8.1.1 Preventive maintenance procedures
WARNING!
The initial installation, start up procedure, and maintenance of the AK 98 dialysis
machine may only be performed by the Gambro Technical Service organization or a
person authorised by Gambro, fulfilling the specified qualifications stated in Section
1.7 “Competence of an authorised service technician” on page13.
To ensure proper operation of the AK 98 dialysis machine, a qualified service
technician shall perform a complete series of preventive maintenance procedures at
regular intervals.
The preventive maintenance procedures have been devised to require a minimum of
time while ensuring that the machine is maintained in optimum operation condition.
Included in the preventive maintenance procedures are checks to verify normal
machine operation. Should the machine fail to pass any of these tests, repair or
calibration might be needed, then repeat the tests until the specifications are met.
It is mandatory to perform at least a preventive maintenance every second year.
A yearly maintenance is recommended. The rate of preventive maintenance might be
different due to variations of the operating environment.
The AK 98 dialysis machine will perform as designed only if it is used and maintained
in accordance with Gambro’s instructions.
Any warranties made by Gambro with respect to the AK 98 dialysis machine are void if
the equipment is not used in accordance with the instructions provided. Gambro will
not accept responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from improper use or
maintenance or unauthorised repair.
