, pressing [START] continues the treatment. During programming, pressing [START] takes you back to the TREATMENT screens. The [STOP] button mutes alarms. During the treatment set-up phase, pressing [STOP] allows you to repeat a tubing flush or patient line prime. During the treatment, pressing [STOP] interrupts the treatment. The [SELECT] button takes you to the SETTINGS screen. A programming cursor (in the shape of an arrow) is located on the SETTINGS screen, between the treatment Setting and the Setting’s value. The cursor normally points to the left towards the Settings. There are two ways to change a Setting as follows: 1.
For a Setting having only two values (for example, “YES” or “NO”, or “ON” or “OFF”), use the [UP] or [DOWN] arrows to move the cursor on the screen to the Setting that needs to be changed. When the cursor is next to the desired Setting, press [SELECT] to change the Setting between “YES” and “NO” or “ON” and “OFF”. 7 Printed : 07/21/2014 12:50 PM EDT

3. TYPES OF THERAPY Four types of prescribed therapy are available for use with the Newton IQ Cycler. The therapies can also be divided into two subtypes: Continuous Therapy and Intermittent Therapy. In Continuous Therapy, you always have at least 50% or more of your usual Fill Volume present in your peritoneum. In Intermittent Therapy you may either be empty or have only a very small amount of Dialysis Solution present in your peritoneum for certain time periods.
EFFECTIVE
Each therapy is prescribed for very specific reasons. The common factor in cycling therapy is that exchanges are done during the nighttime hours when you are usually in bed sleeping. The main differences in the therapy types are what happens during the day while you are awake, and with how the solution is delivered to you during the night. The four types of therapy are described below. a. PD Plus Therapy PD Plus Therapy is a continuous therapy in which one or more exchanges are received during the day from the Cycler, in addition to the nighttime exchanges. These daytime exchanges are called PAUSE exchanges. With PD Plus Therapy, you carry Dialysis Solution in your peritoneum during the day. This allows for continuous waste product and fluid removal. This type of therapy provides you with fresh Dialysis Solution from exchanges that take place nearly around-the-clock. b. Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD) Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD) is a Continuous Therapy. CCPD is the most common cycling therapy prescribed. With CCPD, you have Dialysis Solution in your peritoneum at all times but the exchanges are done only at night by the Cycler. You receive several exchanges while you sleep. The last thing that the Cycler will do is Fill you for the day. You do no other exchanges during the day. When you reconnect to the Cycler, you must first drain the dialysate that has been dwelling in you during the day. This type of therapy resembles a Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) schedule which is performed without a cycler, but with CCPD the exchanges are reversed. Three or more exchanges are done through the night, and one long exchange is done during the day. 9 Printed : 07/21/2014 12:50 PM EDT
TYPES OF THERAPY (cont’d) c. Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (IPD) Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (IPD), as its name suggests, is an Interrupted or Intermittent Therapy. With IPD, you will receive your exchanges every night from the Cycler while you are sleeping, but you will not have any Dialysis Solution in your peritoneum during the day while you are awake. IPD is also sometimes referred to as Nightly Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (NIPD).
EFFECTIVE
d. Tidal Peritoneal Dialysis (TPD) Tidal Peritoneal Dialysis differs from other Dialysis therapies in the way that Dialysis Solution is delivered to you during the nighttime. With TPD you are filled with a prescribed amount of solution, then only a portion is drained and refilled with each exchange. Depending on your prescription, you may end the treatment with a Fill or a Drain. Setting the different therapy types is done by programming the Newton IQ Cycler Settings and Options. Detailed instructions for programming the cycler for each of the four types of Peritoneal Dialysis therapies are on the following pages. Your physician should prescribe the therapy that is best for you.

You will program the HOUR Setting using a 24-Hour system; for example, enter 00:00 for 12 AM (midnight), 12:00 for 12 PM (noon), and 18:00 for 6 PM, etc. The time will be shown by the cycler at the STANDBY screen using a 12-Hour system with AM and PM after the time (for example, 6:00 AM, 12:00 PM, etc.). You must press [SELECT] after you make a change to the date or time to save it. After you have updated the date and time at this screen, press [START] two times to return to the STANDBY screen. The date and time will be displayed in the lower right hand corner of this screen. 11 Printed : 07/21/2014 12:50 PM EDT
5. TREATMENT SETTINGS AND OPTIONS General treatment Settings and Options are programmed into the Newton IQ Cycler at the manufacturer. You must reprogram the Cycler Settings and Options for your personal prescription before you start your first treatment. Do the following to access the Settings and Options:
EFFECTIVE
NOTE: You may skip this section and refer to the “USING THE PRESCRIPTION UPLOAD FEATURE” of these Operator Instructions if you are told by your physician or dialysis nurse to use the Upload feature. 1.

TREATMENT SETTINGS AND OPTIONS (cont’d) Additional Settings and Options that are not displayed on the initial screen are available by pressing the [DOWN] arrow. Descriptions of the various Settings and Options follow. a. Patient Weight (PT WEIGHT)
EFFECTIVE
(Range is 0, and 20 – 500 lbs. or 0 and 9 – 227 kgs.) You may enter your initial weight here, in either pounds (lbs.) or kilograms (kgs.). Refer to the “ADDITIONAL OPTIONS” section of this manual to learn how to set the Cycler for recording your weight in either pounds or kilograms The Patient Weight value will automatically be updated after each treatment if your physician or dialysis nurse has you use the Patient Data Entry feature of the Cycler. Refer to the “PATIENT DATA ENTRY” section of these instructions to learn how to use the Patient Data Entry feature of the Cycler. b. Number of Fills (# FILLS) (Range is 1 – 20 Fills) The # FILLS is the number of times the peritoneum is filled will dialysate fluid. The # FILLS includes any programmed Pause volumes, CCPD volumes, and Last Fill volume. A Last Fill volume of zero is not counted in the number of Fills because no fill volume is delivered to the peritoneum. NOTE: This number is prescribed by your physician. c. Number of Pauses (# PAUSES) (Range is 0 – 5 Pauses) The # PAUSES indicates the number of PAUSES you are supposed to do during the treatment. A PAUSE is a special type of Dwell that allows you to Dwell while either connected or disconnected from the Cycler. It also differs from other Dwells because it is not a timed function; that is, you can PAUSE for as short or long as you would like.
