Central Delivery System. It may be necessary to use pressure regulators in order to reach proper conductivity. Caution: Only the bags manufactured by Fresenius Medical Care North America may be used in the bibag connector. Note: When the bibag connector is installed, the online pressure holding test becomes mandatory.
Note: The Diasafe Plus filter is required when the bibag system is in use. Note: Pressing the Mute key will silence an alarm for two minutes. The following alarms are muted for an additional four minutes (for a total of six minutes) when using the bibag system: •...
bibag System Details The bibag system is a hardware option that allows the usage of a dry bicarbonate powder to generate dialysate solution for the 2008T hemodialysis machine. The bibag disposable is a bag filled with dry bicarbonate powder with special inlet and outlet ports.
Using the bibag system for a dialysis treatment Begin with typical treatment setup (as explained in Chapter 2, “Preparing the Dialysate Delivery System” of the 2008T Hemodialysis Machine Operator’s Manual P/N 490122). If the treatment is just beginning, use the instructions below before entering Dialysis mode from the “Select Program”...
Emptying a bibag disposable at the end of treatment Note: The Empty bibag feature cannot be used when blood is sensed or the Tx Clock is running. The Empty bibag button is also unavailable during a “bibag: Bag Leak” alarm. Note: The bibag disposable may also be emptied manually;...
Using the blue bicarbonate connector Machines with the bibag connector may still be used for liquid bicarbonate-based dialysis when the bibag disposable is not in use. To switch to liquid bicarbonate- based dialysis: 1. Make sure that the bibag door is closed without a bag on the bibag connector. 2.
Troubleshooting All status messages (operational alarms, warnings, dialogues, and advisories) are displayed on the control panel screen. These messages are generated due to conditions and events that occur in the machine during operation. These messages will reset when the condition causing the message is corrected. In some cases, the operator must reset them.
