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).
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.

NOTE! Refer to the AK 98 operator's manual for detailed information about disinfection of the machine. 3.3.3.4 Conductivity control 3.3.3.4.1 Mixing The heated water passes through the concentrate pick-up tube connectors. If a concentrate connector is pulled out, the connector will seal and there will be a suction from the respective feeding pump to the tube’s stick.

±10% for the A-pump, and ±20% for the B-pump by default. If these limits are exceeded there will be a pump speed alarm or attention. Refer to the AK 98 operator's manual for more information. The relative pump speed – the deviation between the actual and calculated speed, in percent, can be logged, of course, and should ideally be zero.
(default 15%) between the two pumps. Refer to the operator's manual for the AK 98 dialysis machine for more information. The value that triggers the alarm or attention can be logged as FI_PumpSpeedRatio. The value may vary between 850 and 1150 (default). The limits can be preset as a % (default 15%) pump speed deviation.
The default preset value is -610 mmHg, but can be preset to other values (-300 to -700 mmHg in 5 mmHg steps) in case the AK 98 dialysis machine is operated at other altitudes than sea level.
(-300 to -700 mmHg in 5 mmHg steps) in case the AK 98 dialysis machine is operated at other altitudes than sea level. See the relation between pressure and altitude in Table 3-2 “Degassing pressure as function of...
3.3.3.5.4 Adjustable dialysis fluid flow The fluid flow in the AK 98 dialysis machine can be adjusted between 300 mL/min to 700 mL/min in 20 mL/min steps. The control is done with an adjustable valve (DRVA) driven by a stepper motor with an aspheric axis connected in parallel with a 200 mL/min restrictor.
P venous = +120 mmHg, P dialysis = -300 mmHg TMP = +120 -(-300) = +420 mmHg TMP is only shown as information. The UF protective system is used as supervision of the UF control system. HCEN12630 Revision 07.2015 AK 98™ Dialysis Machine - Technical description Program version 1.xx...
The fluid level in the chamber is monitored by a ring-shaped floater, containing a magnet which activates a reed relay if the level drops below approx. 15 mm. The HCEN12630 Revision 07.2015 AK 98™ Dialysis Machine - Technical description Program version 1.xx...
UF cell self-calibration. It will be described later in this document. 3.3.3.6.6 UF control The UF rate is controlled by the Suction pump. The AK 98 dialysis machine has one “machine” treatment mode only: “Volume control”. In this mode the operator is required to set two parameters: ●...
The process is called taration or self-calibration. It works as follows: The self-calibration is divided in following three phases: Prepare Taration phase Zero Flow phase Differential Flow phase HCEN12630 Revision 07.2015 AK 98™ Dialysis Machine - Technical description Program version 1.xx...

ZEVA now closes. The Taration Valve (TAVA) is closed and BYVA opens. The channels are now placed in series, which means that the flow in channel 2 is the same as the flow in channel 1. HCEN12630 Revision 07.2015 AK 98™ Dialysis Machine - Technical description Program version 1.xx...
The protective subsystem calculates its UF volume by integrating the UF rate over time. The protective subsystem supervises the calculated UF volume against the expected UF volume, which also is calculated from the treatment parameters. HCEN12630 Revision 07.2015 AK 98™ Dialysis Machine - Technical description Program version 1.xx...
Due to the location of the UF measurment cells for the UF protective measurement there is no zero flow phase, instead the differential flow phase is prolonged. HCEN12630 Revision 07.2015 AK 98™ Dialysis Machine - Technical description Program version 1.xx...

The blood pump cannot be run when the pump cover is open. If necessary, the blood can be returned to the patient manually. The blood passes the dialyzer under controlled ultrafiltration. Refer to the AK 98 operator's manual for more information about the treatment conditions and operating instructions.
When blood is detected for more than 20 seconds, the control system and the protective system disconnect the priming detector function and keep the AK 98 dialysis machine in blood mode until the end of the treatment, i.e. when Time = 0:00 is confirmed.
3.4.3.4 Single needle treatment When the AK 98 dialysis machine is used for single needle treatment, the arterial and venous phases are pressure-controlled. Arterial blood is removed from the patient when the arterial line clamp is open, and the venous line clamp is closed.

Arterial pressure transducer The AK 98 dialysis machine is equipped with a second pressure transducer named Arterial Pressure Transducer. This pressure will be displayed on the arterial bargraph. The transducer is used for the measurement of true arterial pressure. The pressure transducer is mounted on a pressure transducer board, which interfaces directly with the Front I/O board via a board connector.

* *(only performed in Bicarbonate mode) After the approval of the test, the AK 98 dialysis machine will wait for the conductivity to drop below 2mS/cm. This will trigger the start of BiCart cartridge priming. When the BiCart cartridge priming is finished, the machine starts to regulate the conductivity to the set value.
Opening AIVA will pull air into the flow path. After a while it will end up in the deaerating chamber, creating a low level alarm in the deaerating chamber HCEN12630 Revision 07.2015 AK 98™ Dialysis Machine - Functional check Program version 1.xx...
