Maintenance - the Exterior
The Exterior Surfaces
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the machine with a cloth moistened with
ethanol (70 %) or isopropanol (60 %) in order to clean and disinfect it.
Note
•
Do not use tenside-containing or iodine-based disinfectants.
These solutions may crack or discolour most polymers.
Note
Top Tray
The top tray may be cleaned and disinfected with ethanol (70 %) or
isopropanol (60 %).
CAUTION
In order to protect the internal parts of the AK 96 dialysis machine
against spillage, the top tray must always be placed on top of the
machine, except during technical service.
CAUTION
Pick-up Tubes
In order to dissolve salts and the remains of concentrates; rinse the
outside and fl ush the inside of the pick-up tubes with water. This is
to be done daily when they are being used. Let the pick-up tube dry
naturally (do not wipe dry).
Disinfection of the pick-up tubes is recommended every to every other
week. Wipe the outside with 70% ethanol. Flush the inside with 70%
ethanol. Let the pick-up tube dry naturally (do not wipe dry).
Blood Pump
To remove the blood pump rotor; pull out the handle. Turn until the
blood pump rotor loosens from the pump shaft. The blood pump rotor
can be cleaned and disinfected in ethanol (70%) or isopropanol (60%).
To attach the blood pump rotor; place it on the pump shaft. Move your
fi ngers from the handle and place them on the rotor. Turn the rotor
slowly and push slightly until it reaches the bottom position. Continue
turning until the blood pump handle clicks in.
Blood Leak Detector
The blood leak detector should only be cleaned when a suspected false
blood leak alarm has occurred and not as a preventive action. The risk
of contaminating the blood leak detector and consequently the fl uid
path of the machine is large when opening it.
