Good tip with the pause button Lis Could you also tell us how to clear the alarm to go to automatic rinseback?

Thanx already, Cas

Hi Cassandra, Caregiver Tech explains it well. If you have a yellow 9 alarm like we did (which we got after the red alarm which meant "no more dialysate" which we cleared by hitting stop and start which put it into a yellow 9), we were told to watch for the yellow 9 ending and before the red alarm gets a chance to come back, that is when you hit stop. Hold and press stop like caregiver tech explains it. That puts it into automatic rinse back. Here is a copy of caregiver tech 1's response:

You can get to the auto rinse back any time by 1) hit stop 2) press stop agaiin (stay pressed) until 000 appears  and 3) hit stop once more.

Thank you thank you, thanx.
Maybe we should start a special thread for those.
Yesterday I learned that when you are peacefully in a session and the cycler alarm goes into hyper on red alarm 601, you can't mute this alarm.... You check all lines and connections and when all is good (apart from your head splitting from the noise) turn off cycler, turn on again and hit 'play' , all should be okay after that.
