The description of the TSM service program is valid for the
software version 6.21.
For software versions < 6.20: menus, descriptions or settings can
differ from the SW 6.21 or specific options may not be available.
The name Dialog is used to simplify the text in the chapter TSM
service program. If necessary Dialog or Dialog Advanced is used to
distinguish between different version types.
Only trained personnel must commission and service the
Dialog/Dialog Advanced.
Servicing must only be perfomed with proper tools, calibration
equipment and be in accordance with the most recent revision of
this service manual/technical information, which must be clearly
and thoroughly understood.
To prevent electrical shock hazard - Switch off the Dialog/Dialog
Advanced and disconnect unit from mains if you have to open the
machine for servicing.
Do not touch any exposed wiring or conductive surfaces while the
Dialog/Dialog Advanced is opened. The voltages present when
electrical power is connected to the Dialog/Dialog Advanced can
cause serious injury or death.
TSM Service Program
Software
Therapy Mode
Calibration
Only activate the TSM service program for service activities. It is
prohibited to connect a patient to the Dialog/Dialog Advanced
and to run a therapy if the TSM service program is activated in the
Dialog/Dialog Advanced.
If the TSM service program is activated the audible alarm is
switched off.
The TSM service program is started in the service mode:
supervisor board, hardware switch K1, position 2.
The software is installed in the software mode: supervisor board,
hardware switch K1, position 3.
After completion of all procedures switch back to the therapy
mode: supervisor board, hardware switch K1, position 0.
Only perform a calibration after the Dialog/Dialog Advanced has
reached working temperature.
You should save the calibration data to the hard disk drive before
you exit the TSM service program: TSM Main Menu, FileOperations, Save Calibration Data.
The service board must only be operated in the TSM service
program. If the service board is connected to the Dialog/Dialog
Advanced it is prohibited to connect a patient to the Dialog/
Dialog Advanced and to run a therapy.
Standard Power Supply (Ascom)
Prevent shorts during the exchange of boards, valves and pumps:
remove the fuse SI 14 6.3 AT (+24 VL) from the standard power
supply (Ascom), because the +24 VL reduction is very slow.
During servicing on running machines: prevent chemical burns
and scalding of the skin due to the penetration of disinfectant or
hot liquid.
Servicing of mechanical assembly groups (components in contact
with fluid): the black cover in the rear door must be assembled
during servicing because it serves as a spray protection for the
assembled printed circuit boards.
Always check o-rings from disassembled groups/components and
replace if necessary.
Pay attention to ESD requirements, because electronic
components are sensitive to electrostatic discharges.
Function Check
Figures
Fuses
Spare Parts
The displayed figures can differ slightly from the machines on site,
due to different hardware statuses.
If fuses are replaced they must exactly match the type and rating
specified by the manufacturer in the spare parts list/technical
information. Where applicable: fuses must be approved by
UL/CSA.
Only use original spare parts manufactured and sold by B. Braun
Medizintechnologie GmbH.
Check the respective function of the assembly group/component
after servicing.
A complete function check must be performed after every service,
according to the operating manual.
The TSM Main Menu (TSM = Technical Support and
Maintenance) is used for servicing the machine.
The TSM service program (TSM Main Menu) is
started as follows:
All machine specific data and options are available in the Production Report
menu.
The Operation Mode Report menu can be selected in the Service Report menu.

The ABPM Maintenance menu is used for the
function test of the Dialog automatic blood pressure
measurement ABPM option. The cuff is replaced by
a 500 ml measurement chamber.
The following functions can be tested:
• P Test (Pressure Comparison Test)
• Test 1 (Inflation Time)
• Test 2 (Deflation Speed)
• Test 3 (Initial Deflation Speed Check)
• Test 4 (Air Leakage)
See chapter 5 technical safety inspection and
preventive maintenance: inspection protocol for the
automatic blood pressure measurement ABPM and
the execution procedure for the measurement
inspection.
The P Test key activates and deactivates the pressure comparison test of the
ABPM. The P Test is used to compare the pressure value of the pressure sensor
with a reference instrument.
A reference instrument (accuracy ≤± 0.5 mmHg) is required for the comparison
test of the pressure sensor.
The Test 1 key activates and deactivates the inflation time. Thus the inflation
time of the pump is tested up to 300 mmHg, i.e.:
• 0 - 250 mmHg
• 0 - 300 mmHg
The measurement chamber is connected to the ABPM system via the pressure
tubing. A pressure is built up to 300 mmHg.
The Test 2 key activates and deactivates the deflation speed. Thus the deflation
speed of the deflation valve is tested. The deflation starts at 300 mmHg.
The measurement chamber is connected to the ABPM system via the pressure
tubing. A pressure is built up to 300 mmHg. The deflation speed is devided in 4
steps: : 260 - 180 mmHg, 180- 100 mmHg, 100 - 60 mmHg and 60 - 30 mmHg.
The Test 3 key activates and deactivates the initial deflation speed check. Thus
the initial deflation speed of the ABPM is tested.
The measurement chamber is connected to the ABPM system via the pressure
tubing. A pressure is built up to 300 mmHg. The initial deflation speed is checked:
• Min. amplitude
• Max. amplitude
• Counts
Air Leakage [mmHg]
4.10.1.7DBI Test
The Test 4 key activates and deactivates the air leakage test (3 minutes). Thus
the pneumatic integrity of the ABPM system is tested.
The measurement chamber is connected to the ABPM system via the pressure
tubing. A pressure is built up to 300 mmHg and is held for 3 minutes.

The blood leak detector 2 performs an automatic calibration of the zero point with
a reference diode.
The blood leak detector 2 can be checked and calibrated. The rinsing block must
have an even temperature for calibration. If both dialyser couplings are
connected to the rinsing bridge the flow pumps (FPAFPA/ FPEFPE) work in main flow.
If only one coupling is connected FPEFPE is stopped. The test solution can be sucked
in by the second coupling via FPAFPA. The first calibation point must be performed
with clean water.
A function test and a calibration is performed for the blood leak detector 2.

detector 2.
Check the blood leak detector 2 after a citro-thermal disinfection (LLC ManualTest, Test 1.18 Blood Leak Detector).
Close front and rear door for the function test to prevent light irradiation on the

You can run a leakage test for the balance chamber
system, the bypass valve VBPVBP and the main flow
valves VDE/VDAVDE/VDA, the air separator valve VLAVLA and
the UF pump UFPUFP. The flow system must be filled
with water prior to the leakage test (if necassary fill
in menu 1.20 Water Part Overview).
The following components are tested:

after the second test step.)
If the test is activated for the dialysate circuit an automatic leakage test is
performed. The test is started with a positive test pressure and then followed by a
negative test pressure.
If the test is started with a positive test pressure an additional test step is
performed after the second test step. This additional step performs a leakproof test
of the membranes. The valves have the following position during the test:
• VDEBK/VABKVDEBK/VABK:opened
• VDABK/VEBK/VLAVDABK/VEBK/VLA:closed
The test pressure is present in the inlet balance chamber during this test. The
membrane seals the outlet of the test circuit. A defective membrane would cause
a pressure drop.
