Title: Cycler EATS itself
Post by: Vt Big Rig on April 26, 2016, 06:34:40 AM
Last night was the last night I would be doing a treatment at my house (we are moving Friday, sessions Thursday and Friday at clinic).

About half way through the cycler starts making strange noises. I know it is a pump noise but it is not too bad. When we get to the "5" caution I try to turn up the dialsate volume and all hell breaks loose.

603 alarms which we could not clear, find the book (which was packed) try turning machine on and off, nope more 603s. Ok, lets try rinse-back. Get to screen, as soon as pumps starts a cement mixer is in my room. Another 603. OK, manual rinse back (note book is packed). We forgot to open the door to cycler. Why won't it squeeze out? DUH ...... finally get rinseback done and I am glad we are done with this particular cycler.

Not my leisurely last treatment at this house I had hoped for......

it will get better ... right???

Like the tech who gave me a farewell on my last treatment as an in-center patient (wrist to armpit infiltration)

Too bad you couldn't just pack it up and tell them you're going on a loooong vacation!  ::)

Our previous cycler was louder than normal when we got the thing.

We called complained about the noise.

No Help

Finally we wore it out and got a new one.

The new one is so quiet....................

Hope your new one is quiet for you.
