A:118 AK 98 Dialysis Machine - Profiling
HCEN12745 Revision 10.2016
Program version 2.xx
7.1 General
CAUTION!
The operator has to make sure that the profile chosen is suitable for the patient
treated. The profiling parameters have to be checked prior to the treatment.
With profiles it is possible to define patterns for treatment parameters. Predefined
profiles can be set-up by an authorised service technician.
The dialysis machine can use profiles for:
ā Ultrafiltration rate (UF rate)
ā Sodium Na
+
concentration
ā Bicarbonate HCO
3
-
concentration
Profiles can be activated in a treatment for any combination of these parameters.
7.2 Profiling of sodium and bicarbonate concentrations
Profiles for sodium (Na
+
) and bicarbonate (HCO3
-
) can have either increasing or
decreasing concentrations in the dialysis fluid. The concentration adjustment is smooth
and constant.
Figure 7-1. Linear graphs for sodium and bicarbonate profiling
NOTE!
If treatment time is changed during sodium and/or bicarbonate profiling the profiling
graphs will not change. As a consequence, the set stop values will not be reached if
treatment time is decreased.
NOTE!
If sodium and/or bicarbonate profiling is deactivated during treatment, the machine
will continue running on the values from the point at which it was stopped. If profiling
is reactivated without changed profiling parameters, the machine will continue
running from the point where profiling was deactivated.
