How To Use this Manual
This Operator's Manual for the AK 96 dialysis machine is divided up
into three parts according to their contents. The reason for this is ease
of access for the operator of the machine. It is important to observe
that the parts should be considered as one document in spite of the
fact that it is printed in three separate parts. This means that things like
references and index extend over the complete manual. Furthermore,
note that all alarms and attention alarms are described in the third part,
the “Alarm Handbook”.
The fi rst part; “Base Manual for General Use” include instructions on
how to generally use and run the machine.
The second part; “Instructions for Measurement Functions” include
instructions on how to use the optional BPM (Blood Pressure Monitor)
and Diascan function.
The third part; “Alarm Handbook” include all alarms and attention
alarms originating from all functions of the machine.
The fi rst part is printed in A 4 format, the second and third in A 5.
The parts are put in a box which should be considered as cover of the
complete manual. Conseqently, when the manual needs to be changed
to a more recent version due to updating of the machine program
version, the complete manual (all three parts) needs to be changed at
the same time.
How to find what you are looking for
To be able to fi nd what you are looking for in this manual, fi rst read the
brief explanation of how the chapters are structured and intended to be
used further on in this section. Then use the table of contents either
at the beginning of the complete manual or at the beginning of each
chapter. There is also an index included last in each part extending
over all three parts of the manual.
References to pages within the manual are shown with two fi gures,
divided by a colon. The fi rst fi gure is the chapter number and the
second is the page number. For example; page 4:10 would be chapter
4, page 10. The fi rst page in all three parts is the same, i.e. an overview
of which chapter numbers are included in which part.
A small reference number beside the fi gures within the manual has
been added to simplify manual production.
On the following pages is a brief explanation of how the parts and
chapters in this manual are structured and are intended to be used.
