Disinfection and Maintenance

This chapter covers all cleaning, disinfection, and maintenance tasks that can be performed
by the operator. Included are instructions for running the programs found on the "Select
Program" screen designed to clean and disinfect the fluid paths found in the 2008T
hemodialysis machine.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Daily cleaning, chemical, and heat disinfection procedures should be performed to maximize
the efficiency and minimize bacterial levels within the system. All rinsing, cleaning, and
disinfection programs are selected from the right side of the "Select Program" screen (see
Figure 60 below). The "Select Program" screen appears automatically after a long power
down or when the concentrate wands are inserted in their proper rinse ports after a treatment.
The machine must be connected to an approved water source, the drain line connected to a
drain, the dialysate supply lines on the shunt with the shunt interlock door closed, and the
concentrate connectors are firmly seated in their respective ports. To run any of the
Cleansing and Disinfection programs, select the appropriate button.
