The Basics
The Operator’s Panel of the A K 96 dialysis machine consists of; a time
display at the top of the panel, a Flow Diagram b
elow this, function
buttons, a key pad (setting keys) and an Information Display. The
purpose of these components is to inform the operator of status and
parameter values and also to guide the oper
ator through the various
procedures.
Thetimedisplayshows if the functi
on check is ongoing. It also shows
the time left for ongoing procedures.
The Flow Diagram is an essential
part of the operators panel. It
shows status and flow direction of the dialysis fluid. This is done by
illuminating and changing the c olours of the fluid path. The blood
path on the Flow Diagram li
ghts up red when blood has been detected
in the venous blood line.
The buttons are either f
unction buttons or setting keys. The function
buttons give access to a variety of functions and parameters. Some
function buttons only give access to one function. This applies when
direct access to a f
unction is necessary. Other buttons give access to
several functions, each of which can be accessed by using the setting
keys concurrently with text guidelines on the Information Display.
The Information Display is placed at the bottom of the Operator’s
Panel. It continuously shows information about ongoing procedures,
alarms and ac
tivities. The keypad is placed immediately to the right of
the Information Display.
