Incorrect Dialysate
Composition
Check set values
and connected
concentrates.

Check that the acid jug container is filled or that the wall connection is secure.

Press the fluid key and go to the Cond tab; if the “Actual” conductivity doesn’t
reach its set value, the machine may be unable to pull concentrates.

Verify that the red concentrate connector is free from build-up and that the blue
O-rings are intact.

If needed, remove BiCart cartridge and shake to eliminate any clumping.

If the” Actual” conductivity number is not fluctuating after a few minutes, send the
machine into a Rinse by selecting the Disinfect key, going to the Rinse tab,
and selecting “Rinse” – reconnect the concentrates and monitor the conductivity.

If air is present in the acid line, wait – the air may need to be cleared from the acid line
by the machine. The machine will not airlock.

566
Conductivity
Out of Limits
When the dialysate
conductivity is outside
the set alarm limit.
Incorrect Conductivity
When the conductivity
is not correct during a
functional check.

Check that the concentrate containers/BiCart cartridge are correctly connected, filled
and not empty.

Check that there is not air or kinking in the concentrate wand and that wands are not
sucking air.

Check that the BiCart cartridge has primed if the cartridge was dry when added to the
machine – if not, consider removing, shaking to eliminate clumping, and reattaching to
the arms.

Reminder, when priming a BiCart cartridge during therapy, the BiCart arms must be
closed for 2 seconds to initiate the priming process.

Check acid connector and BiCart arms for buildup and/or leaking.

Press fluid button and select Cond tab and see if the concentrate selected for the
treatment is the same as the acid jug connected to the machine.

Wait until set conductivity is achieved.
607
Wrong Disinfectant
Check disinfectant.
To continue press
Confirm.

Check that the correct concentration of disinfectant is connected to the machine –
citric acid or bleach percentages.

Verify that the citric acid wand is below the level of the fluid in the jug.

If precipitate is found at the bottom of the citric acid jug, consider removing the wand
and mixing the jug.

Consider that crystallization of the citric acid wand may have occurred, and the line
may have to be purged with RO water.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when reconstituting citric acid.

Dialysate Line
Sensor Test
Remove and attach the
dialysate lines from
the dialysate ports to
restart the test.

May occur if five disinfection programs have been run in a row, without running function
checks in between.

Remove the dialysate lines from the dialysate ports on the machine.

Ensure the lines are reseated properly.

Once reseated, the test will continue and message on screen will clear shortly.
571
Leakage Test Failed
Check dialysate lines.
To continue press
Confirm.

Appears when the dialysate lines are not properly attached to the dialysate ports.

Check the dialysate lines are properly attached to the dialysate ports.

Confirm the attention.
