Manual Rinseback

In case of NxStage Failure (system error, unrecoverable), inspect system for air/clotting and then attempt manual rinse back. This procedure bypasses the machine safety for catching air and relies on the user to monitor. Do Not use this method if there is air in the blood lines.

Have you done this live?

There isn’t much difference between a manual rinse back vs a regular rinse back. That weird computer monitor on top of the NxStage machine is not present on my VersiHD. Instead, I have a Nx2Me app on an iPad. I would probably never opt to do a manual rinse back. If the machine malfunctions, I just wouldn’t return my blood.
