5K/DOQI Guidelines for Monitoring AV Grafts and
Fistulas
- Intra-access flow measurements are the preferred
method of A-V graft and fistula surveillance. - A patient with an access flow less than 600
ml/min should be referred for fistulogram. - A patient with an access flow less than 1000
ml/min that has decreased by more than 25 over
four months should be referred for fistulogram.
6K/DOQI Guidelines for Recirculation
- Any access recirculation is abnormal.
Recirculation exceeding 5 using a non-urea based
dilutional method should prompt investigation of
its cause. - If access recirculation values exceed 20,
correct placement of needles should be confirmed.

26Access Recirculation
27Benefits of Measuring Access Recirculation
- Transonic is the only technology that identifies
access recirculation. - Optimizes Catheter Performance.
- Detects inadvertent reversal of dialysis lines.
28Recirculation is Tested in the Normal Line
Position
Black arrows simulate saline flow either by
saline release or bolus injection in the presence
of recirculation
29Access Recirculation Protocol
- Click on the recirculation icon in the lower
right corner of the screen or press F9. - Entered optional parameters and click OK.
- Click on Start Protocol or press the Space Bar.
- When the traffic light turns green, open the
pressure limits on the dialysis machine. - Release saline from the saline bag for 5 to 6
seconds or inject 10 ml of saline before or into
venous bubble trap. - The software will count down from 60 seconds
during the measurement process.
30Abort Analysis
- To cancel a measurement, click on the Abort
Analysis icon in the middle of the screen. - You can abort the analysis of any measurement at
any time during the 60 second countdown. - The main reason for aborting the analysis is
because the pump has stopped.
31Access Recirculation Result
The Dilution Curve and Percent Recirculation will
appear on the screen. The measurement result is
stored in the measurement table.
32gt0 Recirculation (REC)
- If the initial recirculation value is gt0, please
follow these steps - Repeat measurement at same pump flow as first
measurement. - If REC is gt0, stop dialysis blood pump, reverse
blood lines and repeat measurement at same pump
flow as the previous measurement. - If REC is 0 or REC is lt initial value, blood
lines are inadvertently reversed. - If REC is gt initial value, blood lines were in
normal position for the initial measurement and
REC is present.
33Vascular Access Flow
34Vascular Access Flow is Tested in the Reversed
Line Position
Black arrows simulate saline flow either by
saline release or bolus injection during access
flow measurement
35Vascular Access Flow Protocol
- Click on the Access Flow icon in the lower right
corner of the screen or press F10. - Stop the dialysis blood pump, reverse the blood
lines at the needle connection and set the
dialysis pump at 250-300 ml/min. - Enter optional parameters and click OK.
- Click on Start Protocol or press the Space Bar.
- When the traffic light changes to green, open the
pressure limits on the dialysis machine. - Release saline from the saline bag for 5 to 6
seconds or inject 10 ml of saline before or into
venous bubble trap. - The software will count down from 60 seconds
during the measurement process.
36Access Flow Result
The Dilution Curve and Access Flow value will
appear on the screen. The measurement result is
stored in the measurement table.
37Very Important
When you end the patient session or conduct a
recirculation or cardiac output measurement after
the access flow measurement, reverse bloodlines
back to normal position.
38Cardiac Output
39Cardiac Output Measurement
- Arrows simulate saline flow through
cardiopulmonary system during cardiac output
measurement
HD02
40Cardiac Output Setup
- Flow-QC tubing is required for Cardiac Output
measurements. - Insert Flow-QC tubing set (see instructions
inside the Flow-QC tubing box) into the
hemodialysis circuit during priming of the
dialysis line. - Remove all air bubbles from the Flow-QC tubing
set during priming. - Place three 30 ml Becton-Dickinson syringes into
the syringe warmer. Please refer to the syringe
warmer instructions for use.
41Required Parameters
- Height, weight, heart rate and blood pressure
are required parameters that need to be entered
in order for the system to calculate Cardiac
Index, Central Blood Volume, Central Blood Volume
Index, Peripheral Resistance, Systemic Cardiac
Index and Stroke Volume.
42Cardiac Output Protocol
- Make sure sensors are placed on the Flow-QC
tubing. - Select Flow-QC tubing from the tubing list.
- Click on the Cardiac Output icon in the lower
right corner of the screen or press F11. - Enter optional parameters and click OK.
- Set pump to 200 ml/min.
- Click on Start Protocol or press the Space Bar.
- Enter required parameters. Click OK.
- When the traffic light turns green, open the
pressure limits on the dialysis machine. - Inject 30-ml of warmed saline into the injection
port of the Flow-QC tubing. - The software will count down from 60 seconds
during the measurement process.

45End Patient Session
- To end a patient
- session, press F1 or
- click the stop session icon.
46TroubleshootingTips
47Saline Release
Release saline 5-6 seconds from infusion bag.
48Bolus Injection
- Use saline injection method whenever the pump
flow is below 200 ml/min or no result is obtained
with saline release method. - Draw 10 ml of saline from patients saline bag
and inject at a steady pace before or into the
Venous bubble trap.
49Venous Pressure Alarms
When releasing saline, open the venous pressure
limits to avoid pump stoppage.
50Low Flow
An access with low flow and NO recirculation
could indicate a stenosis between the needles.
51Incorrect Sensor Placement
- Problem Ultrasound signal quality indicator is
not full or there is a negative delivered flow
reading on the HD02 monitor. - Possible Solutions
- Check that the sensors are on the blood line
tubing, not on the needle tubing. - Check that the arterial sensor is on the arterial
blood line and the venous sensor is on the venous
blood line. - Check that the arrows on the sensors are pointing
in the direction of flow. - Apply a small amount of Vasoline in the sensing
cavity of the sensors.
5210 Difference Between Delivered and Prescribed
Blood Flow
- Possible Causes
- Mis-calibration of dialysis machine and/or
Transonic H4E Sensors. - Flow limited by needle size or needle placement.
- Not adequate roller pump tubing segment occlusion
or dialysis tubing kinked. - Possible Solutions
- Check for occluded or kinked tubing.
- Make sure the selected tubing in the software
program matches the tubing used on the patient. - Set dialysis machine pump flow at 200 mL/min and
compare it to the delivered pump flow - If difference is lt6, then calibration of
dialysis machine and sensors are OK. Check the
following - Make sure that the tips of the needles are not
pressed against the wall of the access. - Consider needle size.
- If difference gt6, check calibration of dialysis
machine and/or Transonic H4E Sensors.
53Catheters
When testing catheters, you cannot measure Access
Flow or Cardiac Output.
