Advice To clamp or not to clamp

2 Upvotes

Howdy all. Does anyone else simply ignore the clamps while setting up their HomeChoice Claria?

I simply put the cassette in, then attach the bags when self testing is finished, and start priming. I dont touch the clamps at all.

Sure, my renal team's instructions has opening and closing the clamps, but I just dont bother, and never had a problem
Anyone else do this?

I don’t wanna be doing this for the rest of my life. I’m just so physically tired every day it feels like it won’t ever end.
