Modules - Fresenius Medical Care 2008K Operator's Manual

Modules

The modules accompanying the 2008K hemodialysis machine are located just below the
control panel. The Arterial Drip Chamber, Blood Pump, Heparin Pump, and Level Detector
modules contribute to the task of transmitting the blood from the patient, through the dialyzer
and back to the patient. The red lines on the modules are guides for the arterial bloodline
(from patient to the dialyzer). The blue lines are guides for the venous bloodline (from
dialyzer to patient).
Any machine can be set up for a pre-pump or post-pump arterial chamber, or single-needle
dialysis (requiring two blood pumps) by adding modules, or rearranging their order.
The preferred arrangements, shown in Figure 21 and Figure 22 on page 46, can help to
simplify the routing of the blood tubing and minimize the possibility of kinking the bloodline.
Additionally, the internal blood pressure module is explained on page 36.
The Arterial Drip Chamber Module
The arterial drip chamber module is a panel with guides for blood tubing and a holder for the
arterial drip chamber. The button used to raise the arterial drip chamber level is located on
the Blood Pump module.
