  If high pressure is detected in the venous drip chamber: 1. Check venous tubing for loose connections, kinks, clotting, or loose clamps. 2. Ensure that the transducer protector is dry and the monitor line is open. Replace the transducer protector, if necessary. 3. Check access point for clotting and needle position. 4. Press RESET to reset alarm. Press the RESET key again and hold for one second to select new alarm limits. If the condition persists, reduce the blood flow rate. If the alarm won’t reset, take the machine out of service and alert a qualified technician.

Check the water supply to the machine for excess temperature and correct if necessary. 3. If heat disinfection was recently performed, place the machine in rinse cycle to decrease temperature. 4. Check the Temperature value in the “Home” screen. Re-enter it if necessary and allow five minutes for the temperature to stabilize. 5. Check that the dialysate flow at drain line is 500 ml/min ± 50 ml.

What should I do if the Venous Pressure Alarm (upper limit flashing) goes off on my Fresenius Medical Care Medical Equipment?
- J
  Jeffery EnglishSep 9, 2025
  If the Venous Pressure Alarm is triggered with the upper limit flashing, it means high pressure was detected in the venous drip chamber. Here's what to check: 1. Look for loose connections, kinks, clots, or loose clamps in the venous tubing. 2. Ensure the transducer protector is dry and the monitor line is open; replace the protector if necessary. 3. Check the access point for clotting and needle position. 4. Press RESET to reset the alarm. Press the RESET key again and hold for one second to select new alarm limits. If the condition continues, try reducing the blood flow rate. If the alarm still won’t reset, return the blood to the patient if possible. Finally, take the machine out of service and contact a qualified technician.

What to do if the Arterial Pressure Alarm (upper limit flashing) is triggered on my Fresenius Medical Care Medical Equipment?
- D
  Diane FloresSep 9, 2025
  If you encounter an Arterial Pressure Alarm with the upper limit flashing, it indicates high pressure detected in the venous drip chamber. Here’s what you should do: 1. Inspect arterial and venous tubing for any kinks, clots, or clamps. 2. Make sure the transducer protector is dry and the monitor line is open; replace the protector if needed. 3. Check for clotted fibers in the dialyzer. 4. Verify the blood flow rate isn't too high, especially with a pre-pump monitor. 5. Press RESET to reset the alarm. If applicable, press RESET again and hold to select new alarm limits. If the alarm persists, return the blood to the patient if possible, but do not return clotted blood. Then, take the machine out of service and contact a qualified service technician.
