T- 7.6.4 Slow Flow Calibration; T- 7.6.5 Calibrate Slow Flow Temperature - Fresenius Medical Care 2008K2 Troubleshooting Manual

T- 7.6.4 'SLOW FLOW' CALIBRATION
NOTE:
This calibration requires PATIENCE to avoid error!
a) [TEMP DAC] = 255 and Flow Rate (Figure right) = 100 (ml/min)! The external flow
indicator's 'bob' may look like it is NOT moving! This is NORMAL here!
b) 'Sharply' press 'CONFIRM'. The screen reads "11. Adjust the TEMP DAC..." and [TEMP DAC] turns
pale yellow / white.
c) Select [TEMP DAC]. It turns bright yellow. Set it to "210" then 'sharply' press 'CONFIRM' ONCE!
d) ENSURING [TEMP DAC] is pale yellow / white continue to part e. If (and ONLY if) [TEMP DAC] is
GRAY escape the calibration and unfortunately return to (ABOVE) procedure number
305).
e) WITHOUT LOOKING AWAY, simultaneously watch the external meter AND the screen's [Monitor
Reference] data box for 13 FULL minutes. TWO (2) possible scenarios:
1) IF (and ONLY if) one OR both exceed 40.0° C even ONCE: This time adjusting [TEMP DAC]
to 10 lower than it already is, repeat parts c through e.
2) IF neither NEVER exceeds 40.0° C: See procedure number

T- 7.6.5 CALIBRATE SLOW FLOW TEMPERATURE

The external meter fluctuates SLOWLY, approximately +/- 0.4° C, between a maximum (high) and a
minimum (low). WITHOUT LOOKING AWAY, watch fifteen (15) consecutive minimum to maximum cycles.
TWO (2) possible scenarios:
1) IF (and ONLY if) the maximum is consistently between 36.9 and 37.1° C! See procedure number
T- 7.6.6 (page 313).
2) IF the maximum is NOT consistently between 36.9 and 37.1° C: See parts a THROUGH c below:
a) Activate [TEMP DAC], it turns bright yellow and adjust its value (+/- 2 = +/- 0.1° C).
b) 'Sharply' press 'CONFIRM' to return [TEMP DAC] to pale yellow / white. It must NOT turn gray until
the meter consistently fluctuates to a maximum of between 36.9 and 37.1° C.
c) Repeat procedure number T- 7.6.5 (page 312).
