Figure 67 – Status Box and Dialogue Box during an Alarm Event
The Dialogue Box, found in the upper right corner of the display screens, can provide
information on the patient, prompt an action, or serve as a reminder. The Dialogue Box can
appear alone or supplement the message displayed in the Status Box during a Warning
condition. In some cases, Dialogue Boxes, if ignored for a prolonged period, can trigger a
Warning message in the Status Box. Although a Dialogue Box can appear during a Warning
or Alarm event, the messages displayed in each may represent two separate, unrelated issues.

Normal Status

The Status Box displays a green background under normal operation when no problems have
been detected. During dialysis operation, the Status box will display a message describing
the current mode of the machine—DIALYSIS. When a Dialogue Box message is not
displayed, the Dialogue Box displays the current time, patient blood pressure and pulse and
the time taken.

Warning Status

The Status Box background changes to yellow when a Warning condition exists. A Warning
condition, although potentially serious, does not pose an immediate threat to the patient.
Warning events do not stop the blood pump. The message displayed in the Status Box is
intended to alert the operator of a functional anomaly, a procedural error, or an existing
condition requiring remedial action. A warning may be accompanied by an audible alarm.
