What should I do if the TMP is Low (alarm at or below 60) on my Fresenius Medical Care Medical Equipment?
- T
  Timothy NelsonSep 13, 2025
  If the TMP is low (at or below 60), here’s what you should do: 1. Make sure the venous transducer protector is dry and the monitor line is open. Replace the protector if needed. 2. Inspect the dialyzer supply and return lines for any kinks. 3. Check the filter screen in the dialyzer return line to ensure it's clean. 4. Press the RESET key to reset the alarm. Press the Override key and hold for one second to select new alarm limits or adjust the TMP. If you still can't reset the alarm, return the blood to the patient if the alarm occurs during treatment. Then, take the machine out of service and contact a qualified service technician.

  If the actual dialysate temperature has exceeded the high-temperature alarm limit and the machine is in bypass mode: 1. Ensure that water is flowing to the machine when turned on. 2. 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 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.
