Optional bibag System

The bibag connector is part of the bibag system. It is a hardware option that allows use of a
dry bicarbonate powder to make dialysate solution for the 2008T hemodialysis machine. The
bicarbonate powder is contained in a bag called the bibag disposable. The machine adds
purified (RO) water to the bag and pumps out the liquid bicarbonate concentrate to mix with
the acid concentrate and more RO water.
Note: The "45x" concentrate family must be selected in order to use the bibag system.
When a 45x type concentrate is selected with the bibag module installed, the machine will
automatically detect whether or not a bibag disposable is connected upon entering Dialysis
Mode.

PURPOSE
The concentrate connectors draw in acid and bicarbonate
concentrates. The concentrate connectors pull out and connect to
jugs of acid and bicarbonate concentrates or a concentrate central
feed. When connecting, make certain to correctly match red to acid
and blue to bicarbonate concentrates.
The connector cap snaps onto the top of concentrate jugs. The Acid
and Bicarbonate connectors connect to the cap so the machine can
pull concentrate from the jugs.
The Fluid Sample Port allows testing of the UF pump.
