The control valve RVE, pressure sensor PE, degassing chamber EK and degassing
pump EP produce and measure a negative pressure respectively. The negative
pressure is produced to separate the dissolved gas from the water.
The control valve RVE reduces the flow (throttle principle) depending on the
measured pressure at the pressure sensor PE. Thereby the desired negative
pressure is gained between the control valve RVE and the degassing pump EP.
The value of the negative pressure is approx. -500 mmHg and thus always
higher than the lower pressure of the dialysate behind the dialyser. The
degassing pump works with constant speed, which is determined by the
dialysate, unless the negative pressure is insufficient at the smallest opening of
RVE. Then the speed of EP is increased.
The heater H has an integrated thermal fuse TSH as a thermal cut-off. The
temperature sensor TSE measures the actual temperature posterior to the
heater.

heater must supply, to replace the amount of heat (dialysate flow and dialysate
temperature) withdrawn by the drainage.
The differential temperature between the heater inlet (TSHE) and the heater
outlet (TSE) determines the controlled variable for the heater, depending on the
dialysate flow and dialysate temperature.
The dialysate processing has the following components:
The main components of the dialysate preparation are the bicarbonate

concentrate pump BICP and the concentrate pump KP, with the conductivity
cells BICLF and ENDLF and a flow pump FPE. The flow pump FPE delivers the
dialysate. The bicarbonate concentrate, which is added via the bicarbonate
pump BICP, is measured by the conductivity measurement cell BICLF. Thereby
the pump can control the given conductivity set-point value.

The concentrate or acid concentrate addition has the same working principle.
The nonreturn valves RVB and RVK stablise the dosage of the bicarbonate and
concentrate.
The temperature sensors TSBIC and TSD are responsible for:
the temperature compensation of the conductivity measurement and
•
temperature measurement TSD after the addition of cold concentrate
•
(second measurement sensor for temperature system) and thus
compensation of temperature loss.
The conductivity sensor ENDLFS is an independent monitoring unit (supervisor).
The geometry of the ENDLFS sensor is different (but has the same cell constant)
than the ENDLF sensor of the controller. Thereby a deposit on the sensor can be
identified. The temperature compensation is carried out by the temperature
sensor TSDS. The temperature sensor additionally monitors the dialysate flow
temperature for the supervisor. The ENDLFS and TSDS sensors have no influence
on the respective control.
The throttle RVFPE prevents a high pressure build-up and thus a bursting of
tubing if the flow path is blocked behind FPE. If the set pressure is reached
RVFPE is opened and the fluid can circulate.
A canister or central supply can be selected via the bicarbonate and
concentrate supply connetion BVA and KVA. The supply connection is an option.
The flow pump FPE guarantees a continuous control of the desired dialysate
flow into the balance chambers.
The flow rate is determined by the filling time of the balance chamber. The flow
pump FPE is controlled via the predetermined volume of the chamber and a
continuous detection of the position of the membrane.

The measurement and control of the ultrafiltration rate is accomplished by the
double balance chamber system and the ultrafiltration pump UFP.
Both balance chambers BK1 and BK2 are identical. The chambers have flexible
membranes, which can be moved to both sides. The membranes devide the
chambers into two sub-compartments. The flow direction is defined by the
membranes and the eight solenoid valves. The position of the membranes is
measured by inductive membrane position sensors MSBK1 and MSBK2. The
membrane position sensors (ferrites) are connected to the membranes and each
move in a respective coil MSBK1 and MSBK2.
The balance chamber BK1 is filled with dialysate at the beginning of phase 1.
The membrane is in right position. The valves VDEBK1 and VDABK1 are opened.
The balance chamber BK1 is filled by the outlet flow pump FPA, via valve
VDABK1. Simultaneously the dialysate is removed from the balance chamber
BK1 via valve VDEBK1. Phase 1 is completed and the membrane is in left
position (see figure).

The balance chamber BK2 is filled with fresh dialysate during this period. The
used dialysate from the previous phase 2 is drained (see description phase 2).
Phase 2: After phase 1 is completed there is an automatic switch to the filled balance
chamber BK2 to obt ain a constant flow in the dialyse r. The complete cylce is
repeated in phase 2, i.e. valves VDEBK2 and VDABK2 are opened. The balance
chamber BK2 is filled via valve VDABK2. Simultaneously the dialysate is drained
from the balance chamber BK2 via valve VDEBK2. Phase 2 is completed and the
menbrane is in left position (see figure).
Simultaneously the balance chamber BK1 is filled with fresh dialysate.
Therefore valve VEBK1 is opened. Valve VABK1 is also opened, to initiate the
flow path for the used dialysate to the drain. The membrane moves to the right
position.
The outlet fluid volume is equal to the returned fluid volume, due to the closed
balance chamber system
The fluid volume removed from the closed system via the ultrafiltration pump
UFP is replaced from the blood in the dialyser and equals the precise
ultrafiltration volume.
The system is initialised in preparation, i.e. the membrane sensors are
automatically calibrated and the speed of the flow pumps FPE and FPA are
determined. Thus a synchronisation of the membranes is guaranteed, and the
pump speeds for the desired flow are determined.
The main flow path and bypass have the following components:

The flow path for the main flow and bypass are determined by the valves VDE,
VDA and VBP. The built up flow from the flow pump FPA is stabilised by the
throttle DDE. Valves VDE and VBP are closed for sequential therapy
(ultrafiltration without dialysate flu id flow). The ultrafiltrate removal is carried
out by the ultrafiltration pump UFP.
Further components are:
Red sensitive blood leak detector BL
•
Pressure sensor PDA which monitors the dialysate pressure (also used to
•
calculate TMP)
Air separator LA with built in level sensors LAFS and air separator valve VLA
•
Throttle RVDA functions as a resistance to stabilise the flow of FPE
•
The throttle RVFPE prevents a high pressure build-up and thus a bursting of
tubing if the flow path is blocked behind FPE. If the set pressure is reached
RVFPE is opened and the fluid can circulate.
The fluid level is lowered in the air separator LA, due to air bubbles from the
dialyser (degassing or possible leakages). The air separator valve VLA is opened
if the fluid level is lower than the bottom level sensor. The fluid level is
increased, due to the negative pressure for the degassing range, until the level
reaches the upper level sensor of the air separator LA.
2.16.9Disinfection and Cleaning Program
The user can select a disinfection or cleaning program. The position of the
couplings are checked by the sensors BICSS, KSS, SBS1 and SBS2. Then the UF
pump UFP starts running and builds up a negative pressure against the closed
disinfection valve VD. At approx. -200 mmHg VD opens and disinfectant is
sucked in by the UFP.
The circulation va lve VZ is open and fluid fl ow s i nto the upl i ne ta nk VB, because
the throttle RVDA acts as a forward resistance. Thereby a quicker heat-up in the
hot cleaning program is achieved and thus a reduction of disinfectant. There is
no flow of fluid to the drain during suction, heat-up and circulation.

Principles of Air Monitoring
The monitoring of air is performed by ultrasonic transmitting between two
piezo elements. The piezo elements work as trasmitter and receiver. The
transmitter piezo element transmits pulses. These pulses are transmitted
through the tubing, which is filled with blood (air), to the receiver piezo
element. The filled tubing is the transmitting path.

SAD Function
If the tubing is filled with blood the transmitting signal is only slightly
attenuated (so-called coupling resistance). If the tubing is filled with air the
transmitting signal is attenuated very strongly.
The received amplitude is evaluated. Thus the condition (attenuation) of the
transmitting path can be derived.
This received amplitude is compared with an alarm threshold:
Blood in tubing (no attenuation):
Amplitude of receiver signal > alarm threshold.
•
Air in tubing (large attenuation):
Amplitude of receiver signal < alarm threshold.
•
If air is in the tubing the alarm threshold is not reached and the SAD indicates
air in system.
The ultrasonic transmitting pulse is triggered cyclically. The transmitting pulse
is variably attenuated, depending on the air concentration in the tubing. The
received voltage amplitu de is compare d with an alarm thres hold. If t he voltage
drops below the alarm threshold the SAD and SAD_S signals of the flip-flops
are set.
The SAD signal is checked cyclically by the low level controller LLC and then
reset by the SADRESET signal. Simultaneously the low level supervisor LLS
checks cyclically the SAD_S signal and is then reset by the SADRESET_S signal.
The LLC checks cyclically the function of the SAD during operation by switching
from the alarm threshold to the test threshold. LLC and LLS expect an air signal
after the activation of the test threshold.
An air signal is present at the flip-flop SAD_S, due to the cyclic test, until the
SADRESET_S sig nal resets the ai r signal. The LLS monitors cyclically if at least
air was detected once in 1.5 s. If air was not detected an SAD alarm is
activated.
The test threshold and alarm threshold for the SAD are calibrated in the TSM
service program. In dialysis the test threshold is cyclically checked to guarantee
that the sensitivity of the SAD has not been reduced compared to calibration.
Thus a reduction of sensitivity is detected caused by operation and ageing. The
alarm threshold is cyclically measured (250 ms) by the LLS during therapy and
compared with the fixed alarm threshold. The calibration threshold is the
maximum sensitivity which can be reached. An individual calibration value is
set in the TSM service program for the calibration ex works.
In the control logic the signals are linked for programming the shift register
and to generate the process control for the SAD. Additionally the transmitter
pulses are triggered and the receiver window is closed or opened.
A quartz oscillator with a divider generates the necessary clock signals.
The tramsmitter piezo element oscillates via an induction voltage (piezo effect)
and transmits ultrasonic waves.
The transmitted pulses from the transmitter are converted into a voltage in th e
receiver piezo element (piezo effect). The receiver voltage is fed to the
comparator input.
The shift registers are selected by the SADSEL signal to enable data loading. The
USDI signal is loaded into the shift register by the clock pulse signal USCLK. The
outputs of the shift registers are fed to the low-passes.

The output of the shift register 1 controls the control input of the multiplexer.
A pulse width modulated voltage PWM is present at the output of the shift

This voltage is the alarm threshold for the comparator.
The output of the shift register 2 controls the control input of the multiplexer.
A pulse width modulated voltage PWM is present at the output of the shift

receiver voltage is smaller than the alarm threshold if the transmitter signal is
attenuated, due to air in the tubing. Together with the function of the receiver
window the output signal of the comparator (to the flip-flop) becomes logic 1.
The receiver signal is larger than the alarm threshold if blood is in the tubing.
The output signal of the comparator (to the flip-flop) becomes logic 0.
The SD signal is fed to the flip-flop and sent to the LLC as SAD signal. The SAD
signal is checked cyclically by the LLC. The LLC resets the flip-flop via the
SADRESET signal. If air is detected at any time during a cycle the SAD out put
changes to logic 0. Thereby the LLC evaluates the complete last cycle as air.
The SD signal is fed to the flip-flop and sent to the LLS as SAD_S signal. The
SAD_S signal is checked cyclically by the LLS. The LLS resets the flip-flop via the
SADRESET_S signal. If air is detected at any time during a cycle the SAD_S
output change s to logic 0. Th ereby the LL S evluates the com plete last cycle as
air.
The voltage of the low-pass 2 is switched cyclically to the comparator outpu t
by the USTEST signal. Thus the comparator, the coupling and the dynamic of
the circuit is checked. The alarm threshold and the test threshold (voltage of
low-pass 2) is switched by the multiplexer.

SADREF Signal
TIMECONTR Signal
2.33.4Description Venous Red
Detector RDV
Assignment and Function Red Detector
The amplifier is a differential amplifier with follow-up impedance. The
difference between the voltage at the comparator input and the voltage at the
voltage divider is amplified. LLS ckecks cycliccally (250 ms) the alarm threshold
with the calibrated alarm threshold during therapy. If the value is out of limits
a reference alarm is activated.
The quartz oscillator monitors the SAD sampling frequency. If the control logic
and quartz oscillator work correctly the divider is reset by the SADX signal.
The counter output becomes logic 1 if the SADX signal is n ot present or the
time between two reset pulses is too long. Thereby a drop below the SAD
sampling frequency is reported to the LLS. The TIMECONTR signal becomes logic
1 and inhibits the CLK input of the counter. Thereby an overflow of the counter
and a removal of the TIMECONTR alarm is prevented.
Furthermore the SADRESET signal of the LLC is monitored. If the SADRESET
signal becomes logic 0, due to an error, the SADX signal cannot reset the
counter. This leads to a TIMECONTR alarm.
The venous red detector RDV detects blood with a certain concentration. The
RDV assists the user during the connection of the venous line to the patient
and after therapy during disconnection with sodium chloride bags. The
amplified RDV signal is processed on the supervisor board and sent to the TLC
via the DIABUS.
Principle of Venous Red Detector RDV
RDV Signal
The RDV consists of a transmitter (green LED) and a r ec eiver (phototransistor). A
tubing is between transmitter and receiver. Blood, colourless turbid fluid or air
can be in the tubing. The RDV generates a signal to detect red fluid or
colourless fluid.
The function principle of the RDV is based on the fact that blood absorbes all
colours with the exception of red. The green light is attenuated if blood enters
the RDV. Blood or colourless fluid can be distinguished with the phototransistor
and the comparator.
The receiver signal of the phototransistor is amplified. The RDV signal is fed to
the supervisor board SB for further signal processing. The signal is fed to the
low level controller LLC which provides the signal to the top level controller
TLC.
The drive and evaluation circuit is mounted on the sensor head. The amplified

signal of the receiver is fed to the supervisor board. The blood leak detector
works with red and green light. The transmitter LEDs are mounted opposite to
the receiver diodes (transmitted light). The drive and evaluation is carried out
by the controller. The actual value is also fed to the supervisor.
The drive of the LEDs is performed alternately by the BLPWM signal. The red
LED is used to level any turbidity.
For calibration the red and green LED are driven by the BLRG signal, until both
have identical output voltage. If a turbidity occurs, both drive signals are
increased. If the dialysate is stained by blood only the green LED signal is
attenuated. The output signal is reduced and blood is thereby detected.

The 32 bit data bus is connected unbuffered to all memories and is shielded
against the remaining peripheral by drive components. The data bus is
terminated by special terminator components. Thereby the signals are
terminated and in case of a tristate condition the last level is held.
The 24 bit address bus is buffered by drive components and is terminated by
diodes, to prevent reflections. All control and clock lines that are connected to
several consumers are terminated by RC elements.
The clock generation for the microprocessor and control logic is generated from
a 50 MHz oscillator. A D flip-flop generates two opposite phase clock signals of
25 MHz. Thereby the necessary phase accuracy and rise times for the
microprocessor is achieved. For peripheral components a 4 MHz and a 2 MHz
are generated by a second 8 MHz oscillator. All clock lines are terminated.
The control logic is responsible for decoding and access control. All signals
required for decoding are unbuffered and come direct ly from t he CPU and from
an other microprocesso r. The access cont rol implements wait cycles de pending
on the addressed component.
The memory has four flash EPROMs and four static RAMs. The memories are
connected parallel to the data bus. Both memory work with a 32 bit data bus.
Eight parallel ports are available as CIO components (counter/timer/parallel
inputs and outputs). The CIO components have the following parts:
The ports can be operated in different modes.
A SCC component (serial communication controller) is available for serial
communication. The two channel controller can handle asynchronous and
synchronous protocols.

this port.

magnetic rotors are detected with the hall sensors. The three phase motionless

The signal is fed to the motor controller via a passive and active low-pass filter.
The BPAIST_US signal is generated by a NOT element from the speed dependent
output signal of the motor adapter.
The EC motor can be stopped by the BPASTOP signal or by opening the pump
cover. If the BPASTOP signal has logic 1, the EC motor is stopped.
A permanent magnet is integrated in the pump cover. If the pump cover is
closed a reed contact is closed. This signal is linked with the BPASTOP signal

The supervisor monitors the rotation of the arterial blood pump BPA via a slot

The set-point value for the speed of the EC motor is available as a pulse width
modulated (PWM) BPA signal. The BPA signal is converted to an analogue

Drive circuits are on the power board 2 for the following actuators:
15 2 way solenoid valves
•
one proportional control valve
•
one tubing clamp
•
three bipolar stepper motors
•
The 2 way valves are used e.g.:
To control the inlet/outlet of the balance chambers
•
To switch the dialysate flow between main and by-pass
•
The proportional valve controls the degassing pressure
The stepper motors are used for:
Concentrate pump
•
Ultrafiltration pump
•
The drives are controlled by logic signals from the supervisor and controller
board.
Each valve has a current limitation (mono-flop) integrated in the driver. The
current limitation can be activated/deactivated by the VS signal. The valve
current is determined indirectly via a voltage drop over a measurement resistor.
The measurement resistor is in series with the valve coils. The voltage is
compared with a reference voltage at a comparator. If the valve current reaches
a limit value the output signal of the comparator switches and triggers a
mono-flop. The current is cut-off for a short time, thus preventing an over load
of the valves.
Driver 2 Way Valve VVBE
Driver Proportional Valve
Driver Tubing Clamp
Driver Stepper Motor
The driver for the upline tank inlet valve VVBE has an additional watchdog. The
watchdog is triggered by a negative edge pulse of the VS signal. If the signal is
not switched the valve closes after approx. 1.5 s. Thus an over flow of the
upline tank is prevented.
The proportional valve is driven by a pulse width signal. The current in the valve
coil is controlled. The design of the current limitation is identical with the 2
way valve.
The SAKV and SAKVS signals for the tubing clamp are fed to switch transistors
via an inverter. The switch transistors can close the clamp independently.
The drive for the stepper motor has a GAL (generic array logic) and an
integrated motor controller. The GAL generates the logic signals for the m otor
controller from the frequency signal of the stepper motor and the control signal
of the coil current. The motor controller h as an internal phase current lim iter.
The motor coil is thereby constant.

The stepper motor is controlled by a mot or controller and a GAL (generic array

HPKOLB
Speed Recognition
Plunger Plate, Positive Locking
Direction of rotation HPMORI signal
•
Step frequency HP signal
•
Coil current HPHALT and HPISEL signal
•
The stepper motor works in a half step mode. An internal phase curren t limiter
of the motor controller is kept constant depending of the sensor resistors.
The current of the stepper motor can be set by the HPISEL and HPHALT inputs.
The internal stop signal of the motor is linked with the following signals:
Positive locking signal FORMS
•
Direction of rotation signal HPR
•
Stop signal HPHALT
•
The motor control is switched off if HPHALT is active or the positive locking is
opened and the direction of rotation is set to closing.
After processing the DREHS signal with a schmitt-trigger (signal of the light
barrier for detection of rotation) it is fed to a GAL. The level is only transferred
with a pulse from HP. Thus mechanical vibrations of the slot disc are filtered,
and the output signal is HPIST.

light barrier signals are processed with a schmitt-trigger and are available as
output signals HPKOLB and HPKRALO.
