The Dialysate Screen - Fresenius Medical Care 2008T Operator's Manual

3. Insert the acid concentrate (red) connector into a centralized acid supply or a jug
containing sufficient acid concentrate for an entire treatment. If acetate concentrate is
being used, insert the red connector into the acetate supply.
Caution: Be sure the jug contains enough concentrate for the entire treatment. If the jug
runs out during treatment, a condition known as "air lock" may occur, causing conductivity
problems.
4. If the machine is being prepared for normal dialysis, select the Dialysis button on the
display screen by highlighting the button with the Touchpad and either tapping or
pressing the CONFIRM key. The "Dialysate" screen will appear on the monitor (see
Figure 21). (The optional Touchscreen can be used by touching the Dialysis button
directly.)
5. Verify that the concentrate type, displayed near the top of the screen, correctly matches
the prescribed concentrate type, and that the acid/bicarbonate or acetate concentrates
connected to the machine match the type selected. If an incorrect concentrate type is
displayed, the correct concentrate must be entered. To change the concentrate selection,
see "Setting an Acid/Bicarbonate Type" on page 69.
Note: The machine will not allow usage of the bibag disposable unless the 45x concentrate
family is selected in Service Mode.
