Problem with Baxter

[murf]

I have been put onto purple bags(extraneal) to stop my weight ballooning. The problem is that they are from Baxter and I am on a Fresinius machine. They don't coordinate too well. I find the purple bags so temperamental. As soon as the last inflow starts the alarm comes on. I have to massage the fluid through to make it work. This happens every time. Does anyone have any suggestions to overcome this pain in the neck. BTW, it is working. My weight is slowing falling.

I have Baxter bags and a Baxter machine and I always have trouble with the red bags and the first fill.  I have to get up and smack at it with all my might to get it to start. Sorry, not good advice. Wish I had better for you. I think there's an issue with the new bag connections (the screw on type) and the higher concentration solutions.

I'd have advice for you, but I practically drowned in my own accumulated fluids before I could make my first Extraneal order. I had Fresenius equipment. I wasn't really sure how I'd even connect the two different systems.

Sorry.
