Chapter 1—Overview
The shunt door flips up to reveal color-coded quick-connectors. Push quick-connectors onto
the shunt interlock and the dialyzer ports to snap them in place. After making a connection,
pull on the connector to make sure it fits tightly. When disconnecting: slide the metal collar
back on the quick-connector to release the connection (see Figure 15 below).
Figure 15 – Removing Dialyzer Quick-Connectors
The dialyzer connectors attach to the dialyzer during dialysis or the shunt interlock during
rinse programs. Make certain to correctly match red to red and blue to blue.
The blue dialyzer supply line features a dialysate flow indicator tube. A moving float in the
tube allows the operator to see when dialysate is running through the lines and the dialyzer.
The float does not move when the machine is in bypass mode. Lifting the shunt door will
manually put the machine in bypass mode.
Dialyzer
The 2008K hemodialysis machine is compatible with commercially available dialyzers that
are equipped with standard dialysate connections (ISO 8637).
