Power Failure During Dialysis - Fresenius Medical Care 2008K Operator's Manual

Chapter 4—Monitoring the Treatment
To reconnect the patient to machine:
1. Press the Start/Stop key to stop the blood pump
2. Clamp the saline line.
3. Aseptically reconnect the arterial and venous bloodlines to the patient's access sites.
4. Restart the blood pump and adjust blood pump to the prescribed flow rate.
5. Touch the Tx Clock button and press CONFIRM to resume the treatment.

Power Failure during Dialysis

In case of a power failure, the blood pump stops and the venous line clamp closes. The
dialysate flow pump, heater, blood leak detector, and level detector are non-functional. All
function lights go out. A steady, audible alarm will immediately sound for seven minutes that
cannot be silenced with the Mute key. It can be silenced manually, however, by removing
the 9-volt battery from the back of the machine.
Manually Operating the Blood Pump
In the event of a power failure during treatment, the 2008K blood pump can be manually
operated to return the blood to the patient or to keep the blood in recirculation if a quick
resumption of power is anticipated. Either option is accomplished with the auxiliary hand
crank supplied with the machine (see Figure 54). The hand crank is attached to the back of
the machine.

Note: As a precaution, the handle will detach from the crank when attempting to turn the
rotor in the wrong direction. An arrow embossed on the face of the pump-segment housing
points in the correct direction of rotation (clockwise).
