Gambro AK 96, Operator'S Manual, Page: 64 / 509

The Basics
The Operator’s Panel of the AK 96 dialysis machine consists of; a time
display at the top of the panel, a Flow Diagram below this, function
buttons, a key pad (setting keys) and an Information Display. The
purpose of these components is to inform the operator of status and
parameter values and also to guide the operator through the various
procedures.
The time display shows if the function check is ongoing. It also shows
the time left for ongoing procedures.
The Flow Diagram is an essential part of the operators panel. It
shows status and fl ow direction of the dialysis fl uid. This is done by
illuminating and changing the colours of the fl uid path. The blood
path on the Flow Diagram lights up red when blood has been detected
in the venous blood line.
The buttons are either function buttons or setting keys . The function
buttons give access to a variety of functions and parameters. Some
function buttons only give access to one function. This applies when
direct access to a function is necessary. Other buttons give access to
several functions, each of which can be accessed by using the setting
keys concurrently with text guidelines on the Information Display.
The Information Display is placed at the bottom of the Operator’s
Panel. It continuously shows information about ongoing procedures,
alarms and activities. The keypad is placed immediately to the right of
the Information Display.
