Every machine differs, but the sequence is always the same: prepare, check, connect, monitor, disconnect, disinfect.
What to know
- Work through the manufacturer checklist every time, even once it feels automatic.
- Never silence an alarm you do not understand — find the cause first.
- Keep the quick-reference guide and technical support number attached to the machine.
- If anything about the machine's behaviour is new to you, stop and call support.
Talk to your care team

Trivita's dialysis nurses answer our care line 24 hours a day on 055 242 1070, including for people who are not yet our patients.
