Dialysate Flow rate: 300 – 800 ml/min
# of Tests: 1 – 6 during each treatment
Minimum Qa: Will not determine the Qa if less than the
blood pump speed.
Maximum Qa: 2000 ml/min
A means for temporarily increasing the sodium
concentration at the beginning of dialysis for patient
comfort.
Three preset profiles (step, linear, and exponential) for
increasing, then decreasing the sodium concentration in
dialysate.
A means of temperature control for the patient and for
evaluating adequacy of access flow by measuring
temperature changes in the arterial and venous lines
after temporary excursions in the dialysate temperature.
A module that measures the relative blood volume
(hematocrit) as a means of determining if the fluid
refilling rate from the body to the blood is insufficient to
support the selected ultrafiltration rate. A fast rate of
decrease or steeper slope in the blood volume trend
graph may signal an upcoming hypotensive event.
A means of filtering the dialysate to reduce
bacteriological and endotoxin exposure
Allows the user to program the 2008K hemodialysis
machine to automatically run a heat disinfection program
according to a schedule.
The operating screens may be set to either French
(Canadian), Spanish (Mexico), or English (USA)
Measures systolic, diastolic pressures, and heart rate
(pulse rate) using oscillometric method. MAP measured.
Interactive computer controlled. Determination for adults
requires approximately 25-30 seconds depending on
starting point, heart rate and motion artifact.
Typically 5 - 10 seconds from 0-250 mmHg.
Interval times: 5 - 60 minutes in increments of 5 minutes
Clock Time: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes
