Conductivity Alarm
Appears:
The dialysis fl uid conductivity is outside the set alarm
limits.
Machine actions:
- The dialysis fl uid is bypassed from the dialyzer.
- If the dialysis fl uid conductivity is below 9 mS/cm,
the UF rate will automatically be set to zero.
- When the dialysis fl uid conductivity is within the set
alarm limits again, the dialysis fl uid automatically
enters the dialyzer.
Possible cause:
- The concentrate container/BiCart cartridge is empty.
- Air is drawn into the machine instead of concentrate.
- Incorrect concentrate has been connected e.g. the
connected concentrate is not in accordance with the
selected concentrate alternative.
- There is an interruption in the concentrate
administration to the machine e.g. the concentrate
connector is not properly connected to the pick-up
tube, the BiCart cartridge is not properly attached
(see "Acidic concentrate and BiCart® cartridge" on
page 4:9 in part 1), the concentrate tube is kinked
or occluded, the fi lter integrated on the concentrate
tubes are clogged etc.
