    REVA – Recirculation Valve – is used during disinfection and rinsing (water is circulating). HBVA – Heat exchanger Bypass Valve is used to help cool down the AK 98 dialysis machine faster after a heat disinfection program. Water is heated as it passes through the heating element in the heater. The flow switch in the inlet is used for overheat protection (no flow = heater off).
  • Page 70: The Temperature Control And Protective System

    The temperature drop from conductivity cell B to the dialyzer should be estimated by measuring the (stabilized) temperature in the fluid tubes with a Gambro reference instrument and comparing it to the conductivity cell B temperature reading in GXL. The default value for the estimated temperature drop is 0.2ºC.
