  If you're getting an 'Air bubble alarm' on your Fresenius Kabi Medical Equipment, it could be due to a few reasons. First, the air volume detected might be higher than the programmed limit, so try priming the line to remove any air. Another cause might be that the set isn't properly inserted in the air detector; in this case, check the set installation on the air detector. You may also need to verify the air adjustment of the air size programmed or replace the air detector air bubble board.

  If your Fresenius Kabi Medical Equipment displays an 'OCS test Alarm', it means the occlusivity test was not successful. This could be because the pumping mechanism isn't increasing the pressure in the IV set during the test. To resolve this, check the set installation. Also, inspect the door and perform calibration if necessary. Ensure the membrane is in good condition, and replace it if needed, referring to the maintenance protocol for the PM test.

  If you're experiencing a 'Door open alarm' with your Fresenius Kabi Medical Equipment, it could be because the Hall effect sensor detects that the door is open. To fix this, check the set installation. Also, check for the presence of the door magnet, calibrate the door sensor, or consider replacing the door sensor.
