Figure 2. (A) Prismaflex continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) circuit control unit utilized for the treatment of this patient. (B) The connection of two 3-mL syringes infusing 0.9% normal saline via a plastic connector (red arrows) are shown, which bypasses the infrared blood leak detector. This enabled therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and CRRT to proceed without repeated activation of the blood leak detector alarm.
