General precautions before use WARNING Unauthorized modifications, alterations or repair and lack of maintenance or calibration of the AK 200 S may result in malfunctioning or have other serious consequences for the safe operation of the equipment. WARNING CAUTION The AK 200 S may only be operated by persons trained in hemodialysis and who have studied the instructions in this manual. The user/operator should draw special attention towards the text valid for the Safety philosophy of the machine. See section "Safety philosophy" in chapter 1. Verify that the first digit of the program version of both the machine and the manual is the same. If the AK 200 S does not perform as described in this manual, it should not be used until the condition is rectified.

When unpacking, check the equipment for any signs of damage. If the equipment is in any way damaged, proper operation can not be assured. Patients connected to the AK 200 S should be monitored by competent medical personnel, learned intermediaries or the like, since life threatening circumstances sometime arise that may not activate alarms. The operator should pay attention to all appropriate alarms and follow the instructions, warnings, cautions, and notes given in this manual. It is imperative that the machine has passed the function check before connecting a patient. During installation all calibration checks must be completed before the machine is used to dialyze a patient. The AK 200 S needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in the "Technical data and specifications" chapter in this manual. The use of mobile telephones or communication equipment in the vicinity of the AK 200 S could adversely influence the performance of the machine. For further information, see the "Technical data and specifications" chapter in this manual. The AK 200 S 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 200 S 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 unauthorized repair. CAUTION → → →



1:5

→ → → CAUTION Preventive inspection, maintenance and calibration of the AK 200 S shall be performed by a fully trained service technician according to the Maintenance Manual in the AK 200 S Service Manual which can be ordered from your Gambro representative. It is mandatory for preventive maintenance to be performed at least every other year. Yearly maintenance is recommended. The interval between preventive maintenance procedures might differ due to operating environment variations.

The AK 200 S dialysis machine is in compliance with certain requirements concerning patient leakage current from the dialysis fluid in accordance with international standards and regulations. When a central venous catheter is used, and the tip of the catheter is close to the heart, it is however necessary to take extra precautions to minimize the risk for arrythmia due to leakage currents. For these treatments it is necessary to connect the potential equalization conductor between the AK 200 S and the potential equalization bus bar in the electrical installation. To minimize the leakage currents from other electrical equipment it is recommended to place such equipment outside the patient area. Any equipment within the patient area shall fulfil the IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-1 standards and be a part of the potential equalization. One way to minimize the leakage currents from equipment within the patient area is to electrically isolate it. Make sure leakage current values are below respective limit required by CF type applied parts. Check with service technician. If your clinic/hospital use a central venous catheter during treatments please make sure your machine is equipped with a potential equalization connection. If not please contact your local Gambro Service Technician for further assistance. CAUTION

Intended use The Gambro AK 200 S System is designed to be used as a single patient machine to perform hemodialysis treatments upon prescription by a physician. Patient counselling and teaching of treatment techniques are directly under the supervision and discretion of the physician. The AK 200 S System comprises of two monitors; one blood monitor (BM 200 or BM 202) and one fluid monitor (FM 202). The monitors are placed on a mobile stand (MS 200 or MS 202). The blood monitor is designed to control and supervise the extracorporeal blood circuit. Single needle treatment can be performed with one pump (double clamp function) or with two pumps (BM 202 only). To prevent coagulation, anticoagulantia may be administered by means of a heparin pump. The fluid monitor is designed to produce the dialysis fluid at a desired temperature, conductivity and pressure within given specifications, and to supervise the dialysis fluid. Both acetate and bicarbonate treatments can be performed. CAUTION Patient education, counselling, home care follow-up and medical maintenance must be performed under the direction of and supervision by the physician prescribing the treatment. Gambro specifically denies any responsibility for patient education, counselling or home care and medical maintenance.

When AK 200 S is used to produce bicarbonate containing dialysis fluid originating from non-liquid concentrates, the AK 200 S is designed and validated for use with the Gambro BiCart® system. When AK 200 S is used to produce sodium chloride containing dialysis fluid originating from non-liquid concentrates, the AK 200 S is designed and validated for use with the Gambro BiCart Select® system, i.e. the SelectCart® cartridge and SelectBag® concentrate. Gambro does not accept responsibility for use of other non-liquid concentrate containers. CAUTION

Safety philosophy The AK 200 S is designed according to the current standards for hemodialysis equipment, IEC 60601-2-16. This means that safety under so-called Single Fault Conditions is granted. In practice this means that controllable treatment parameters (i.e. conductivity, temperature and ultrafiltration) are controlled by one system, the control system, and monitored by another completely separate protective system, utilizing its own sensors, electrical circuits and microprocessors. The functionality of the protective system is checked by the AK 200 S before each treatment. A fault detection during the pre-treatment tests will make it impossible to start the treatment. In order to verify that the corresponding control and protective systems are operating with the correct input values, the user is instructed to compare the readings of the current bargraph display and the information display, before connecting the patient. The bargraph displays show the set value, the actual value and the alarm limits for the control system, while the information display shows the corresponding values from the protective system. If these comparisons are not satisfactory, call your service technician. The protective system will, when a parameter (measured by the protective system) is outside the alarm limits, put the AK 200 S into a patient-safe condition. This means that the protective system can stop the blood pump, close the venous clamp, prevent the dialysis fluid from reaching the dialyzer and alert the operator with sound and light. The ultrafiltration control system, the UF-cell, control the ultrafiltration volume with an accuracy corresponding to ± 50 ml x passed treatment time (h) or ±2,5%. If the accumulated UF volume, measured by the UF-cell, differs more than 200 ml from the expected volume the machine issues an attention. In addition to this system there are independent ultrafiltration measuring systems, protective systems, as described below. In AK 200 S an independent ultrafiltration measuring system based on restrictor flow measurement (FRN) is used as protective system for the UF-volume. For further description, see chapter 3. It is automatically checked before each treatment and a failure will make it impossible to start the treatment. The default alarm limit is set to 800 ml. The accuracy of the system is ±120 ml/h. This means that for a four hour treatment the maximum weight deviation without any alarm issued is less than 1280 g (800 + 4 x 120). As an additional precaution it is recommended that competent personnel supervise the patient and that the blood pressure is checked regularly. This protective system can be disabled via a preset. If this is done the remaining supervision is based on the transmembrane pressure, see further below for description of this system.



1:9

As an extra precaution there is also a system for supervision of the UF-rate. This system is available on condition that the FRN system is not disabled. The UF rate supervision is using the FRN system and the measured UF rate is supervised against a limit. This limit constitutes the maximum allowed deviation between the UF rate measured by FRN and the UF rate measured by the UF cell over a period of 2 minutes. The default limit is set to 5 ml/min. The accuracy of the system is ± 2 ml/min. If this limit, i.e. 5 ml/min, is violated the system initiates a taration of the UF measuring system. If the limit is violated more than four times during 30 minutes, the machine terminates the treatment and a technical error is issued. In addition, an independent ultrafiltration measuring system based on the transmembrane pressure is used as protective system. Alarm limits for TMP related to the dialyzer UF coefficient and the expected UF rate, are to be set around the actual TMP value when starting treatment. The TMP alarm limit correspond to a UF-deviation limit described by TMPAlarm limit x UFcoefficient. Example: If the alarm window is set to ±50 mmHg and the UF-coefficient is 10 ml/mmHg x h the maximum weight deviations without any alarm is ±500 g/h. Default the alarm window is set to ±100 mmHg. It is essential to ensure that the alarm window is set as close as possible to the working TMP. As an additional precaution it is recommended that competent personnel supervise the patient and that the blood pressure is checked regularly. The composition of the dialysis fluid is supervised by the protective system using an independent conductivity measuring system. The dialysis fluid conductivity and temperature systems are automatically checked before each treatment. A failure will make it impossible to start the treatment. To protect the patient against a hazardous blood loss to the environment the AK 200 S incorporates a venous pressure monitoring system. This system will react upon a change in the venous pressure, i.e when the pressure falls below the low alarm limit. It must be observed that under certain pressure/flow conditions a blood loss to the environment may not be able to cause the venous pressure to fall below the low alarm limit. To avoid blood loss to the environment it is essential to ensure that all connections in the extracorporeal blood circuit are tight and secured, that the fistula needle is correctly positioned and secured and that the low alarm limit is set as close as possible to the working venous pressure. A visual monitoring by the user/operator is recommended. The venous, arterial and system pressure measuring system is checked automatically at positive, atmospheric and negative pressure before each treatment. A failure will make it impossible to start the treatment. The supervision of the stop time of the blood pump is the protection system against patient blood loss due to coagulation during treatment. The operator will be notified via an attention alarm that the blood pump stop time has been exceeded.

1:10



The blood leak detector system, which utilizes an optical sensor, is automatically tested before each treatment for being able to detect transparency (no blood) and non-transparency (blood). If the system cannot detect these states, it is impossible to start the treatment. Furthermore, the system is checked every 5 minutes to ensure that it is able to detect non-transparency. If not, the system will act as if a blood leak alarm has occurred and enter a patient safe condition. The air detector utilizes an ultrasonic sensing system in which the transmitter is handled by one microprocessor and the receiver by another. The system is continuously tested for being able to detect an air leakage condition. If this test is not successful the system will act as if an air detection has occurred and the machine will enter a patient safe condition. If the AK 200 S is used to perform Hemodiafiltration, low volume, an independent substitution flow supervision system is used as protective system. It is based on restrictor measuring as well as pump speed measuring. For the restrictor measuring it is essential that a correct infusion line is used to obtain specified level of safety. For a more detailed information, please refer to the AK 200 S Service Manual.



1:11

The preparation of dialysis fluid Inlet water requirements The chemical and microbiological quality of the water used to prepare fluids for dialysis is an important factor for achieving and maintaining the proper quality of the dialysis fluid. The quality of the water depends on the technical equipment for water treatment. Further, proper maintenance of the water treatment system and of the water distribution loop is essential. The inlet water must comply with valid standards for water for dialysis; see chapter “Technical data and specifications/Water supply” in this manual for more details.

Preparation of the dialysis fluid The AK 200 S prepares dialysis fluid from inlet water and concentrates. The dialysis fluid should be made from dry concentrates (such as the BiCart Select® products) or from an acidic (A) concentrate and a dry bicarbonate concentrate (such as the BiCart® cartridge). It can also be made from an acidic (A) concentrate and a liquid bicarbonate (B) concentrate or from an acetate concentrate. See “List of concentrates” in this chapter.

UFD- Ultrafiltered Dialysis Fluid (option) The AK 200 S can be equipped with a holder in which an ultrafilter can be mounted. The ultrafilter purifies the dialysis fluid from possible contamination by bacteria and endotoxins.

Ultrafilters; frequency of change The ultrafilter used in Ultrafiltered Dialysis Fluid kit is to be changed regularly depending on the primary fluid quality and the desired final fluid quality. The results from microbiological controls have to determine the frequency of change. A frequency between once a month and once every three months can be expected. For instructions on how to change the ultrafilter, see "Ultrafilter; how to change" in chapter 12.

Concentrate stand-by mode When the machine has been switched on, has passed the function check with proper concentrates connected, and the bypass path on the flow diagram lights up green, it is possible for the machine to enter a stand-by mode where the consumption of concentrates will be stopped. This stand-by mode, called Concentrate stand-by mode, can be activated before or after the flashing Fluid bypass button has been pressed during priming i.e. before or after the priming of the fluid compartment of the dialyzer has been performed. (It cannot be activated if blood has been detected.) Concentrate stand-by mode can be manually activated by twice pressing the Bicarbonate or Acetate button (default function) or automatically be activated by preset. On request from the clinic, an authorized technician can preset the type of presets for Concentrate stand-by mode that best suits the routine procedures of the specific clinic. There are two presets that can be used, separately or in combination: 1. Automatic activation of Concentrate stand-by mode when time is shown on the time display and the bypass path of the flow diagram lights up green. The time for activation may be straight away when the bypass path lights up green, or for a preset amount of time after. 2. The time for automatic activation can also be preset to be when the attention alarm PRIMING VOLUME ACHIEVED Check line in priming detector appears during priming. When the Concentrate stand-by mode is active, the Bicarbonate or Acetate button will be flashing and there will be a conductivity alarm without buzzer to indicate this. When Concentrate stand-by mode is active, the fluid flow is automatically decreased to 100 ml/min to minimize the water consumption.

Stand-by group The Blood pump button is used to start and stop the blood pump at the selected flow rate. The button can show a constant light, a flashing light or no light at all. Constant light - the blood pump is activated. Flashing light - the blood pump is stopped and the selected blood flow rate is more than 0 ml/min. Light off - the blood pump is stopped and the selected blood flow rate is 0 ml/min or priming has not been activated. When the blood pump is stopped the venous clamp automatically closes. Pressing the Blood pump button during treatment will automatically widen the venous pressure, arterial pressure and TMP alarm windows (flashing buttons). To centralize the alarm limits around the actual values, press the respective flashing button (see chapter 4). The maximum permitted stop time for the blood pump during treatment is 3 minutes . When this time has expired an attention alarm will be activated instructing the operator to restart the pump. Note • Emergency - Stop The blood pump can in all situations be manually stopped by pressing the Blood pump button and the venous clamp closes. Note

The Mute button is used to silence the buzzer for varying times depending on the alarm. The mute times for the different alarms are shown in the alarm and the attention lists (see chapter 14). There are two buzzer sounds: •

Soft: for attention alarms: – – – – – – – – – –

•

Continuous: for all other alarms: –––––––––––

The Fluid bypass button is used to manually bypass the dialysis fluid from the dialyzer. If the button is pressed when the dialysis fluid has the desired temperature and conductivity the button will flash. When the Fluid bypass button has flashed for 5 min. during treatment an attention alarm will be activated. The Start UF Stop button is used to start and stop ultrafiltration. When the priming detector has detected blood, the treatment time will start counting down and the following parameters will start to accumulate: treated blood volume, heparin volume, passed treatment time, and UF volume. The ultrafiltration will start when the Start UF Stop button is pressed. Pressing Start UF Stop button during treatment will decrease the ultrafiltration rate to the set minimum UF rate. The TMP alarm window will automatically widen and the TMP button starts to flash. To centralize the alarm limits around the actual value, press the flashing TMP button (see chapter 4 or 5). The permitted stop time is 5 min. When this time is expired, an attention alarm will be activated instructing the operator to restart the ultrafiltration.

Display and setting group Information display The information display, as the name implies, is used to give the operator further information. In order to obtain information on the display, an appropriate button has to be pressed. The information is then shown for 15 seconds . If the operator wishes to turn off the display earlier the Hold button can be pressed and then be pressed a second time to turn off the screen. The Arrow buttons below the information display light up in order to show which of the displayed values that are adjustable. If a lit Arrow button is pressed, the text above the value will flash and the value can be changed using the Set knob. It is sometimes possible to press two Arrow buttons at the same time, for example to move low and high alarm limits simultaneously. In some attention messages the operator is instructed to confirm an action by pressing a lit Arrow button. In these cases the Arrow buttons are referred to as: Left = LOW Middle = SET Right = HIGH The Hold button is used to hold the information on the information display. When the Hold button is lit, the Set knob is disconnected. If the lit Hold button is pressed a second time the display turns off. If a parameter button is pressed when the Hold button is lit the information display changes and the hold function disappears. The Set knob is used for setting of all parameters with one exception the blood flow.

The Blood flow knob is used to set the blood flow. The Blood flow knob is directly accessible, i.e. without first having to press a parameter button. As soon as the knob is turned the information display is lit.

Setting of parameters All treatment parameters are set in a similar way. To illustrate this, a detailed description follows showing how the values for the Temp (temperature) are changed. Press the Temp button. The information display and its buttons show:

Figure 3:13

Temp button and the information display

The set value for the temperature can be changed with the Set knob if the middle Arrow button is pressed. To indicate that the set value is possible to change, the text SET on the information display and the green bargraph on the temperature display will flash. The alarm limits can be changed either together or separately. If the low or high limit is to be changed, press the corresponding Arrow button. The limits are changed together by pressing both left and right Arrow buttons simultaneously. To indicate the limits that can be changed, the corresponding texts and bargraphs will flash. The light of the information display goes out 15 seconds after the Set knob or the buttons are touched. It is however, possible to select new information on the information display by pressing another button before the 15 seconds have passed. If the values need to be studied in digital form for more than 15 seconds the Hold button can be pressed. The Set knob is then disconnected. Pressing an Arrow button will again make a value changeable. It is always possible to exit the hold function by pressing another button or the Hold button again.



3:29

Note • The bargraphs displays show the set value, the actual value and the alarm limits for the control system, while the information display shows the corresponding values of the protective system (see chapter 1). In order to verify that the control and protective systems are operating with the correct input values, the user is instructed to compare the readings of the current bargraph displays and the information display before connecting the patient. Note

Venous pressure

The low and high alarm limits can be changed with the Set knob either together or separately. Blood flow in single pump mode

The Blood flow knob is directly accessible i.e. without first having to press the parameter button. In double needle/single pump mode, the blood flow rate can be changed with the Blood flow knob. In single needle/single pump mode, the arterial blood flow rate, can be changed with the Blood flow knob. Blood flow in single needle/double pump mode

3:31

Downloading treatment parameters It is possible to download certain treatment parameters from an external computer system via a patient card or other external equipment. After the ON/OFF button has been pressed and the first part of the function check has been completed (“Fch” shown on the time display), it is possible to download a list of treatment parameters and their values. The Clinic automation button can be pressed directly after downloading to view the list, or if desired, reject it. Once the Priming button starts to flash, the complete list of treatment parameters can either be accepted (Accept) or rejected (Reject) by the operator. The list will be displayed on the information display when the flashing Clinic automation button has been pressed, see figure 3:14. Acceptance/rejection can be done at any time during treatment preparation until blood has been detected.

Figure 3:14

Downloading treatment parameters

All parameters in the list will be accepted or rejected at the same time, it is not possible to exclude or add separate parameters or change values in the list. When the list has been accepted, the values will automatically be set in the machine (any previously set values will be replaced). If the list is rejected it is possible to redo the downloading. After the downloaded list of parameters are accepted or rejected, it is possible to set/adjust treatment parameters as usual. Concentrate parameters will be automatically set by the machine after downloading (before acceptance). The reason for this is not to disturb or prolong the function check.

3:32



If the list of treatment parameters is rejected, the downloaded settings for concentrates will remain. An attention alarm will appear to remind the operator about this. CONC. SETTINGS NO LONGER DEFAULT Check settings, press LOW To continue, press the lit Arrow button to confirm the downloaded settings. Check if the downloaded concentrate settings are the desired ones, if not, select and connect new concentrates manually, as is the usual procedure. If any parameter or parameter value in the list is not accepted by the machine, an attention alarm will appear after downloading. The complete list of parameters must be rejected. CAN NOT APPLY DOWNLOADED PARAM. All parameters must be rejected Press the Clinic automation button to check which parameter, shown in red, cannot be set. Redo the downloading after changing the parameter or set all parameters manually. If this attention alarm occurs, it is important to note that the downloaded settings for concentrates have not been automatically set.

Procedure 1. Press the flashing Clinic automation button. A list of the downloaded treatment parameters will be shown on the information display. 2. Check all the parameter values displayed; scroll down through the complete list by using the Set knob; the green arrow to the left of the parameter indicates your current position in the list. All parameters in the list must be scrolled through. The parameters in the list must correspond with the prescription. Choose either to accept or reject the list, then continue to the appropriate point 3 in the instructions below. Accept

3. Press the Arrow button below Accept, see figure 3:14. At this moment, the complete list of treatment parameters will automatically be set in the machine (any previously set values will be replaced). During the setting time (about 15 seconds), only the Mute button and the Blood pump button are accessible. Note that it is not possible for the machine to display the list of downloaded parameters after the acceptance has been done. When checking parameters after this, each parameter must be checked separately by pressing the corresponding parameter button. Reject

3. Press the Arrow button below Reject, see figure 3:14. All treatment parameters shown in the list will now be rejected. Note that the downloaded concentrate settings will remain.



3:33

The ultrafiltration control During treatment the following equation is always applicable.

Ultrafiltration volume UF rate Treatment time Treatment time and UF volume can be set within certain limits. The machine will automatically calculate and show the UF rate. When treatment time or UF volume is changed the UF rate will also change and new TMP alarm limits have to be set. An example of how a UF setting is done is shown below. 1. Press the Time button and select the treatment time. 2. Press the UF volume button and select total UF volume. (As soon as the ”SET” Arrow button is pressed the bar on the UF rate display also starts to flash, showing the calculated UF rate). 3. When the flashing Start UF Stop button has been pressed (lit up), the TMP alarm limits must be centralized. Note that the alarm limits should be set in accordance with the UF rate and dialyzer UF coefficient. CAUTION When negative TMP alarm limits are set, no alarm that backfiltration may occur.

will indicate CAUTION

An attention alarm may appear if an incorrect combination of settings is made, e.g. the time is 0.00 and the UF volume is set. The alarm will disappear as soon as the time is increased sufficiently. A UF rate limit is automatically calculated and set. The limit is 20% above the calculated UF rate. This limit is the highest permitted UF rate during the treatment. If for any reason the UF rate has been too low during a period of time, the machine will try to compensate for this by increasing the UF rate up to the UF rate limit. If it is impossible for the AK 200 S to reach the set UF volume within the remaining time and current UF rate limit, an attention alarm will be given. The operator is instructed to change either time or UF volume.

3:34



Protective system for ultrafiltration Upon demands from the clinic the below described function in the machine can be removed. This preset (i.e. removal of function) is done by a qualified technician in the clinic. The operator is requested to read the corresponding information for the ultrafiltration system in section “Safety philosophy” in chapter 1 in this manual. The protective system for ultrafiltration, also called the UF supervision system, measures the accumulated ultrafiltration volume during treatment independent of the control system mentioned before in this chapter in section “The ultrafiltration control”. The protective system will estimate accumulated UF volume throughout the treatment based on treatment Time and UF volume set when the treatment is initiated. This estimated accumulated UF volume will not be shown on the information display. When the treatment is running the actual measured accumulated UF volume (SUPERV) will be compared with the estimated accumulated UF volume at all times during treatment. If the deviation between these values is more than a certain set limit (LIMIT) an attention alarm is generated to notify the operator of this, the ultrafiltration is stopped and the blood flow is decreased. The attention alarm is shown on the information display as below: UF VOLUME DEVIATION Check cause, press UF volume Check the machine for visual leakage. Check accumulated UF volume in both control and protective system. Check alarm limits for UF volume in protective system. Do customary patient checks as whenever the ultrafiltration volume is suspected to be incorrect. Evaluate if it is possible to continue the treatment. The attention alarm is confirmed by pressing the UF volume button for 3 seconds. If the attention alarm is confirmed, the machine will recalculate a new estimated accumulated UF volume, based on the remaining treatment Time and the remaining UF volume and the ultrafiltration will start again. Note that every time the attention alarm is confirmed, the deviation accepted will be added to the previous accepted deviation. Therefore it is not necessary to adjust LIMIT after an attention alarm. If problem remains call for technical service. CAUTION Incorrect weight loss may occur if confirmation is done without having corrected the technical cause for the attention alarm. CAUTION

LIMIT is the alarm limit for the deviation between the estimated accumulated UF volume and the actual measured accumulated UF volume (SUPERV). LIMIT is settable by the operator between 0.1 and 2.0 litres of accumulated ultrafiltration volume. The limit must be



3:35

set by the operator according to the patients needs and tolerance and according to the routines of the clinic. The alarm limits HIGH and LOW will automatically be set by the machine equally around the estimated accumulated UF volume, i.e. if LIMIT is set to 0.4 the deviation between HIGH and LOW will be 0.8. Note • The lower limit for LIMIT in the machine is 0.1 litre multiplied with treatment time. I.e. if LIMIT is set to 0.4 by the operator at the beginning of the treatment the machine will after 4 hours of treatment start to increase LIMIT with 0.1 litres per hour. Note

To view and set the parameters of protective system UF supervision: 1. Press the UF volume button, this will display the UF volume settings. 2. Press the UF volume button again while the UF settings display is active. The protective system UF supervision parameters are now displayed. SUPERV - UF supervision measured accumulated UF volume LOW - Lower level for UF supervision alarm LIMIT - Settable alarm limit for UF supervision HIGH - Upper level for UF supervision alarm 3. The settable part of the alarm limit (LIMIT) can be adjusted by pressing the lit Arrow button below LIMIT followed by turning the Set knob. This will affect the LOW and HIGH limits which are automatically set according to LIMIT.

Power failure Returning the blood during a power failure If the AK 200 S is not equipped with a battery back-up function, it is possible to manually return the blood to the patient during a power failure. 1. Clamp the arterial blood line and disconnect it from the patient. 2. Connect the arterial blood line to the rinse-back solution and unclamp it. 3. Open the cover of the blood pump and turn the blood pump manually in an anticlockwise direction. Be careful with the guiding pins so that they do not interfere with the pump segment. 4. When the required amount of blood has been returned to the patient, clamp the venous blood line and disconnect it from the patient. When the power returns, the treatment settings and accumulated values can be read off as usual. WARNING During manual procedure to return blood to patient in power failure, the operator assumes responsibility for visually monitoring all safety parameters which the machine can not monitor in a power failure (e.g. air detection). WARNING

Battery back-up The AK 200 S can be equipped with a battery back-up function. The battery acts as a power supply in the event of a power failure. If this happens, an attention alarm simultaneously appears: POWER FAILURE, BATTERY OPERATION Battery operated for X minutes The battery supplies the AK 200 S with power to all functions except for that of heating the dialysis fluid. This means that a low temperature alarm will occur within a minute after the power failure has occurred. When the power in the battery has been consumed, the machine acts in the same way as it would with no battery back-up function. All instructions for installation and replacement of the battery back-up are included in the AK 200 S Service Manual, Installation Guide.

3:38



Recovery from a short power failure In case of a power failure, settings and accumulated values are stored by the AK 200 S. The machine will perform a recovery when the power returns; ”rec” is shown on the time display and the buzzer sounds. The operator must check the extracorporeal circuit for possible blood clots and has to confirm continued treatment by pressing the Time button. It is also necessary to press the Blood leak and Air detector alarm indicators. 1. Press the Mute button to silence the buzzer when the power has returned. 2. Press the Attention button to read the messages. 3. Press the Time button to confirm the recovery. 4. Press the flashing Air detector button and the flashing Blood leak button. 5. If no heparin values were set, press the Heparin button to confirm no heparinization. The AK 200 S will continue the treatment from where it was interrupted. However, if the AK 200 S has made ten recoveries during the same working session, the eleventh power failure will result in a function check. CAUTION Check treatment parameters after a recovery. CAUTION Note • The recovery function will not store the new settings in case of a power failure during the function check.

• The AK 200 S is equipped with a battery to support the buzzer during power failure. During power failures when the buzzer is muted, the current consumption from the battery is high. In order to avoid this high consumption, switch the machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds instead of pressing the Mute button. When the power returns, switch it on again by using the ON/OFF button. A normal recovery (see above) will now follow. Note



3:39

Recirculation during treatment When the blood circuit is recirculated it is the operator’s responsibility to decide for how long a period it can be safely done. The operator should also remember to note the time for the recirculation in order to add it to the non-diffusion time at the end of the treatment. 1. Stop the ultrafiltration by pressing the Start UF Stop button. The button will start to flash and the ultrafiltration decreases to the minimum ultrafiltration rate. 2. Check that the minimum ultrafiltration rate is set according to the package insert for the dialyzer. 3. Set the blood flow to 100 ml/min. 4. Stop the blood pump. 5. Disconnect the arterial and venous blood line from the patient and connect them to a connection line. 6. Start the blood pump. 7. Connect a saline bag to the venous drip chamber with help of an infusion line. Raise the infusion pole to 0.5-1 meter above the venous drip chamber in order to keep the venous pressure above zero. Open the clamp on the infusion line from the saline bag. 8. Press the flashing Arterial pressure, Venous pressure and TMP buttons to set the alarm limits around current pressures. 9.

That the mains cable is connected to a mains supply with protective earth.

•

That the main switch on the rear of the machine is turned on.

•

That the water supply is turned on.

•

That the dialysis fluid tubes are connected to the safety couplings.

•

That the drain tube is properly placed with an air gap between the machine and the drain/sewer system.

CAUTION In order to protect the operator’s fingers, keep the blood pump and the clamp covers shut during the function check for the blood monitor, since the pump(s) as well as the clamps will be tested during the check. CAUTION Note • If the machine has been stored with chemical disinfectant, this solution must be rinsed out of the system before any treatment can be initiated. Note

Follow the instructions further on in this chapter ”Attaching the dialyzer and the blood lines”. Follow the six consequent steps below to start the machine. 1. Press the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds. All the buttons and bargraphs on the operator’s panel are illuminated simultaneously and the operator is requested to check their functionality by visual inspection. If the machine has been filled with a chemical disinfectant the Chem disinf button will be lit at this moment as well as the Rinse/Drain button. For further information see “Filling the machine with chemical disinfectant” in chapter 12. CAUTION After Chemical disinfection procedure a test for residues must have been performed prior to connecting a patient. CAUTION

4:2



Function check When the machine starts up it always carries out checks on internal safety and calibrations; the function check. FCH/Fch is shown on the time display. These checks require that the dialysis fluid tubes are connected to the safety couplings during the entire function check. The dialysis fluid tubes can be moved from the safety couplings when the time appears on the time display instead of ”Fch” and the bypass path lights up on the flow diagram. These checks also require that no buttons are touched before the first part of the function check is completed, i.e. when ”FCH” on the time display has been replaced by ”Fch”. The Function check overview screen will be displayed on the information display during this function check. The screen gives the operator information about how long the function check has been in progress and also what is being tested at that moment.

CAUTION Once the treatment parameters are set the user should verify that the control and protective systems (see chapter 1) for conductivity and temperature operate with the desired values and that they are in agreement. This verification is made by comparing the bargraph displays and the information display before connecting the patient. CAUTION



4:19

Connect the patient Note • A flashing Bicarbonate or Acetate button indicates that Concentrate stand-by mode is active. Resume dialysis fluid preparation (deactivate concentrate stand-by mode) by pressing the flashing button once. The dialysis fluid will be ready within approximately 3 minutes. Note

1. Check that there is no air in the blood lines and that the level in the venous drip chamber is well above the air detector head. If expansion chambers are used, check that they are filled to the correct levels (refer to the instructions for use of the individual blood line). 2. Activate the air detector by pressing the Air detect button if it has not previously been activated during priming. Note • If the air detector has not been previously activated, it will automatically be activated when the priming detector detects blood. Note

3. When the priming and rinsing procedure is complete, check that the blood pump has been stopped, if not, press the Blood pump button. Adjust the blood flow rate to the proper start value. Note • Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the minimum rinsing volume (for the blood lines and the dialyzer). Note

4. Connect the blood lines to the patient. Note • The blood pump can automatically be stopped when the priming detector detects blood in the venous line and the blood path of the flow diagram lights up. Note

5. Remove any obstructing clamps. 6. Start the blood pump and set the required blood flow rate suitable for the patient. When the priming detector detects blood in the venous line, the blood path in the flow diagram will light up red. The Start UF Stop button, the Venous pressure button, the Arterial pressure button and the TMP button starts to flash. If no heparin value has been set, the Heparin button will also flash. The machine will start to count down the treatment time at the same time as blood is detected.

4:20



When blood has been detected for 20 seconds the blood path will remain lit until treatment has been discontinued. This is valid even if the venous blood line is removed from the priming detector.

Start the treatment CAUTION Make sure that the blood path of the flow diagram lights up, if it does not light up, check that the venous blood line is correctly placed in the priming detector. If the blood path does not light up, the machine considers the patient not connected and as a consequence the UF system is not controlling the patient ultrafiltration. If the air detector has not been activated during priming it will not be automatically activated until the priming detector detects blood. CAUTION

1. Press the flashing Start UF Stop button (steady light) to start ultrafiltration. (The machine will start to count down the treatment time at the same time as blood has been detected.) 2. Press the flashing Venous pressure, Arterial pressure and TMP buttons to set the alarm limits around the current pressures. To set the limits manually press the respective button and change the values on the information display by using the Arrow buttons and the Set knob. Note that the TMP alarm limits should be set in accordance with the UF rate and dialyzer UF coefficient. 3. If the Heparin button flashes, press the button to confirm no heparinization using the heparin pump, or set the values. See “Arterial blood line, Heparinization” in this chapter. 4. If the BPM, the BVS or the Diascan functions are going to be used during treatment, see the corresponding chapters for activation and settings. Note • When no other screen is displayed on the information display, the Treatment overview screen will be displayed at all times during treatment1. On this screen, the operator can obtain an overall picture of parameter values, valid at that time, for the on-going treatment. See “Treatment overview screen” in the “Controlling the machine general guidelines” chapter for details. Note

Pressure alarm limits setting The machine is equipped with a centralizing function to simplify the correct setting of the pressure alarm limits. If there is a choice not to use the centralizing function as a preset or wide alarm limits range are preset, it is the operator’s responsibility to check that the alarm limits are set around current pressure. When the alarm limits are outside the preset range, the respective button starts to flash. If 2.5 min. of the treatment have elapsed and the alarm limits are still outside the preset range, an attention alarm is activated. (The Attention alarm button can be pressed in order to read on the information display which pressure limits that need to be adjusted). When the respective button has been pressed the alarm limits will centralize around the current pressure. Venous/Arterial pressure

The alarm display automatically widens and the button starts to flash when the blood flow is changed or when the Blood pump button is pressed. The alarm display may also be widened temporarily: Press the Venous pressure button followed by the Arrow button beneath the required alarm limit and adjust that specific limit. (The Venous pressure button will start to flash as described above as soon as the alarm display is outside the preset range). TMP

The alarm display automatically widens and the button starts to flash when the blood flow is stopped. Also when the UF equation is changed or when the Start UF Stop button is pressed the button will start to flash. The alarm display may also be widened temporarily: Press the TMP button followed by the Arrow button beneath the required alarm limit and adjust that specific limit. (The button will start to flash as soon as the alarm display is outside the preset range). CAUTION When negative TMP alarm limits are set, no alarm that backfiltration may occur.


4:22



Low venous pressure alarm limit setting below +10 mmHg

During certain conditions a very low venous pressure can occur e.g. when a central venous catheter is being used. In order to perform a dialysis treatment under this condition it can be necessary to set the low alarm limit below the normal limit of +10 mmHg. To make this possible the AK 200 S can be preset upon request from the clinic. However, the following conditions have to be fulfilled: •

The function has to be ordered by the physician

•

The machine has to be identified/labelled

•

The preset has to be documented in the machine logbook

CAUTION If a venous pressure alarm limit below +10 mmHg is set, a disconnection of the venous blood line may not be detected through a venous pressure drop. Special attention from the operator is therefore mandatory. CAUTION

Operating and setting

1. Press the Venous pressure button. 2. Press the LOW and HIGH arrows simultaneously and move the alarm limit below +10 mmHg. The centralizing function will now work below +10 mmHg.



4:23

Discontinuing In order to maintain a high level of performance of the AK 200 S machine, it is recommended that the machine carries out a disinfection program after each treatment. When the treatment is finished certain conditions must have been fulfilled for the machine to be able to start a disinfection program; end of treatment must have been confirmed; the patient must be completely disconnected from the machine and the blood path on the flow diagram must be extinguished; the dialysis fluid tubes must be connected to the safety couplings on the machine; the used concentrates must be removed i.e. the concentrate pick-up tubes must be placed in the disinfection ports of the machine, and the latches of the SelectBag, SelectCart and the BiCart holders must be closed.

Automatic emptying of BiCart, SelectCart and SelectBag If the BiCart Select system or the BiCart cartridge has been used during treatment, it is possible for the machine to automatically empty the containers after use. This will take some minutes and will vary depending on how much concentrate remains in the containers. The emptying procedure of the containers can be started at any time during the discontinuing procedure after treatment end has been confirmed. This means that it can be done while the blood is being returned to the patient, or directly after, in order to shorten the time before the disinfection program can be started, see the conditions mentioned above. It can also be done when the blood has been returned to the patient and the blood path of the flow diagram has been extinguished (confirmed patient disconnection). Once the automatic emptying procedure of the containers has been started (Arrow button pressed), the fluid unit of the machine will automatically be disconnected and the dialysis fluid to the dialyzer will be bypassed. The blood alarms will remain active (if automatic emptying is started before the blood path of the flow diagram has been extinguished). The treatment time displayed on the time display will be set to zero and it will not be possible to return to treatment. It should be particularly noted that if the emptying procedure is started before the blood has been returned to the patient, the blood should be returned to the patient as soon as possible since diffusion is consequently disabled.

4:24



Discontinuing procedure Note • If the treatment is to be discontinued before the set treatment time is achieved, the remaining time should be changed to 0:00 (press Time button, change by using the Set knob). Note

Confirm treatment end

When the remaining treatment time shown on the Time display equals 0:00 an attention alarm appears: TREATMENT TIME EXPIRED Press TIME key to confirm At this moment the UF rate will be automatically reduced to minimum UF rate as the set UF volume is achieved; the Start UF Stop button will be extinguished to indicate this. The time shown on the time display will continue to count down but will show negative figures. 1. Confirm treatment end by pressing the flashing Time button. When this is done the TMP alarm limits will widen. If desired, start emptying BiCart or BiCart, SelectCart and SelectBag

2. If used and if desired, start emptying the SelectBag, the SelectCart cartridge and BiCart cartridge (All) or only the BiCart cartridge (BiCart) at this point. Once the emptying procedure has been started (Arrow button pressed), the fluid unit of the machine will automatically be disconnected and the dialysis fluid to the dialyzer will be bypassed. The blood alarms will remain active. The treatment time will be set to zero and it will not be possible to return to treatment. For further information, see in "Automatic emptying of BiCart, SelectCart and SelectBag" previously in this section. 2.a. Open the upper latch(es) of the cartridge holder(s), pull out the latch(es) and lift upwards to their uppermost positions. 2.b. Press the Bicarbonate button twice, select All or BiCart by pressing corresponding Arrow button. Once the Arrow button has been pressed, the emptying procedure will start (see in 2 above). The SelectBag will automatically be drained after the cartridges has been drained if All has been selected. Return the blood

3. Stop the blood pump. This will automatically widen the venous and arterial pressure alarm limits to their priming values without a subsequent centralizing alarm. The blood flow rate will now automatically be set to 100 ml/min. 4. Clamp the arterial blood line and disconnect it from the patient. 5. Connect the arterial blood line to the rinse-back solution and remove the clamp.



4:25

6. Start the blood pump, the rinse-back flow rate (blood flow rate) is set to 100 ml/min, adjust if required. CAUTION After having started the blood pump again, the operator is responsible for the monitoring of the venous pressure. CAUTION Note • The blood pump can automatically be stopped when the priming detector stops detecting blood in the venous line. Note

7. Stop the blood pump and clamp the venous blood line when the required amount of blood has been returned to the patient. 8. Disconnect the venous blood line from the patient. 9. Check that the patient is not connected to the machine in any way and that the blood pump has been stopped. 10. Remove the venous blood line from the priming detector. 11. Confirm patient disconnection; manually extinguish the blood path of the flow diagram by briefly pressing one of the Rinse/Drain, Heat disinf, or Chem disinf buttons. When this is done the machine does not detect blood anymore (the treatment time will be frozen, the air detector has now been bypassed and it is not possible to run the blood pump). After-treatment handling of the machine

12. If used and if not previously done, start emptying the SelectBag, the SelectCart cartridge and BiCart cartridge or only the BiCart cartridge. Once the emptying procedure has been started (Arrow button pressed), the fluid unit of the machine will automatically be disconnected and the dialysis fluid to the dialyzer will be bypassed. The treatment time will be set to zero and it will not be possible to return to treatment. 12.a. Open the upper latch(es) of the cartridge holder(s), pull out the latch(es) and lift upwards to their uppermost positions. 12.b. Press the Bicarbonate button twice, select All or BiCart by pressing corresponding Arrow button. Once the Arrow button has been pressed, the emptying procedure will start (see in 12 above). The SelectBag will automatically be drained after the cartridges has been drained if All has been selected. 13. If the pick-up tubes have been used for concentrates, place them in the disinfection ports of the machine. Once this is done, the fluid unit of the machine will automatically be disconnected and the dialysis fluid to the dialyzer will be bypassed. The treatment time will be set to zero and it will not be possible to return to treatment.

4:26



14. If used, remove the empty BiCart and SelectCart cartridge(s) after draining and close both the latches of the cartridge holder(s) properly (vertical position). (To close the lower latch; pull out and close.) If used, also remove the SelectBag when it is empty (or earlier if desired) by lifting the latch upwards. Then remove the SelectBag, pull out the latch and close it properly (vertical position). WARNING Avoid touching the plastic spike.

Single needle treatment General The blood monitor offers a single needle facility using either one or two blood pumps (two blood pumps only possible with BM 202). Single needle treatment with two blood pumps is controlled by the stroke volume which gives an optimized accumulated blood volume for the treatment. Single needle treatment with one blood pump uses the arterial and venous clamps, which can be controlled and supervised by either time or pressure settings. Note • When performing single needle treatment there is always a certain amount of recirculation. The AK 200 S is equipped with a clamp on the arterial side in order to minimize recirculation. To further minimize recirculation the stroke volume should be maximized. To achieve this the following should be considered: - Make sure a correct blood pump rotor is used. There must be a correct adjustment of the occlusion of the blood pump segment being used. Check with the service technician responsible. - The volume of the expansion chamber(s) should be as big as possible. - The internal diameter of the needle should be as big as possible.

• Single needle treatment with two blood pumps cannot be selected if Low volume HDF mode is to be performed.

• Make sure that the venous blood pump is adjusted for the right pump segment diameter when single needle/double pump is performed. Note

Glossary of single needle parameters and key terms Single needle, double pump

The Arterial phase is when the arterial blood pump is running. The arterial blood pump runs until the system pressure high alarm limit has been reached. The Venous phase is when the venous blood pump is running. The venous blood pump runs until the stroke volume has been achieved. Cycle, together, an arterial phase and a venous phase are called a cycle. The Mean blood flow rate is the effective blood flow rate during the complete cycle, calculated from the venous blood flow rate. The mean blood flow rate can be adjusted by adjusting the blood flow rates for the arterial pump and the venous pump separately. The Stroke volume is the blood volume that passes through the dialyzer during a cycle. The lower the stroke volume the greater the recirculation. The System pressure is measured after the dialyzer before the venous blood pump. The pressure fluctuates between the arterial phase and the venous phase, increasing during the arterial phase, decreasing during the venous phase. The machine uses the system pressure high alarm limit to control the arterial phase. Single needle, single pump

The Arterial phase is when the blood pump is running, the arterial line clamp is open and the venous line clamp is closed. The arterial phase can either be controlled by time or pressure settings. The Venous phase is when the blood pump is not running, the venous line clamp is open and the arterial line clamp is closed. The venous phase can either be controlled by time or pressure settings. Cycle, together, an arterial phase and a venous phase are called a cycle. The Mean blood flow rate is the effective blood flow rate during the complete cycle, calculated from the arterial blood flow rate. The Stroke volume is the blood volume that passes through the dialyzer during a cycle. The lower the stroke volume the greater the recirculation.

Initiating Set the treatment parameters CAUTION To avoid hazardous side effects during the treatment, parameters set should be suitable for the patient’s needs and tolerance.

The correct setting of the UF rate is important to avoid backfiltration. Set a minimum UF rate according to the instruction for the specific dialyzer. CAUTION Note • Negative pressure may cause generation of ”microbubbles”. Note

Always check/adjust •

Check the time on the Time display. Adjust if necessary; press the Time button, adjust REMAIN.

•

Check the required UF volume (patient weight loss). Press the UF volume button, check SET, adjust if necessary.

•

Check that the calculated UF rate (patient weight loss/h) is suitable. Press the UF volume button, check CALC UFR. Adjust time or UF volume if necessary.

•

Check that the minimum UF rate is set to the required value. Press the UF rate button, check MIN UFR, adjust if necessary.

•

Check that the dialysis fluid flow rate is set to the required value. Press the Fluid flow button, check SET, adjust if necessary.

CAUTION Once the treatment parameters are set the user should verify that the control and protective systems (see chapter 1) for conductivity and temperature operate with the desired values and that they are in agreement. This verification is made by comparing the bargraph displays and the information display before connecting the patient. CAUTION



5:11


1. Check that single needle mode has been activated (lit SN button). Also check that double pump mode has been selected; DOUBLE PUMP will be flashing on the information display. 2. Check that the venous blood pump segment has been properly inserted into the venous blood pump. 3. Check that the expansion chambers are in an upright position and are filled to the correct levels (refer to the instructions for use of the individual blood line). 4. Check that there is no air in the blood lines and that the level in the venous drip chamber is well above the air detector head. 5. Activate the air detector by pressing the Air detect button if it has not previously been activated during priming. Note • If the air detector has not been previously activated, it will automatically be activated when the priming detector detects blood. Note

6. When the priming and rinsing procedure is complete, check that the blood pumps have been stopped, if not, press the Blood pump button. Adjust the mean blood flow rate to the proper start value. Note • Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the minimum rinsing volume (for the blood lines and the dialyzer). Note

7. Connect the blood lines to the patient. Note • The blood pump can automatically be stopped when the priming detector detects blood in the venous line and the blood path of the flow diagram lights up. Note

8. Remove any obstructing clamps. 9. Start the blood pumps and set the required mean blood flow rate suitable for the patient.

5:12



When the priming detector detects blood in the venous line, the blood path in the flow diagram will light up red. The Start UF Stop button, the Venous pressure button (if the Venous pressure is below +10 mmHg) and the TMP button starts to flash. If no heparin value has been set, the Heparin button will also flash. The machine will start to count down the treatment time at the same time as blood is detected. When blood has been detected for 20 seconds the blood path will remain lit until treatment has been discontinued. This is valid even if the venous blood line is removed from the priming detector.


1. Press the flashing Start UF Stop button (steady light) to start ultrafiltration. (The machine will start to count down the treatment time at the same time as blood has been detected.) 2. Press the flashing TMP button to automatically set the alarm limits around the current pressure. Note that the TMP alarm limits should be set in accordance with the UF rate and dialyzer UF coefficient. 3. If the Venous pressure button is flashing, press the button to automatically set the low alarm limit to +10 mmHg. 4. Press the Venous pressure button to manually set the alarm limits around the current pressure. Change the limits on the information display by using the Arrow buttons and the Set knob. 5. Press the Arterial pressure button to manually set the alarm limits around the current pressure. As the arterial pressure fluctuates during the cycle the alarm window has to be set accordingly. Change the limits on the information display by using the Arrow buttons and the Set knob. 6. If necessary, adjust the levels in the expansion chambers. The levels should be as low as possible (i.e. without air passing into the blood lines at the end of the venous phase), in order to best achieve the stroke volume (SET). 7. Press the SN data button. Check that the current stroke volume (STROKE) corresponds with the set value (SET). At the same time, read off the system pressure (PRESSURE). See "Glossary of single needle parameters and key terms" previously in this chapter for further information. HCEN9751 Revision.12.2005 Program version 8.xx


5:13

Note • It is possible to optimize the current mean blood flow rate by adjusting the blood flow rate for the venous pump or the arterial pump separately. This results in more cycles1 during treatment i.e. increased accumulated blood volume. Note that the arterial pump never runs faster than twice the speed, or more slowly than half the speed, of the venous pump and vice versa. If this optimization is desired: Press the Blood flow button, select VEN and/or ART by using the Arrow buttons. Adjust the blood flow rates, making sure that venous and arterial pressure remain within the limits recommended by the clinic for that particular patient’s blood access. Note

8. If the Heparin button flashes, press the button to confirm no heparinization using the heparin pump, or set the values. See “Arterial blood line, Heparinization” in chapter 4. 9. If the BPM, the BVS or the Diascan functions are going to be used during treatment, see the corresponding chapters for activation and settings. Note • When no other screen is displayed on the information display, the Treatment overview screen will be displayed at all times during treatment2. On this screen, the operator can obtain an overall picture of parameter values, valid at that time, for the on-going treatment. See “Treatment overview screen” in the “Controlling the machine general guidelines” chapter for details. Note

further information, see "Glossary of single needle parameters and key terms" previously in this chapter 2 Can be removed by preset 5:14



Pressure alarm limits setting TMP

The machine is equipped with a centralizing function to simplify the correct setting of the TMP alarm limits. If there is a choice not to use the centralizing function as a preset or wide alarm limits range are preset, it is the operator’s responsibility to check that the alarm limits are set around current pressure. When the alarm limits are outside the preset range, the TMP button starts to flash. If 2.5 min. of the treatment have elapsed and the alarm limits are still outside the preset range, an attention alarm is activated: TMP LIMITS ADJUST Press TMP key Press the TMP button to centralize the alarm limits around the current pressure. The alarm display automatically widens and the button starts to flash when the blood flow is stopped. Also when the UF equation is changed or when the Start UF Stop button is pressed the button will start to flash. The alarm display may also be widened temporarily: Press the TMP button followed by the Arrow button beneath the required alarm limit and adjust that specific limit. (The button will start to flash as soon as the alarm display is outside the preset range). CAUTION When negative TMP alarm limits are set, no alarm that backfiltration may occur.


Venous/Arterial pressure

There is no centralizing function for Arterial and Venous pressure when performing single needle treatments. The alarm limits has to be set manually. The Arterial pressure alarm limits may be widened temporarily when the blood flow rate has been changed, or when the blood pump(s) has been stopped. Press the Arterial pressure button followed by the Arrow button below the required alarm limit and adjust that specific limit. As soon as the Venous pressure low alarm limit is set below +10 mmHg the button starts to flash. Press the Venous pressure button and the low alarm limit will automatically be set to +10mmHg.



5:15

Low venous pressure alarm limit setting below +10 mmHg

During certain conditions a very low venous pressure can occur e.g. when a central venous catheter is being used. In order to perform a dialysis treatment under this condition it can be necessary to set the low alarm limit below the normal limit of +10 mmHg. To make this possible the AK 200 S can be preset upon request from the clinic. However, the following conditions have to be fulfilled: •

The function has to be ordered by the physician

•

The machine has to be identified/labelled

•

The preset has to be documented in the machine logbook

CAUTION If a venous pressure alarm limit below +10 mmHg is set, a disconnection of the venous blood line may not be detected through a venous pressure drop. Special attention from the operator is therefore mandatory. CAUTION

Operating and setting

1. Press the Venous pressure button. 2. Press the LOW and HIGH arrows simultaneously and move the alarm limit below +10 mmHg. The centralizing function will now work below +10 mmHg.

5:16



Discontinuing The discontinuing procedure can be performed either in double needle mode or in single needle/double pump mode. (The recommended procedure is in double needle mode as it is easier and less time-consuming.) Discontinuing in double needle mode after single needle/double pump treatment

Follow the instructions in chapter 4 "Discontinuing" and "Discontinuing procedure". Add the following instructions below, after point 3 (Stop the blood pump) in "Return the blood". 1. Press the lit SN button for 3 seconds to deactivate the single needle function. 2. Remove the venous pump segment from the venous blood pump. 3. Continue by following the instructions in "Return the blood" in chapter 4, starting with point 4. Discontinuing in single needle/double pump mode

Follow the instructions in chapter 4 "Discontinuing" and "Discontinuing procedure" without deactivating the single needle function.



5:17

Single needle treatment with one blood pump Preparations Follow the instructions in chapter 4 "Double needle treatment" beginning with "Check before starting the machine". Add the following below. Attach an expansion chamber, connecting it between the dialyzer and the venous blood line. This is in order to reduce the amount of recirculation in the system (i.e. to achieve a greater stroke volume). Follow the instructions in chapter 4, "Venous blood line" in "Attaching the dialyzer and the blood lines", and attach the expansion chamber as in the figure 5:5. 1. Venous expansion chamber - place the expansion chamber in the holder in an upright position (inlet and outlet facing downwards). 2. Connect the dialyzer end of the venous blood line to the blood line with the expansion chamber. 3. Connect the blood line with the expansion chamber to the dialyzer. Do not connect the line at the top of the expansion chamber to the system pressure transducer (the system pressure is not used when single needle/single pump treatment is performed).

Figure 5:5

5:18

Venous blood line with attached expansion chamber in HD, single needle/single pump, set-up



Prime and de-air the blood lines and the dialyzer as described in chapter 4. The venous expansion chamber should be filled to be level with the groove of the chamber. Close the clamp at the top of the expansion chamber.

Single needle / single pump settings The arterial and venous phases during a cycle can either be controlled by pressure or time settings. In practice this means that if the times for the phases are maximized to 20 seconds, the high and low venous pressure alarm limits set will control the phases. Pressure control settings usually imply more cycles and a greater accumulated blood volume for the treatment. The following pages include instructions for both the variants. Continue to follow the instructions in chapter 4 up to "Connect the patient" in "Initiating hemodialysis".


For both pressure- and time-controlled phases

1. Press the SN data button briefly and check/adjust the preset times for the arterial and venous phases; at this point they should be adjusted to suitable times to be used during patient connection and treatment start. Adjust the times below VEN TME and ART TME separately by using the Arrow buttons and the Set knob. 2. Check that the venous expansion chamber is in an upright position and is filled to a correct level (refer to the instructions for use of the individual blood line). 3. Check that there is no air in the blood lines and that the level in the venous drip chamber is well above the air detector head. 4. Activate the air detector by pressing the Air detect button if it has not previously been activated during priming. Note • If the air detector has not been previously activated, it will automatically be activated when the priming detector detects blood. Note

5. When the priming and rinsing procedure is complete, check that the blood pump has been stopped, if not, press the Blood pump button. Adjust the blood flow rate to the proper start value.



5:19

Note • Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the minimum rinsing volume (for the blood lines and the dialyzer). Note

6. Press the SN button briefly and select SINGLE PUMP by using the corresponding Arrow button; SINGLE PUMP will be flashing. Activate the function by pressing the SN button for 3 seconds (lights up). 7. Connect the blood lines to the patient. Note • The blood pump can automatically be stopped when the priming detector detects blood in the venous line and the blood path of the flow diagram lights up. Note

8. Remove any obstructing clamps. 9. Start the blood pump and set the arterial blood flow rate (ART FL). Check that the resulting mean blood flow rate (MEAN FL) is the required flow, suitable for the patient. When the priming detector detects blood in the venous line, the blood path in the flow diagram will light up red. The Start UF Stop button, the Venous pressure button (if the Venous pressure is below +10 mmHg) and the TMP button starts to flash. If no heparin value has been set, the Heparin button will also flash. The machine will start to count down the treatment time at the same time as blood is detected. When blood has been detected for 20 seconds the blood path will remain lit until treatment has been discontinued. This is valid even if the venous blood line is removed from the priming detector.

After this, during the arterial phase, gradually adjust the low venous pressure alarm limit to, say, +200 mmHg. Make sure that the venous pressure alarm limits remain within the limits recommended by the clinic for that particular patient’s blood access. See Note below for further information about this setting. 6. Press the Arterial pressure button to manually set the alarm limits around the current pressure. As the arterial pressure fluctuates during the cycle the alarm window has to be set accordingly. Change the limits on the information display by using the Arrow buttons and the Set knob. 7. If necessary, adjust the level in the venous expansion chamber. The level should be as low as possible (i.e. without air passing into the blood lines at the end of the venous phase), in order to best achieve a proper stroke volume (STROKE).



5:21

8. Press the SN data button. Check that the current stroke volume (STROKE) shows a proper value. See "Glossary of single needle parameters and key terms" previously in this chapter for further information. Note • The achieved stroke volume is determined by the size and position of the venous pressure alarm window. The wider the window, the greater the stroke volume. The higher the position of the window, the higher the venous flow. Set the venous pressure alarm limits in such a way that a proper stroke volume is being achieved. Bear in mind that as the venous pressure alarm limits are used to control the arterial and venous phases the extracorporeal circuit must continuously be monitored by visual inspection. A decreasing stroke volume and/or a decreasing mean blood flow rate may indicate clotting or a kinked venous blood line. To optimize the treatment: - Check the stroke volume; press the SN data button, check STROKE. Optimize by adjusting the venous pressure alarm window and keeping the level in the venous expansion chamber as low as possible. - Maximize the arterial blood flow rate; turn the Blood flow knob, adjust ART FL. This will shorten the arterial phase, which results in more cycles3 during the treatment i.e. increased mean blood flow rate (MEAN FL) resulting in increased accumulated blood volume (ACC VOL). Note

9. If the Heparin button flashes, press the button to confirm no heparinization using the heparin pump, or set the values. See “Arterial blood line, Heparinization” in chapter 4. 10. If the BPM, the BVS or the Diascan functions are going to be used during treatment, see the corresponding chapters for activation and settings. Continue by following "Pressure alarm limits setting" instructions under "Single needle treatment with two blood pumps", in this chapter, as they are the same for single needle double pump and single needle single pump treatments. Only for time-controlled phases

4. Press the SN data button briefly and check/adjust the preset times for the arterial and venous phases. Adjust the times below VEN TME and ART TME separately by using the Arrow buttons and the Set knob. 5. Press the Venous pressure button to manually set the alarm limits around the current pressure. As the venous pressure fluctuates during the cycle the alarm window has to be set accordingly. Change the limits on the information display by using the Arrow buttons and the Set knob.

Discontinuing The discontinuing procedure can be performed either in double needle mode or in single needle/single pump mode. (The recommended procedure is in double needle mode as it is easier and less time-consuming.) Discontinuing in double needle mode after single needle/single pump treatment

Follow the instructions in chapter 4 "Discontinuing" and "Discontinuing procedure". Add the following instructions below, after point 3 (Stop the blood pump) in "Return the blood". 1. Press the lit SN button for 3 seconds to deactivate the single needle function. 2. Continue by following the instructions in "Return the blood" in chapter 4, starting with point 4. Discontinuing in single needle/single pump mode

Follow the instructions in chapter 4 "Discontinuing" and "Discontinuing procedure" without deactivating the single needle function.



5:23

Double needle to single needle treatment - change during treatment Attach an expansion chamber, connecting it between the dialyzer and the venous blood line. This is in order to reduce the amount of recirculation in the system (i.e. to achieve a greater stroke volume). Follow the instructions below. 1. Prime and de-air a blood line with an expansion chamber, the expansion chamber should be filled to be level with the groove of the chamber. Close the clamp at the top of the expansion chamber and clamp the ends of the line. 2. Stop the Blood pump and stop ultrafiltration by pressing the Start UF Stop button. 3. Clamp the venous blood line close to the dialyzer (it is recommended to add an extra clamp on the arterial blood line close to the dialyzer as well) and disconnect the venous blood line from the dialyzer. 4. Connect the line with an expansion chamber between the dialyzer and the venous blood line, see figure 5:5 in "Preparations" in "Single needle treatment with one blood pump" previously in this section. Place the expansion chamber in the holder in an upright position (inlet and outlet facing downwards). Do not connect the line at the top of the expansion chamber to the system pressure transducer (the system pressure is not used when single needle/single pump treatment is performed).

Resume treatment 5. Press the SN button briefly and select SINGLE PUMP by using the corresponding Arrow button; SINGLE PUMP will be flashing. Activate the function by pressing the SN button for 3 seconds (lights up). 6. Remove any obstructing clamps. 7. Start the blood pump and set the arterial blood flow rate (ART FL). Check that the resulting mean blood flow rate (MEAN FL) is the required flow, suitable for the patient. 8. Press the flashing Start UF Stop button to start ultrafiltration. Press the flashing TMP button to automatically set the alarm limits around the current pressure.

Single needle / single pump settings The arterial and venous phases during a cycle can either be controlled by pressure or time settings. In practice this means that if the times for the phases are maximized to 20 seconds, the high and low venous pressure alarm limits set will control the phases. Pressure control settings usually imply more cycles and a greater accumulated blood volume for the treatment.

5:24



Depending on whether pressure- or time-controlled phases are to be used, continue by following the instructions starting with position 9 for each variant. Only for pressure-controlled phases

9. Press the SN data button briefly and maximize the preset times for the arterial and venous phases to 20 seconds . Set the times separately below VEN TME and ART TME by using the Arrow buttons and the Set knob. 10. Press the Venous pressure button. Set the high venous pressure alarm limit to, say, +400 mmHg. After this, during the arterial phase, gradually adjust the low venous pressure alarm limit to, say, +200 mmHg. Make sure that the venous pressure alarm limits remain within the limits recommended by the clinic for that particular patient’s blood access. See Note below for further information about this setting. 11. Press the Arterial pressure button to manually set the alarm limits around the current pressure.

Profiling of Na+ and HCO3- dialysis fluid concentration In order to optimize the dialysis treatment, the dialysis fluid concentrations of sodium and bicarbonate can automatically follow a predetermined, continuous curve changing the concentrations in a linear, degressive or progressive graph. A linear graph gives a constant change of concentration. A progressive graph means that the change of concentration values accelerates and a degressive graph means that the change of concentration slows down during treatment time. There are three parameters which determine the shape of the respective profile: The start value, the stop value and the so called half-time. The half-time describes and determines the time interval to reach halfway between the start and stop concentration. Different profile combinations can be programmed into three memories (models ) The simplest type of profile is the linear one. It is determined by selecting the linear graph and by setting a start and a stop concentration. AK 200 S will then perform a smooth and constant adjustment during the treatment time.

Figure 7:1

7:2

3 different graphs for profiling sodium and bicarbonate



Setting individualized non-linear (exponential) profiles requires one figure more: half-time (set in hours and minutes). Half-time determines the time interval to reach halfway between start and stop concentration. The individual curves can easily be drawn into a diagram. To show a degressive graph, draw the start concentration value at time zero and stop concentration value at end of treatment.

Figure 7:2

Profiling, Degressive graph

The progressive graph is just a reversed degressive graph.

Profiling of ultrafiltration rate The UF rate can follow a predetermined decreasing or increasing linear graph. The UF profile is determined by the total UF volume, time and start UF rate.

Figure 7:4

Linear graph for UF rate profiling

When UF profiling is used TMP is also acting as protective system. The operator has to readjust the TMP alarm limits during treatment in accordance with the UF rate and the dialyzer UF coefficient. Note • The UF profile curve will perform a parallel shift if either time or volume are changed. Note

7:4



Operation Follow the instructions in "Hemodialysis, double needle treatment" up to "Pressure alarm limits setting" chapter 4 and add the following.

Curve Setting/Change/Cancellation:

The setting is guided by menu technique, stepping back with the Hold button. 1. Press the Profiling button briefly. 2. Select the MODEL (memory). 3. Select the parameters to be profiled. (Na+, HCO3- and UF). Note • The parameters that are not profiled are set by using the standard handling for each parameter. Note

4. Select, if an actual stored profile should be CHANGE or CANCEL. If UF is selected, set START value in l/h (STOP value is automatically adjusted so that the total UF volume which was previously set is maintained). 5. Select the graph: LINEAR, PROGRESS or DEGRESS. (If UF is selected only LINEAR can be selected.) 6. Set START value (in mmol/l), STOP value (in mmol/l), if a non linear graph is chosen also HALF TME (in h:min). Note • If the remaining time is changed in priming after a certain half-time is set, the half-time will automatically readjust, keeping the same percentage in relation to remaining time. Note

8:1

General The BM 202 offers the possibility to perform infusion of substitution fluid from external infusion bags using the venous/infusion pump. A special infusion line for low volume HDF is required in addition to normal arterial and venous blood lines. See “List of concentrates, accessories and disposables, for use with the AK 200 S, Gambro Accessories” in chapter 1.

Protective system for low volume HDF The system is based on pump speed measuring as well as restrictor measuring. If the measured infusion pump speed differs from the calculated speed an attention alarm is issued to make the operator attentive to the pump failure. For the restrictor measuring it is essential that a correct infusion line is used to obtain the specified level of safety. The pressure in the expansion chamber changes due to changes of the infusion flow. This pressure is measured by the system pressure transducer. The supervision system uses this pressure to calculate the actual infusion flow and thereby the accumulated infusion volume. This accumulated volume is compared to the infusion volume calculated from the set infusion volume and passed treatment time. If there is a difference there will be an attention alarm to make the operator attentive to e.g. an obstructed line or an empty infusion bag. The attention alarms that can occur are: INFUSION PUMP FAILURE Deactivate HDF to continue Or INFUSION VOLUME DEVIATION Check cause, press HDF key For more information about them, see the Attention list in chapter 14.

8:2



The following conditions have to be met in order to fulfil the accuracy of the measuring system 1. The correct infusion line has to be used. 2. The placement of the infusion bags has to be correct throughout the treatment. The lowest part of the bags should be placed 0.5-1 meter above the venous infusion pump before priming procedure starts. This is to obtain a correct pressure in the infusion line. The bags have to stay in this position throughout the treatment. If they are moved a measurement error will be present until the next taration in the machine is performed. 3. The bags should be at room temperature. This is important since the fluid temperature affects the pressure in the expansion chamber.



8:3

Start up Follow the instructions in chapter 4 “Hemodialysis, double needle” from the beginning to “Priming and rinsing the extracorporeal circuit”. Continue as follows: 1. Place the infusion bags on the infusion pole 0.5-1 meter above the venous/infusion pump. 2. Expansion chamber - place the expansion chamber in the expansion chamber holder. The inlet lines must be facing downwards and the groove on the expansion chamber must be turned towards the rear of the machine. Tilt the expansion chamber holder backwards until it clicks into it’s first position. The expansion chamber will then be filled to a suitable level during priming procedure. 3. Infusion pump - open the cover of the pump and place the pump segment inside the pump housing. Turn the pump manually to thread the pump segment through it. When the pump segment is in place, close the pump cover. 4. Attach the infusion line coming from the infusion pump, firmly to the T/Y-connector prior to the drip chamber (see that there are no closed clamps). 5. System pressure transducer protector - attach the pressure transducer protector to the system pressure transducer connector. 6. Infusion line clamps - attach the male connector on the infusion line to the infusion solution (if more than two bags, use a multiconnector/multidivider). Make sure that the clamps on the connected lines are open. (And see that the clamps on the lines not used are properly closed).

8:5

Priming and rinsing Follow the instructions in chapter 4 “Priming and rinsing the extracorporeal circuit” Add the following: 1. Activate HDF by pressing the HDF button for 3 seconds (the button will light up). 2. Set the priming volume for the infusion line (PRIMING) to at least 200 ml. The priming will start as soon as the Blood pump button is pressed, or if this is already done, as soon as the value is selected. The infusion pump will run at the same rate as when bolus is given. 3. When the priming of the infusion line is complete, the venous/infusion pump stops automatically. Turn the expansion chamber to it’s upright position. It is not necessary to adjust the level in the expansion chamber. Check the infusion line for air. If air is present, prime the line extra until it is free of air. If the blood lines were primed/rinsed before the infusion line, readjust the level in the venous drip chamber if necessary (see position 4 and 5 in “Priming and rinsing procedure” in chapter 4 in this manual). Note • It is not possible to use the level adjustment buttons (left (gray) area) for adjusting the level in the expansion chamber. There will be an alarm for system pressure if this is done. The machine will automatically readjust the level in the expansion chamber during both priming and treatment. Note

8:6



Initiating and starting Continue to follow the instructions in chapter 4, “ Initiating dialysis” and “Start the treatment” and add the following: 1. Briefly press the HDF button and set the total infusion volume (SET). AK 200 S will now automatically calculate the “total” ultrafiltration volume, i.e. the infusion volume + patient weight loss. Note • The UF volume set via UF volume button gives the net fluid removal from the patient, i.e. total ultrafiltration - infusion volume. Note

2. When blood is detected and the Start UF Stop button is pressed, the HDF procedure starts. CAUTION Make sure that the blood path of the flow diagram lights up, if it does not light up, check that the venous blood line is correctly placed in the priming detector. If the blood path does not light up, the machine considers the patient not connected and as a consequence the UF system is not controlling the patient ultrafiltration. If the air detector has not been activated during priming it will not be automatically activated until the priming detector detects blood. CAUTION Note • The HDF procedure start is delayed approximately 15 seconds after blood is detected. It is also stopped during the automatic calibration of the UF system. Note

When the treatment time equals 0:00, the HDF procedure stops automatically.



8:7

Bolus infusion possibility The machine is equipped with a ”bolus infusion” function to simplify extra infusion, e.g. in case of a hypotension episode during treatment. 1. Press the HDF button briefly. 2. Select the extra infusion volume (BOLUS). As soon as the value is selected, the bolus infusion will start and automatically run with a rate of 50 ml/min until the set infusion volume is given. The UF rate is automatically decreased to minimum UF rate during the time when the bolus infusion is given. Note • The accumulated bolus infusion volume is displayed below BOLUS. This volume is not automatically compensated for, thus if the UF goal is to be achieved, the same amount has to be added to the UF volume. Note

General CAUTION Medical decisions must not be based only on information from BVS, as there are many other factors that should be taken into account.

There is no direct, independent supervision of the BVS. CAUTION

The BVS measures changes in the blood volume of the patient continuously during the treatment. 5 minutes after the priming detector has detected blood the BVS will acquire a reference value, 0%. Blood volume changes (∆BV) during the treatment will be related to the reference value. If the patient’s blood volume decreases this will result in a negative percentage. Conversely an increased blood volume will show as a positive percentage. During the function check of the blood monitor the BVS performs an self test, provided the BVS is in its on-position. The self test has to be performed with an empty cuvette holder. Therefore, the cuvette must be outside the cuvette holder until the function check of the blood monitor has been completed (flashing Priming button). Note • The blood flow rate has to be above a certain rate and the Hemoglobin value of the patient has to be above a certain value in order for a correct BVS reference value to be obtained. If not, attention alarms will be generated 30 minutes after treatment start. See the “Technical data and specifications” chapter for further details. If the blood flow rate decreases below the specified value after the BVS reference value has been obtained, no ∆BV value will be displayed (--- will be shown).

• If the BVS is turned on when priming has started, no self test will take place. As a consequence the accuracy may be outside the specified range. Note

AK 200 S Operator’s manual - BPM

10:1

General The Blood Pressure Monitor measures blood pressure and pulse rate. It is possible to use the BPM as soon as the machine is started. All measurements which are taken 30 minutes before the priming detector detects blood will be displayed as previously measured values on the information display. The BPM cuff and cuff hose are protected against the discharge from a defibrillator (Type BF, defibrillator proof). CAUTION Do not touch the BPM cuff or cuff hose when a defibrillator is being discharged, as doing so may cause electric shock.

In the event of accidental wetting of the BPM cuff or cuff hose connections, wipe immediately to prevent moisture from entering the machine. No protective means for burn of the patient are provided when the BPM is used together with high frequency (HF) surgical equipment. CAUTION

The line from the cuff (cuff hose) is attached to the back of the AK 200 S (see "Rear of the machine" in chapter 2). The cuff is available in different designs and sizes, see "List of concentrates, accessories and disposables, for use with the AK 200 S" in chapter 1. The cuff and the cuff hose can be ordered from your Gambro representative. It is important to use proper cuff size for accurate measurements. Use the circumference of the patient’s arm to determine cuff size. If the bladder is too wide, the blood pressure reading will be erroneously low; if it is too narrow, the reading will be erroneously high. Apply the cuff snugly so that one finger can fit between the cuff and the patient’s arm. More information about how to choose the right cuff size, how to connect the cuff to the cuff hose and the cuff hose to the machine can be read in the “package insert” leaflet which is enclosed to the cuff and cuff hose. The “package insert” leaflet also contains information about how to properly apply the cuff on the patients arm.

10:2



Patient factors which affect readings Excess patient movement can interfere with readings. Ensure that the patient is not moving during readings, just as one would with manual readings. Avoid applying external pressure to the cuff during readings. Some arrhythmias may cause pressure fluctuations that make obtaining readings more difficult. If difficulty obtaining readings occurs in the presence of arrhythmia, blood pressure should periodically be verified by another method. •

Do not apply a blood pressure cuff to a limb with an access, e.g. fistula or graft.

•

Do not apply a blood pressure cuff to a limb being monitored with a pulse oximetry sensor.

•

Do not apply a cuff to a limb that has restricted blood flow.

•

Avoid applying a cuff to a limb that has an intravenous line in place.

CAUTION Check that the blood circulation in the arm is not affected due to blood pressure measurements.

The Blood Pressure Monitor must be used only for adult patients or for children with a pediatric cuff and not for infant or neonatal patients. The manufacturer advises the user that the information originating from the Blood Pressure Monitor cannot be used alone as unique source of information to induce any therapeutic or pharmacological actions. CAUTION

Handling The BPM is handled using the BPM button, the Arrow buttons and the Set knob, see “Operator’s panel” in the “Controlling the machine - general guidelines” chapter. When the BPM button is pressed, once or twice, the BPM screens will be shown on the information display. BPM button, steady light; indicates that a measurement check is in progress. BPM button, flashing light; indicates that an attention alarm which needs confirmation has been generated. Confirm by pressing the flashing BPM button.

When a measurement check is in progress, the BPM button will light up (steady light) and the current pressure in the cuff will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the information display. At the top of the information display the measurement values will be presented as “---” instead of numbers (not valid for continuous mode). As soon as the measurement check is finished the values for blood pressure and pulse rate will be presented beside the clock symbol which indicates the time for when the measurement check was performed. The cuff pressure will be maximum 180 mmHg the first time the blood pressure is being measured when a blood pressure measurement check is carried out. If there are difficulties for the BPM to obtain the correct values there will be two re-measurements with higher cuff pressure. If the measurement check still fails there will be an attention alarm to guide the operator to take correct actions (see chapter 14). If the measurement check was successfully performed, the cuff pressure will be maximum 50 mmHg above the latest measured systolic blood pressure for the following measurement checks in the sequence. Note • If the BPM button is pressed when no BPM has been installed, the information display will remain dark. Note



10:5

The BPM screens BPM button pressed once When the BPM button is pressed once, the latest measured values for systolic, diastolic, mean blood pressure and pulse rate will be shown as numerical values at the top of the information display. The clock symbol indicates the time for when the measurement check was performed. Previously measured values for systolic, diastolic, mean blood pressure and pulse rate will be shown as lines in the graph. It is also possible to start and stop measurement checks, choose mode and set alarms on this screen, see information further on in this chapter for each activity. •

The numerical value for the latest systolic blood pressure is presented in white. A white point marks every measurement check and a white line connects the points.

•

The numerical value for the latest diastolic blood pressure is presented in yellow. A yellow point marks every measurement check and a yellow line connects the points.

•

The numerical value for the latest mean blood pressure is presented in green. A green point marks every measurement check and a green line connects the points.

•

The numerical value for the latest pulse rate is presented in red and is . A red point marks every measurement marked with this symbol check and a red line connects the points.

Figure 10:1

BPM, screen with latest measured values and graph

The horizontal axis shows the time. The length of the axis equals the treatment time +10 min rounded off to the next half hour. Minimum length of the axis is 3 hours and maximum 10 hours. The red line shows elapsed treatment time.

10:6



The vertical axis to the left will show mmHg for the blood pressure. The grading will be set to 25 - 250 mmHg, with a marker on every 25 mmHg. The vertical axis to the right will show beats/min for the pulse rate and is marked with this symbol . The grading will be set to 25 - 175 beats/min with a marker at every 25 beats/min. If a measurement check fails or is outside the set interval, there will be an interruption of the line in the graph. However, in the event that a measurement check is outside the set interval, the value will be shown as numerical information at the top of the information display. It is possible to move between the points on the lines in the graph by using the Set knob in order to read off previously measured values. Turn the Set knob anticlockwise and a light blue horizontal line will be shown, indicating which measurement check is shown. The numerical values for this measurement check will now be shown at the top of the information display. This can be done in any BPM mode, also when a measurement check is in progress.

BPM button pressed twice When the BPM button is pressed twice, the 8 latest measured values for systolic, diastolic, mean blood pressure and pulse rate will be shown as numerical values, starting with the latest values at the top of the screen. It is also possible to start and stop measurement checks, choose time intervals for automatic mode and set alarms on this screen, see indicates information further on in this chapter for each activity. pulse rate, indicates the time for when the measurement check was performed.

AK 200 S Operator’s manual - Diascan

11:1

General Application The Diascan can be used for: •

Clearance measurement (K) in order to read off the current dialysis efficiency for the on going treatment.

•

Dialysis dose measurement (Kt or Kt/V) in order to check that the prescribed dialysis dose is being maintained, which provides quality assurance for the treatments.

•

Kt/V target supervision, which means that the machine constantly calculates if the desired and minimum values for Kt/V, set by the operator for each individual patient, can be reached at treatment end. If not, the operator will be immediately notified during treatment.

The measurement checks can be performed one at a time when required, or continuously at set intervals during treatment. If Kt/V measurement is required, a distribution volume (VOLUME) has to be set before the measurement check takes place. The distribution volume is patient-related (based on the patients dry weight) and has to be properly estimated and set by the operator of the machine in order to obtain a correct Kt/V value.

How the measuring process is performed by the machine With the use of a conductivity sensor, placed after the dialyzer in the fluid path, it is possible to measure clearance during treatment. A measurement check is performed in two phases. During the first measurement phase (base line phase) data from the sensor is collected for some minutes. The second phase (step phase) begins with an increase or a decrease in the conductivity level. This is followed by data collection for some minutes. If there will be an increase or a decrease is dependent on the relation of the conductivity levels in the dialysis fluid before and after the dialyzer in the first phase. This is to ensure that the patient’s sodium balance remains as neutral as possible. When the second phase is complete the conductivity level is returned to the set value and the clearance calculation is performed. The calculation is based on the measured difference between the conductivity levels in the first and second phases.

11:2



Glossary of Diascan parameters and key terms Parameters:

K is clearance. Clearance tells the operator how much blood, in ml/min, is cleaned of urea after it has passed the dialyzer. This value can be compared with the current blood flow rate at that time. Kt is clearance multiplied by elapsed treatment time. This value (in litres) can be compared with the accumulated blood volume (in litres) achieved since treatment start. Kt/V is a calculation done by the machine depending on the set distribution volume entered by the operator of the machine. Qb is blood flow rate in ml/min. Na+ is the estimated sodium concentration in serum calculated by the machine with respect to serum conductivity. Key terms:

Diascan is the commercial name for a clearance sensor. Distribution volume is the urea distribution volume in litres (water in the body), estimated for the individual patient, based on the patient’s dry weight. The estimation is based on certain formulae used for this purpose, chosen by the prescribing physician responsible for the patient. The distribution volume has to be set by the operator of the machine in order for a correct Kt/V value to be obtained. Forecast in this context, is a machine-calculated prediction of the Kt or/and Kt/V value to be achieved at treatment end. Target in this context, is the desired Kt/V value set by the operator that is to be achieved at treatment end.



11:3

Precautions before use CAUTION Medical decisions must not be based only on information from the Diascan, as there are many other factors that should be taken into account. CAUTION

The Diascan function can be used in HD mode, double needle treatment. It can be used when performing single needle treatment but the accuracy of the machine measurement may be compromised. The same is valid for profiling of sodium and bicarbonate, whereas the measurement accuracy is not affected when using profiling of ultrafiltration rate. If profiling is active, the profiling values will be frozen during the Diascan step. If the Diascan is activated in Isolated UF mode, the machine will generate an attention alarm telling the operator that the Diascan function is not available. An attention alarm is generated if a treatment parameter (see below) is changed at the same time as a measurement check is in progress, and it will not be possible to change the parameter. The treatment parameters that cannot be changed during an ongoing measurement check are: - sodium and bicarbonate (conductivity) - temperature - dialysis fluid flow - UF volume - profiling settings - isolated UF activation If possible, wait until the check is complete or turn off the Diascan in order to change the parameter. Another attention alarm is generated when one of the following is done at the same time as a measurement check is in progress: - the blood flow rate is changed - the Blood pump button is pressed - the Start UF Stop button is pressed - the Fluid bypass button is pressed - a treatment alarm that produce dialysis fluid bypass or blood pump stop is generated. In this case the measurement check is interrupted. The attention alarm is to be confirmed by pressing the flashing Kt/V button and the machine will automatically reschedule measuring as soon as possible. Note • The blood flow rate and the dialysis fluid flow rate have to be set within certain ranges in order for correct Diascan measuring results to be obtained. See the “Technical data and specifications” chapter for further details. Note

11:4



Handling The Diascan is handled using the Kt/V button, the Arrow buttons and the Set knob, see “Operator’s panel” in the “Controlling the machine - general guidelines” chapter. When the Kt/V button is pressed the Diascan screens will be shown on the information display. Kt/V button, steady light; indicates that a measurement check is in progress. Kt/V button, flashing light; indicates that an attention alarm which needs confirmation has been generated. Confirm by pressing the flashing Kt/V button.

Screens

EN1115

The Diascan shows three different screens on the information display depending on whether the Kt/V button is pressed once, twice or three times. The screens change in sequence every time the Kt/V button is pressed.

Figure 11:1

Diascan screens, without set distribution volume

EN1161

If the distribution volume (VOLUME) has been set by the operator, the second and third screen will change automatically and it will be possible to set a Kt/V target value (TARGET) and a Kt/V alarm limit (LIMIT).

Figure 11:2


Diascan screens, set distribution volume


11:5

The first screen The Diascan measurement mode is to be set on this screen and, if desired, an alarm limit for clearance. Measurement result values for K, Kt (or Kt/V), Na+, Qb and elapsed treatment time are displayed when measurement checks have been performed. Press the Kt/V button once and the first Diascan screen will be shown:

The second screen On this screen the distribution volume is to be set if Kt/V measurement is desired. It is also possible to set a target value and an alarm limit for Kt/V. Forecast and measurement result values for accumulated Kt (or Kt/V if distribution volume has been set) will be displayed when measurement checks have been performed. The screen will automatically change when distribution volume has been set. Press the Kt/V button twice and the second Diascan screen will be shown:

Figure 11:5

Second Diascan screen

Distribution volume The operator is requested to set a distribution volume in litres, estimated for the individual patient, in order to obtain a correct Kt/V value from the Diascan. The distribution volume has to be properly estimated and set by the operator. The calculation of Kt/V done in the machine is entirely dependent on the value for the individual patient being the correct one. For further information; see “Glossary of Diascan parameters and key terms” in this chapter. When the lit Arrow button below VOLUME is pressed the text will flash and --- (zero) will be shown on the information display. The volume is now to be set by using the Set knob, see below. If desired, it is possible for the machine to carry out a distribution volume calculation using the Watson formula, see next section for instructions. After the lit Arrow button has been pressed, once the Set knob is turned clockwise, 40 l is the default starting point value . Adjust the value as necessary. If desired, set the value to zero (---) by turning the Set knob anticlockwise, and the machine will consequently display only the Kt value. When a measurement check has been performed, the screen will show different measurement result values dependent on whether the distribution volume has been set or not. The screen will automatically change.

Distribution volume calculation using the Watson formula

It is possible for the machine to carry out a distribution volume calculation, displayed in litres, using the Watson formula. In order for the machine to provide a value, gender, weight, height and age (if male) of the particular patient must be entered into the machine. When the calculation has been done, a (W) will be displayed beside the distribution volume value provided, showing that the value has been calculated by the machine. After the lit Arrow button below VOLUME has been pressed, the text will flash and --- (zero) will be shown on the information display. Immediately turn directly the Set knob anticlockwise and the Watson screen will be displayed as below.

Figure 11:6

The Watson screen

Confirm entering the calculation procedure by pressing the Arrow button below Continue and the screen will change. Gender, Male or Female, is to be selected first by turning the Set knob. The selected alternative will flash; press the Arrow button below Continue to confirm selected alternative. The screen will then automatically change and patient weight is to be selected. Enter patient weight and height in a similar way, as above. If Male has been selected, patient age is to be entered in the same way too. If necessary, cancellation can be done by pressing the Hold button during the procedure. When all data have been entered, the screen will change and it will take a few seconds until it changes again and returns to the original screen. The distribution volume value, in litres, calculated by the machine according to the Watson formula, will be shown below VOLUME. A W in brackets is shown beside the value indicating that the value has been calculated by the machine. Note that if the distribution volume value (VOLUME) is changed, the (W) beside the value will disappear. If a new calculation is desired, turn the Set knob anticlockwise until --(zero) appears, and it will be possible to redo the procedure from the start.



11:9

Forecast The numerical value below FORECAST is a calculation of the Kt or Kt/V value that is estimated to be obtained when the treatment is complete. If a distribution volume (VOLUME) has been set, this Kt/V forecast value will be calculated by the machine and automatically be shown as soon as the first measurement check has been performed. If a distribution volume has not been set, the machine will only calculate and display the Kt forecast value. The calculated forecast value (Kt or Kt/V) is adjusted after every successfully performed measurement check throughout the treatment.

Target When the lit Arrow button below TARGET is pressed the text will flash and it is possible to set a desired dialysis dose target value (Kt/V) that is to be achieved at the end of treatment by using the Set knob. The target value for Kt/V can be set between OFF and 2.0. When the Kt/V target value has been set, the machine calculates the time needed to reach the target. This time to target is displayed on the third screen.

Alarm limit for Kt/V The alarm limit for minimum Kt/V is to be set by pressing the lit Arrow button below LIMIT until the text is flashing. Set a proper alarm limit by using the Set knob. For further information; see “Alarms, Kt/V alarm limit” in this chapter.

Accumulated and forecast values The accumulated value for Kt, obtained since treatment start, is shown next. The small arrows indicate the calculated Kt forecast value that is estimated to be obtained when the treatment is complete. The same value is also shown below FORECAST as in the second screen. However, if distribution volume (VOLUME) has been set, the accumulated and forecast values for Kt/V are also shown directly underneath. In this case the value below FORECAST changes to the Kt/V forecast value.



11:13

Time to target When a target value for Kt/V (TARGET) has been set in the second screen (or in this screen), the machine will show an estimate of the treatment time needed in order to reach the desired Kt/V target value. Time to target will be calculated by the machine and automatically shown as soon as the first measurement check has been performed indicated by . this symbol If time to target is estimated to be within the remaining treatment time set, . the time will be displayed in green and a happy smiley symbol appears If not, the time will be displayed in red indicating that the treatment must be extended for the desired Kt/V target value to be reached. Note that an attention alarm will not be generated in this case.

Third screen symbols The happy smiley shows that the forecast remaining treatment time to reach the Kt/V target value is within the remaining set treatment time. The clock indicates time. This symbol indicates time to target, i.e. the time needed to reach the Kt/V target value set by the operator. The arrows indicates a forecast value. A dashed line; ---- indicates that there are no values measured or calculated to be displayed.

Alarms Clearance alarm limit The alarm limit for clearance is the lowest acceptable clearance value measured during treatment. When the lit Arrow button below K LIMIT (first screen) is pressed the text will flash. Set a proper alarm limit by using the Set knob. Once the Set knob is turned the starting point value is 50% of the current blood flow rate. Adjust the value as necessary. If desired, set the alarm limit to OFF by turning the Set knob anticlockwise. If the measured clearance value is below the alarm limit set, an attention alarm will be generated: CLEARANCE TOO LOW Check cause, adjust treatment parameters to increase clearance or adjust the alarm limit for clearance as above.

Kt/V alarm limit The alarm limit for Kt/V is the lowest acceptable Kt/V forecast value (calculated by the machine), that is to be accepted when the treatment is complete. The value that is to be set is the minimum Kt/V value that has to be achieved when the treatment has finished. When the lit Arrow button below LIMIT (second screen) is pressed the text will flash. Set a proper alarm limit by using the Set knob. If desired, set the alarm limit to OFF by turning the Set knob anticlockwise. If the Kt/V forecast value, estimated at that time to be obtained when the treatment is complete, is below the Kt/V alarm limit set, an attention alarm will be generated: Kt/V FORECAST TOO LOW Check cause, adjust treatment parameters or adjust the alarm limit for Kt/V as above.

AK 200 S Operator’s manual - Hygiene and maintenance

12:1

General hygiene and maintenance The contents of this chapter concern the hygiene and maintenance of the AK 200 S that should be carried out by the operator of the machine. CAUTION No other maintenance than that mentioned in this chapter shall be performed by the operator/user of the machine. The casing must only be opened by a fully trained service technician, refer to the Service Manual.

Preventive maintenance shall be performed according to instructions in "General precautions before use" in chapter 1, in this manual. CAUTION

In order to maintain high microbiological quality of the dialysis fluid, it is important that the operator/user is attentive to hygiene and the maintenance of the machine. There are factors and procedures that affect the hygiene of the flow path and consequently the quality of the prepared dialysis fluid. The following must be considered: •

the disinfection, decalcification and cleaning must be performed according to instructions in this chapter

•

the frequency of disinfection, decalcification and cleaning of the machine should be carried out according to recommendations in this chapter

•

the quality of the inlet water entering the machine

•

the quality of the concentrates being used

•

the inlet water tube, which preferably should be disinfected by using integrated heat disinfection program

•

the arrangement of the drain connection from the machine, either using the integrated air-gap on the machine or via an arranged air-gap, to avoid back contamination from the drain system in both cases

Note • An attention alarm appears when the machine is started if more than 7 days1 have passed since the last complete disinfection. It is still possible to perform a treatment, and the attention light will switch off as soon as the priming button is lit (steady light). However, the attention alarm will appear again the next time the machine is turned on, if a disinfection program has not been completely carried out. Note

Glossary of disinfection terms Disinfection is removal or reduction of bacteria in the fluid path of the dialysis machine. Decalcification is removal of calcium and magnesium carbonate precipitates in the fluid path, originating from the bicarbonate dialysis fluid. Cleaning is removal of fats, proteins and organic material, originating from the patient and located mainly in the fluid path of the machine downstream the dialyzer.



12:3

Disinfection history When the Heat disinf or Chem disinf button is pressed a list of the most recently performed disinfection programs (both heat and chemical disinfection programs) will be displayed on the screen. The last performed disinfection program is shown at the top of the screen. The 50 most recently performed disinfection programs can be displayed, scroll up and down by using the Set knob. The symbols to the left on the screen show type of disinfection program. See list of disinfection symbols below. Date and time are shown next. If the disinfection program was successfully performed, the time for when the disinfection program was complete, in combination with a green tick, is shown. If the disinfection program was not successfully performed, the time for when the disinfection program was started, in combination with a red cross, is shown.

Any Heat disinfection program can be exchanged to a Heat disinfection program in combination with CleanCart C or liquid citric acid. Heat disinfection can be replaced by Chemical disinfection but note that decalcification with CleanCart C or liquid citric acid has to be performed at least after every third treatment. An integrated Heat disinfection program is recommended when possible since it also includes the inlet water tube. In order to enable the cleaning agents to remove fats, proteins etc. efficiently, cleaning (CleanCart A or sodium hypochlorite) should be carried out after decalcification (CleanCart C or liquid citric acid). Note • An attention alarm appears when the machine is started if more than 7 days3 have passed since the last complete disinfection. It is still possible to perform a treatment, and the attention light will switch off as soon as the priming button is lit (steady light). However, the attention alarm will appear again the next time the machine is turned on, if a disinfection program has not been completely carried out. Note

When the machine is planned not to be in use If the machine is planned not to be in use for a period of time exceeding seven days the microbiological standard of the flow path can be maintained with one of the following alternatives: •

Perform a Heat disinfection program at least every seventh day and a Heat disinfection program before treatment.

•

Fill the machine with a proper chemical disinfectant in order to preserve it.

However, experience has shown that peracetic acid is not reliable alone, use CleanCart-C, citric acid or acetic acid regularly. 5 Oxalic acid is recommended only when having problems with iron oxide precipitates (reddish-brown). Oxalic acid increases the wear of the machine.

Hygiene - Heat disinfection General - Heat disinfection During the Heat disinfection program (HEAT) the inlet water is heated up and flushed through the fluid monitor. The program begins with a rinse in order to rinse out possible residues from concentrates used in the preceding treatment. After this, the program consists of three consecutive phases; fill-up phase, circulation phase and drain phase. The actual disinfection takes place in the circulation phase. The circulation phase consists of a number of cycles where each cycle is a sequence where heated water is passed through all parts of the fluid path. The standard heat disinfection program consists of 15 such cycles. The AK 200 S fluid path is constructed in a way that prevents possible contaminants in the post-dialyzer fluid path from reaching the patient. The construction principle is called single pass, which means no recirculation in the fluid path, and a separation between the pre-dialyzer circuit and the post-dialyzer circuit. This is to ensure that no fluid from the downstream (post) dialyzer circuit comes into contact with the pre-dialyzer circuit. The construction principle is an effective obstacle to transmission of blood-borne viruses like Hepatitis B, from the fluid path to the patient, when a blood leak in the dialyzer has occurred. In addition the standard heat disinfection program has the capacity to make viruses inactive. The combination of the standard heat disinfection program process (15 cycles) and the safe hygienic construction of the fluid path (single pass) described above provides high safety levels for the patient. The standard heat disinfection program is validated by using microbiological challenge tests according to NFS 90-304. The standard heat disinfection program fulfils the requirements in this standard. The heat disinfection program can be extended, and has been evaluated for 25 cycles. 25 cycles may be used in case of substantial contamination of the fluid path. This program provides different positions of the fluid path with at least 30% more heat. As a consequence, the duration of this heat disinfection program will be extended by approximately 10 minutes, compared to the standard program. It is possible to run a Heat disinfection program in combination with CleanCart: • Decalcification program with CleanCart-C •

Cleaning program with CleanCart-A

If Heat disinfection program with CleanCart is chosen, the contents of the CleanCart are dissolved and the solution is heated up and flushed through the fluid monitor during the heat disinfection program as described above. A rinse phase has been added at the end of the program, which leads to longer time for the program to be complete. The CleanCart-C can be replaced by liquid citric acid in order to perform a decalcification program; Heat disinfection program with liquid citric HCEN9751 Revision.12.2005 Program version 8.xx

Maintenance - the flow path The flow path The maintenance of the flow path with aspect to cleaning and decalcification is important in order to maintain the specified performance of the machine.

Cleaning Fats, proteins and organic material originating from the patient may deposit down stream the dialyzer. The requirements for cleaning vary depending on the use of convective therapies (Low volume HDF) and the permeability properties of the used dialyzer membranes. The number of treatments and the setting of parameters will also influence the amount of deposits downstream the dialyzer. A general guideline for the frequency of cleaning with CleanCart-C and sodium hypochlorite (alternatively CleanCart-A) is described in the introductory part of this chapter. An increased cleaning may be necessary but, depending on the conditions described above, also a lower frequency may be sufficient to maintain the system.

Decalcification Calcium carbonate may deposit in the flow path. The requirements for decalcification vary depending on elements as water quality, type of concentrate and Bicarbonate settings. A general guideline for the frequency of decalcification with CleanCart-C or liquid citric acid is described in the introductory part of this chapter. An increased decalcification may be necessary but, depending on the conditions described above, also a lower frequency may be sufficient to maintain the system. Note • Incorrect cleaning of the UF cell may be a contributing factor for increased inaccuracy of the UF system. If any deviations in UF accuracy should occur, it is recommended to use sodium hypochlorite weekly.

• In order to enable the cleaning agents to remove fats, proteins etc. efficiently, cleaning should be carried out after decalcification. Note

Performance and specification - Control System Note • When accuracy ranges are written as e.g. “(±1 ml/min or ±1%)” the widest range is valid.

• For the qualified technician the AK 200 S Service Manual is available. The Service Manual provides all the necessary information for the safe and required maintenance of the machine. Note

Blood Flow Control Values for the blood pump(s) are based on the arterial blood pump with a pump segment of 7.9 mm and 2.0 mm wall thickness. It is possible to preset the machine so the blood flow values are based only on the blood pump rotations. For paediatric blood tubes with pump segment of 4.0 mm it is also possible to set blood flow to 10 or 15 ml/min. Accuracy is then ±5 ml/min.

strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the AK 200 S is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the AK 200 S should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the AK 200 S. 3 Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m. 13:20



Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the AK 200 S The AK 200 S is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the AK 200 S can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the AK 200 S as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

Alarm list Light: Steady Mute time: 2 min Additional information: Low limit: blood pump stopped, venous clamp closed (only when blood is detected). High limit: blood pump stopped, in SN mode arterial clamp closed. Buzzer only when blood is detected. If necessary, it is possible to override the alarm actions, see "Override possibilities" in chapter 3 of this manual. Possible cause: Low alarm: The blood line has separated from the dialyzer. The blood line has separated at the arterial or venous side of the access. The position of the venous needle has changed. Clotting before or in the dialyzer. The blood flow rate has been reduced. High alarm: The venous blood line is kinked or clamped. The position of the venous needle has changed. Clotting has occurred after the venous pressure measurement e.g. in the blood line, in the venous drip chamber or in the needle. Light: Flashing Mute time: 2 min Additional information: Alarm limits are too wide. After 2.5 min an attention also appears. Will only appear when blood is detected. Possible cause: The alarm limits have been widened due to a started or stopped blood pump or a change in the set blood flow.

14:2



Light: Steady Mute time: 2 min Additional information: Temperature alarm. Dialysis Fluid bypassed. Buzzer only when blood is detected Possible cause: Low alarm: The machine has not yet stabilized the temperature after an interruption of the water supply. No power supply to the heating elements. High alarm: The temperature of the incoming water is too high. The machine has not yet stabilized the temperature after the function check. Light: Steady Mute time: 2 min Additional information: Dialysis fluid flow bypassed. Buzzer only when blood is detected. If conductivity is below 9 mS/cm the UF rate will automatically be set to zero. Possible cause: Low alarm: The concentrate container/BiCart cartridge is empty. The concentrate has not been connected. Incorrect concentrate has been connected. The proper concentrate has not been selected on the display. There is an interruption in the concentrate administration to the machine e.g. the connector is not properly connected to the pick-up tube, the concentrate line is kinked or occluded. Air is drawn into the machine instead of concentrate. The filter(s) of the concentrate(s) is/are clogged. The content of the concentrate container does not correspond to the specifications given. High alarm: Incorrect concentrate has been connected. The proper concentrate has not been selected on the display. The content of the concentrate container does not correspond to the specifications given.



14:3

Light: Steady Mute time: 2 min Additional information: Blood pump stopped, venous clamp closed. Buzzer only when blood is detected. If necessary, it is possible to override the alarm actions, see "Override possibilities" in chapter 3 of this manual. Possible cause: Low alarm: The arterial blood line is kinked or clotted between the arterial access and the arterial pressure measurement. The set blood flow rate exceeds the blood flow that the arterial access has possibility to deliver. The position of the arterial needle has changed. High alarm: The blood line has separated at the arterial side of the access. The position of the arterial needle has changed. Air or infusion enters the arterial line between the arterial access and the blood pump e.g. when a pre blood pump infusion is connected. Light: Flashing Mute time: 2 min Additional information: Alarm limits are too wide. After 2.5 min an attention also appears. Will only appear when blood is detected. Possible cause: The alarm limits have been widened due to a started or stopped blood pump or a change in the set blood flow.

14:4



Light: Steady Mute time: 1 min Additional information: Buzzer only when blood is detected Possible cause: The TMP during treatment depends mainly on five parameters: - UF-coefficient of the dialyzer - treatment time - UF-volume - blood flow - if HDF, infusion volume Changes in TMP during treatment depends on several different things: - changed UF value - changed treatment time - the condition of the dialyzer - the substitution fluid volume during HDF treatment - changes in the UF-control system that can cause reduced accuracy in the weight loss of the patient - change of blood flow The changes can cause both high- and low TMP alarms. Low alarm: - the set value for the treatment time has been increased - the set value for the UF volume has been decreased - decreasing venous pressure - decreased substitution fluid volume, during HDF - changes in the UF-control system that can cause reduced accuracy in the weight loss of the patient. High alarm: - the set value for the treatment time has been decreased - the set value for the UF volume has been increased - increasing venous pressure - partly or complete clogged dialyzer - increased substitution fluid volume, during HDF, can lead to a UF-rate that is too high in proportion to the blood pump flow - changes in the UF-control system that can cause reduced accuracy in the weight loss of the patient.



14:5

Light: Flashing Mute time: 2 min Additional information: Alarm limits are too wide. After 2.5 min an attention also appears. Will only appear when blood is detected. Possible cause: The alarm limits have been widened due to - a started or stopped blood pump - changed treatment time - changed UF volume - started or stopped ultrafiltration Light: Steady Mute time: 2 min Additional information: Blood pump stopped, venous and arterial clamps closed. Buzzer only when blood is detected. Adjust the level in the venous drip chamber by using the level adjustment buttons. If necessary (particularly when performing single needle/double pump), it is possible to override the alarm actions, see “Override possibilities” in chapter 3 of this manual. Possible cause: Blood line(s) not properly connected at e.g. the arterial needle connection, the dialyzer connection(s), the infusion port(s). Blood line(s) or the dialyzer not properly de-aired during priming. An empty infusion container with air inlet is connected to the blood line(s). The arterial needle is dislocated.

Chapter 15 Major changes in operator’s manual


AK 200 S Operator’s manual - Major changes

15:1

Major changes between program version 7.xx and 8.xx Chapter 1 A new section has been included; "How to use this manual". This is a brief explanation of how the chapters in the manual are structured and how they are intended to be used. A new manual symbol is also introduced in this section, in "Definitions of expressions used in this manual". The symbol; , indicates that it is possible to preset the value of a parameter, and appears throughout the manual.

Chapter 2 A small text has been added in the "Blood monitor" section, position 11. The level adjustment buttons are now only active for maximum 6 seconds at a time, when pressed and hold.

Chapter 3 A small information has been included in the "Concentrate stand-by mode" section, concerning the fact that the fluid flow is automatically decreased to 100 ml/min when Concentrate stand-by mode is active, to minimize the water consumption. As a consequence, it will now take one minute longer for the dialysis fluid preparation to be resumed. The section "Override possibilities" has been updated, especially note the new information about changed machine actions during air detector alarm override. A new section has been added; "Downloading treatment parameters" as it is now possible to download certain treatment parameters from an external computer system. "BiCart/SelectCart change during treatment" has been rewritten. Information is included about the fact that the priming process of the cartridge is indicated by a cartridge symbol in the upper right corner of the information display.

Chapter 4 The section "Discontinuing" has been rewritten and updated with new instructions for the discontinuing procedure. If the BiCart Select system or the BiCart cartridge has been used during treatment, and if desired, the emptying procedure of the containers can now be started at any time during the discontinuing procedure after treatment end has been confirmed.

15:2



Chapter 5 The chapter has been rewritten based on, and with referrals to, chapter 4. A glossary of single needle parameters and key terms has been added, as well as instructions on how to perform single needle/single pump treatment with pressure-controlled arterial and venous phases.

Chapter 11 There is information included about the possibility for the machine to carry out a distribution volume calculation, displayed in litres, using the Watson formula. See "The second screen", "Distribution volume" and "Distribution volume calculation using the Watson formula".

Chapter 12 Changes have been made in the "Schedule for hygiene and maintenance". "Disinfection history" has been updated, as it is now possible for the machine to display the 50 most recently performed disinfection programs.

Chapter 14 The additional information to the attention alarm; EXTRA PRIMING VOLUME ACHIEVED, has been updated as the buzzer now can be muted when the blood pump is not running until the blood pump is started again.
