Heparin shut off time on Cobe C3

Published

Hi all! Quick question.... On the Cobe C3 machine, If a patient has a heparin shut off after 3 hours of a 4 hour treatment do you enter 60 minutes or 180 minutes where it says Heparin shut off time? I have been out of dialysis for about a year and for the life of me I can't remember how I entered this. The person who is re-orienting me to the machine does not use the heparin pump so she dosen't know and I have still not received a procedural manual (I am doing acute mobile dialysis and there is not one readily available).

Thanks so much

Hi!

If I remember properly, you should enter 60 minutes.
