Testing the 2008K hemodialysis machine
Before beginning treatment, the machine should undergo Pressure and Alarm tests to ensure
that it is functioning properly. Press the Both Tests button in the “Test & Options” screen to
start the test. The 2008K hemodialysis machine can be configured so that this testing is
mandatory after power up providing that the force test option is selected. In this case, the test
will start on its own.
To run the test sequence,
The dialyzer lines must be connected to the shunt with the interlock door closed.
The machine must be in an alarm-free condition by allowing sufficient time for the
dialysate to reach proper conductivity and temperature. This takes about five minutes
from the time the concentrate is confirmed on the dialysate screen (see Figure 20 on page
45).
Arterial and venous monitor lines must be clamped and removed from the pressure
monitor ports so the monitor ports are open to atmosphere.
UF and SVS must be off.
Warning! It is essential that the 2008K hemodialysis machine balancing system is operating
properly. The machine must successfully complete a Pressure test before each treatment,
especially when using high-flux dialyzers.
