About this manual...

The purpose of the 2008T Hemodialysis Machine Operator's Manual is to instruct qualified
patient-care staff in the function, operation, and maintenance of the 2008T hemodialysis
machine. It is not intended as a guide for performing hemodialysis, a medical treatment that
should only be performed under the supervision of a licensed physician.
This manual is organized to systematically guide a patient-care specialist through the set up,
operation, and clean up of the 2008T hemodialysis machine in daily use. The book begins
with an overview that introduces the operator to the major components and describes how
they are organized on the machine. Next, the operator is guided through a daily set-up
procedure. Once the machine has been prepared for daily use, a step-by-step guide to
preparing the machine for a patient-specific treatment is provided. The operator is then
provided a tour of the various treatment screen functions useful in monitoring the treatment,
followed by instruction in terminating treatment and post-treatment clean up. Also included
are sections on troubleshooting, maintenance, and treatment options.
