Alarm Text
Alarm Cause
Corrective Action
A 39
Maximum arterial
pressure (PA)
Arterial pressure too high
Ensure that:
The arterial access is free and properly
connected.
If necessary, increase the blood flow.
A 40
Minimum prefilter
pressure (PBE)
Prefilter pressure too low
Ensure that:
The venous access is free and properly
connected.
A 41
Maximum prefilter
pressure (PBE)
Prefilter pressure too high
Ensure that:
The venous access is free and properly
connected.
The venous line is not kinked or clamped.
A 42
Minimum venous
pressure (PV)
Venous pressure too low
Ensure that:
The arterial access is free and properly
connected.
The buffer line is not kinked or clamped.
A 43
Maximum venous
pressure (PV)
Venous pressure too high
Ensure that:
The venous access is free and properly
connected.
The venous line is not kinked or clamped.
A 44
Minimum plasma
pressure (PPL)
Plasma pressure too low,
plasma flow too high
Ensure that:
The blood flow/plasma flow ratio is
approximately 1:3.
The plasma filter is unobstructed and
functional. Replace the plasma filter if it is
obstructed (see 8.3.4).
If necessary, reduce the plasma flow.
A 45
Maximum plasma
pressure (PPL)
Plasma pressure too high
Defective PPL pressure
transducer
Defective pressure sensor
Check the plasma line and replace it if you
find a defect.
A 46
Low PPF. Check high
chamber level, protector
or buffer bag empty.
Precipitate filter pressure
too low
Ensure that:
The clamp on the buffer line is open.
The seal of the acetate buffer bag is open.
The acetate buffer bag is not empty.
The level in the PPF chamber is not high
and especially the PPF protector is not wet.
A 47
Maximum precipitate
filter pressure (PPF)
Precipitate filter pressure
too high
Defective level detector
Ensure that:
The lines after the precipitate chamber are
not kinked or clamped.
The pump segment of the reinfusion pump
is correctly inserted.
The precipitate filter is not saturated. If the
precipitate filter is saturated, a rise of the
PDPA occurs in parallel. Replace the filter in
this case (see 8.3.5).
The heparin adsorber is permeable. If this is
not the case, replace the heparin adsorber
(see 8.3.6).
The dialyzer is permeable. If this is not the
case, replace the dialyzer (see 8.3.7).
If necessary, reduce the plasma flow or the
reinfusion flow.
