OK, last night I started priming a new PAK on my Pureflow. It was late, and I was expecting to have to get up in the middle of the night and do what needs to be done once the PAK is done priming (clamp water inlet line, etc.) Well, I ended up sleeping through the entire night, and this morning I discovered that the Pureflow was already in standby mode. I also noticed that the Pureflow's front door was slightly ajar. I opened it and discovered the line was already clamped. The only explanation is that when the Pureflow beeped to let me know it was done priming, I got up, clamped the line, and hit go to put it in standby mode, completely in my sleep! I have ABSOLUTELY NO RECOLLECTION of doing anything with my Pureflow in the middle of the night. I know the NxStage system is easy to use, but apparently it's so easy you don't even have to be awake to operate it  :lol;. I guess I really do eat, sleep, and breath dialysis.
