Fresenius 2008K Hemodialysis Systems manufactured (or refurbished) in
2003 and later may be qualified for the semi-annual preventive maintenance
procedures described in this manual. In addition, 2008K hemodialysis
systems manufactured (or refurbished) in 2002 and earlier may be qualified for
the semi-annual PM procedures if the machine meets the minimum
configuration in the qualification checklist on page 69 and that configuration
is maintained.
Since modules and the power supply are designed to be easily moved from
machine to machine, it is necessary to label machines & modules that meet the
configuration requirements for the semi-annual PM program so that the status
of the machine is known and the minimum configuration of the machine is
maintained.

NOTE
This document is written for Fresenius 2008K Hemodialysis
Systems using software versions 2.16 or later.
Preventive Maintenance for the Fresenius 2008K Hemodialysis System is simple and
straightforward. Maintenance is performed in only two intervals: six (6) months, and
annually or after 4000 hours of operation. The maintenance procedures have been
devised to require a minimum of time while ensuring that the machine is maintained
in optimum operating condition.
Included in the Preventive Maintenance procedures are tests to verify normal
machine operation. Should the machine fail to pass any of these tests, repair or recalibrate as needed, then repeat the tests until the specifications are met before
returning the machine to service.
Checklists are provided in the back of this manual to record the work done. Make
copies of these checklists as needed. Your initials on the checklist certifies that each
procedure has been completed and that the machine is performing according to the
specifications given.

Several of the following procedures require measuring fluid volumes using graduated
cylinders and laboratory burets. When making these measurements do the following:
xMake certain the container is clean and dry before collecting the fluid to be
measured. Two drops of fluid are approximately 0.1ml, which is enough to
affect the accuracy of critical measurements.
xEnsure that no items such as thermometers or tubing are allowed to come in
contact with the fluid in the graduate. Such items will change the calibration of
the graduate and affect the accuracy of measurements. Both the total volume
indicated and the amount of fluid indicated by each increment on the graduated
scale will be incorrect. For example, if a graduate is calibrated in 1ml
increments, a piece of tubing in contact with the fluid will cause each increment
to be less than 1ml, depending upon the total volume of the tubing that penetrates
into the fluid.
xSurface tension causes the fluid to curve into a meniscus (See Figure 2).
Measure the volume at the bottom of the meniscus curve as shown.
Perform the following Preventive Maintenance procedures every six (6) months of
machine operation. Make copies of the Six (6) Month Preventive Maintenance
Checklist provided in the back of this manual and use them to record the
maintenance done.
When performing an Annual Preventive Maintenance, do not perform the six (6)
month procedures below first. Go directly to Section 3 and perform the annual
procedures described there.
While performing the following procedures, check the floor of the hydraulic unit and
all surfaces for moisture that might indicate a leak. Locate and correct any leaks
detected. Clean the floor of the hydraulic unit so that future leaks will be readily
apparent. Also, check all electrical connectors that can be reached to be sure they are
fully seated and there is no strain on the electrical cables.
Clean filters as follows. Replace any filters that appear damaged or corroded.
1. Inlet Water Filter in the inlet connector of the water supply (See Figure 3, pg 8).
Warning! After cleaning or replacing the inlet filter screen, disinfect the
water inlet line as described in the Operator’s manual and in accordance
with your Unit Policy.
Warning! Do not use excessive O-ring lubricant, as silicone-gel can
damage the hydraulic pressure transducers (P-DIAL and CFS).
2. Filters in the Concentrate and Bicarbonate Connectors (See Figure 4).
3. Dialysate Inline filter (See Figure 3, pg 8).

FFE
2.2 PRE-UF PUMP FILTER
FILTER INSERT P/N 566307
Figure 4 - Concentrate and Bicarbonate Connector Assemblies.
4. Replace o-rings in the Dialysate Line Connectors (See Figure 3, pg 8).
Inspect the Pre-UF Pump filter for leaks or distortion. Replace the Pre-UF Pump
Filter if leakage or distortion is found.
Caution: Do not attempt to disassemble the Pre-UF Pump Filter. If not
properly reassembled, the Pre-UF Pump filter may leak. A leak in the
hydraulic system at this location may affect the operation of the machine or
cause fluid loss from the patient.
Caution: If a check valve is replaced, ensure it is oriented correctly to
allow fluid flow in the proper direction.
Inspect the UF pump Output check valves (one at the UF pump output and
the other downstream at the UF Sample Port). Replace any that show signs
of wear, damage or leaking.
2.4 HIGH VOLTAGE AC CONNECTIONS
Warning! Dangerous high voltage is present at the connections accessed in
this procedure when the machine is operating. Ensure the machine's power
plug is disconnected from the wall outlet before proceeding.
TIVE
FFE
1. Remove power from the machine then check and tighten the 8-pin heater
connections on the distribution board (See Figure 3, pg 8). Check heater
block AC connections for signs of arcing or melting.
2. If applicable, inspect the power plug for loose or frayed wires. Ensure the
strain relief is securely fastened.
3. Inspect the entire length of the power cord (from plug to strain relief) for
nicks or cuts in the insulation and replace if necessary (Fresenius part
number 150425).
4. Confirm that the strain relief is tightly secured to the power supply chassis.
5. At the strain relief, locate the black, white and green wires from the power
cord (inside the power supply chassis). Follow the black and white wires to
the main power switch. Attached to the main power switch are four (4)
wires (2 black and 2 white). Look for loose connections, cracked insulation,
and signs of overheating, such as discolored or melted insulation. Replace
wires with power supply wire kit (Fresenius part number 190411).
6. Inspect the main power switch and verify that its operation is smooth (no
grinding or sticky operation) and that the wires are not crossed.
7. With a digital multimeter, measure the resistance between the round
P
(ground) pin on the power plug and the redundant ground terminal on the
machine (See Figure 3, pg 8). Verify that the resistance is less than 0.2 ohm.
If the value is above 0.2 ohm, measure the internal resistance of your meter
by shorting the leads together, then subtract this value from the resistance
measured between the power plug ground pin and the redundant ground
terminal on the machine to obtain the true ground resistance.
Warning! Do not operate the machine if the resistance is greater than 0.2
ohm. A shock hazard to operators and patients could exist.
8. Perform the electrical safety checks required by local codes, facility
procedure and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare
Organizations.

Calibrate the UF Pump Volume (Refer to the 2008K Calibration Procedures –
Fresenius part number 507296.)
2.6 CONDUCTIVITY
Verify that the dialysate conductivity measured by the internal cell in the machine
agrees with an external meter within 0.1mS/cm as follows:
1. Connect an external conductivity meter to the dialysate lines.
2. With the machine in Dialysis Mode and flow ON, compare the value shown
on the external meter with the conductivity shown on the Display screen.
They must be within 0.1mS/cm of each other.
Verify that the actual dialysate temperature measured by an external meter agrees
with the display screen within 0.5qC at 37qC and 39qC as follows:
1. Connect the dialysate lines to an external meter.
2. Place the machine in Dialysis Mode with concentrate in the system. Clear
any alarms.
3. Select the Temperature button. The button label will change to Temp. Setting. The value now displayed on this button is the temperature set
point. Adjust the temperature set point to exactly 37.0 then press the
[CONFIRM] key. The button will change back and now reads the actual
temperature of the dialysate again. Wait until this value stabilizes. It will
settle very close to the value set, depending upon inlet water temperature
and other conditions.
4. After the temperature of the dialysate stabilizes, compare the temperature
shown on the Temperature button with the temperature shown on the
external meter connected to the dialysate lines. The two readings must be
within 0.5q of each other.
FFE
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the temperature set to 39.0qC. Verify that the
actual temperature reported on the front panel display screen and the
external meter are within 0.5q of each other after the temperatures stabilize
again.
Verify the automatic alarms produce the responses shown in Table 1 and the
machine passes the automatic pressure holding test as follows:
1. Place the dialysate lines in the shunt and close the door.
Warning! The use of a “test drip chamber” or “dummy drip chamber”
must never be used on the treatment floor. It must only be used in a
controlled technical environment.
2. Place a venous chamber filled with water in the holder on the level detector

5. Observe the machine stepping through the following alarm tests and ensure
that each alarm produces all of the responses shown in Table 1.
6. When the tests shown in Table 1 are complete, the machine conducts a
pressure holding test. When the test ends verify that the display screen
reports TEST COMPLETE, indicating that all the tests were passed
successfully. Press the [RESET] key.
7. Test the UF pump integrity as follows:
xPull the hydraulics out and remove the output tube from the UF pump.
xInstall a 24” tube (Fresenius part number 545325-10) to the empty
output port. Route this tubing out the back of the machine so that it
will not be kinked or pinched when the hydraulics is closed. Close the
hydraulics and place the other end of tube into a collection container.
xConduct steps 1-6 again.
-If the pressure holding test fails, refer to Section 4.1.
-If the pressure holding test passes, disconnect the 24” tube and
reconnect the original output tube to the UF pump.
FFE
2.9 POWER FAILURE ALARM
8. Test the audible alarm as follows:
xPlace a piece of opaque paper inside the housing of the optical detector
to simulate a line containing blood. Close the door of the optical
detector.
xOpen the shunt door. Verify that the machine responds with an
audible alarm. Press the [Mute] key and verify that the Mute lamp
lights, and the audible tone stops.
Test the Power Failure alarm by turning the main power switch off on the back of the
power supply with the machine powered on. Verify that the audible alarm sounds. If
no audible alarm occurs, check/replace the 9-Volt battery.
Before returning the machine to clinical use after successful completion of all of the
Preventive Maintenance procedures listed above, complete the following:
xVerify that the machine label with serial number is in place, usually on the back
of the cabinet near the Monitor Control Unit or above the quick connectors of the
open shunt door assembly. Record this serial number on the Preventive
Maintenance Checklist form.
xVerify that no dialysate spills or leaks are visible in the hydraulics or on the
bottom of the cabinet. Clean and dry any spills found and correct the source.
xVerify that all cables are properly routed to prevent pinching or chaffing.
xVerify that all covers are replaced and that all cover screws and mounting
hardware has been replaced.
TIVE
FFE
Caution: Reliable operation of the machine requires that all screws and covers
be properly installed. Ensure that all screws and covers are in place before
returning the machine to clinical use.
xClean the exterior surfaces of the machine and remove all traces of dirt, oil or
other contaminants.
Caution: Do not use a cleaner containing Dimethyl Benzylammonium
Chloride. This ingredient will damage many plastic surfaces. Certain brands of
cleaners specifically marketed to clinics and hospitals contain this ingredient.

location may affect the operation of the machine or cause fluid loss from the patient.
Caution: Ensure each check valve is oriented correctly to allow fluid flow in the
proper direction.
Replace the UF Pump Output check valves. There are two check valves at the UF pump
output. One is at the UF pump itself. The other is downstream at the UF Sample Port.
3.4 DEAERATION RESTRICTOR
FFE
3.5 DIAPHRAGM PUMPS
Note: On newer machines with hydrochamber assemblies the deaeration restrictor is
a glass bead with a fixed orifice built into one of the hydrochamber interconnecting
tubes. Since there are no o-rings in this type of setup, disregard this step. If a screw
is present in the back side of the hydroblock proceed with the following check.
With the machine off, replace the deaeration restrictor O-rings by clamping the
hydroblock vent tube and removing the deaeration restrictor from the hydroblock (See
Figure 3, pg 8). Replace the two O-rings on the deaeration restrictor (Fresenius part
number 579070). Clean any debris that may be present in the angled hole at the tip of
the deaeration restrictor.
Rebuild the UF, Bicarbonate and Concentrate diaphragm pumps as described in
Section 4.1 and 4.2.
Warning! Dangerous high voltage is present at these connections when the
machine is operating. The heater element is hot enough to inflict serious injury
if it is touched while power is applied or shortly after power is removed. Ensure
the machine is disconnected from the wall outlet.
1.Remove the rear access panels and distribution board cover so that the wires of
the heater are accessable.
Note: If the heater element is replaced, replace the heater O-ring as well
(P/N 579075).
2.Remove the heater element from the hydroblock on the machine (See Figure 3,
pg 8). Inspect the heater element for signs of corrosion. If corrosion exists,
replace the heater element.
3.Attach one lead of the voltmeter to the ground (yellow / green wire) and the
other lead to the brown or blue wire. Measure the resistance. Resistance should
be “ OL “ or greater than 19.9 meg-ohms. If this is not the case, replace the
heater element.
FFE
3.7 HIGH VOLTAGE AC CONNECTIONS
4.After completing this check, reinstall the heater and O-ring .
Perform the Six (6) Month Preventive Maintenance procedures in Section 2.4.
Verify that the regulator provides the proper water pressure as follows:
1. Shut off the water supply to the machine.
2. Install a gauge with a T-fitting to monitor the pressure at the outlet side of
the Inlet Pressure Regulator (See Figure 3, pg 8).
Caution: Use tie wraps or tubing clamps to secure the connections. The
water pressure may be sufficient to blow the lines off the fittings if they are
not secured.
3. Turn the water supply to the machine ON.
4. With the dialysate lines in the shunt, select Rinse Mode. The pressure gauge
will cycle between two readings as water inlet valve opens and closes.
TIVE
FFE
Note: Rinse mode causes all valves, pumps, and motors to run/activate.
While in Rinse Mode inspect for any leaks; paying particular attention to
areas of the hydraulics that were disassembled in previous steps during the
preventive maintenance procedures.
5. Verify that the pressure gauge reads between 18 and 20psi when the pressure
is at its highest value, and reads greater than 8psi when the pressure is at its
lowest value.
Note: Readings below 8psi at the lowest level indicates inadequate inlet
water flow into the machine. This may be caused by a dirty inlet filter
screen or problems with the treated water supply.
6. Turn off the source water supply.
7. Turn the machine OFF, remove the gauge and reconnect the tubing using
clamps to prevent leaks.
8. Turn the treated water supply source ON, turn the machine ON and select
Dialysis Mode. Start dialysate flow and inspect all hoses and connections.
Ensure that there are no leaks.
If the machine is equipped with Online Clearance (OLC), conduct the following test:
OLC Self-Test
1.With stable temperature and conductivity, start an OLC Self-Test by
pressing the OLC Self-Test screen button on the Kt/V screen.
TIVE
FFE
Note: Switch to the debug screens by pressing and holding the [
[] keys at the same time for approximately 1 sec. The main display will
change indicating that the machine is in debug mode.
2.When the OLC Self-Test is complete, go to debug screen #5 and confirm that
0 Test (0TST prior to functional software version 3.02) is in the range r20.
Note: If 0 Test (0TST) is out of range, the OLC Self-Test will fail. If
this happens, conduct temperature (PRE & POST) and conductivity
calibrations, then conduct OLC Self-Test again.
OLC Self-Test Troubleshooting
If the OLC Self-Test continues to fail after conducting the temperature (PRE &
POST) and the conductivity calibrations, conduct the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Turn the machine ON and allow the machine to run in Dialysis Mode at
500ml/min flow rate for approximately 10 minutes. This allows the
machine to come up to temperature and conductivity.
Note: On functional software prior to version 3.02, an OLC Self Test will
start automatically as soon as temperature and conductivity are stable. Once
the test starts cancel it by opening the shunt door. The cancel message will
be hidden by the Shunt Door Open banner. Close the shunt door and
confirm that OLC Self Test banner is gone.
] and
2. Once the machine is warmed up, remove X3 (MON-NTC) and X7 (COND)
Verify that the deaeration pressure is between –24 and -25 inHg and the loading
pressure is between 18 and 20psi (between 23 and 25psi if a DIASAFEfilter system
is installed) as follows:
1. With dialysate flow OFF, install a gauge with a T-fitting to monitor the pressure
on the inlet (suction) side of the deaeration pump (See Figure 3, pg 8).
2. Connect a gauge equipped with a yellow connector into the red
ACETATE/ACID port.
3. In Dialysis Mode, turn dialysate flow ON and verify that the gauge on the
deaeration pump indicates between -24 and -25 inHg. The needle will be
vibrating somewhat. Verify that it does not go higher than -24 inHg or
lower than -25 Hg. Verify that the gauge in the ACETATE/ACID port
indicates between 18 and 20psi (between 23 and 25psi if a DIASAFE
system is installed).

xRecord the Power Supply Serial Number on the qualification checklist on page 69.
Warning! Dangerous high voltage is present at the connections accessed in this
procedure when the machine is operating. Ensure the machine's power plug is
disconnected from the wall outlet before proceeding.
xInspect power plug & power cord length for damage
1. Inspect the power plug for heat damage and the power cord length (from plug to strain relief) for cuts, chips, crushing, heat damage, etc.
2. If damage is found, replace the complete power cord (P/N 150425). The
complete power cord includes a molded power plug on one end.
1. Inspect the main power switch and verify that its operation is smooth (no
grinding or sticky operation).

FFE
2. If switch does not operate smoothly, replace the main power switch (P/N
363020-01).
xInspect connections to the main power switch
1. Locate the strain relief where the power cord connects to the power supply.
2. On the other side of the strain relief, locate the black, white and green wires
from the power cord (inside the power supply chassis).
3. Follow the black and white wires to the main power switch.
4. Attached to the main power switch are four (4) wires (2 black and 2 white).
Look for loose connections, cracked insulation, and signs of overheating,
such as discolored or melted insulation.
5. If the black or white wires from the power cord to the main power switch
are damaged, replace the complete power cord (P/N 150425)
If the black or white wires from the main power switch to the power control
board show signs of damage, replace them (P/N 190273 for the black wire
and P/N 190274 for the white wire).
1. Inspect all wires inside the power supply assembly for loose connections,
cracked insulation, and signs of overheating, such as discolored or melted
insulation.
2. If any wires appear damaged use power supply wiring kit (P/N 190411).
This kit includes all wire assemblies including P/N 190273 and 190274.
Installation instructions and a diagram are included to assist in the
replacement of each wire.
xInspect the 10μF capacitor
1. Locate the 10μF capacitor mounted to the chassis of the power supply (see
Figure 16).
FFE
Figure 16 - 10µF Capacitor
2. Inspect the 10μF capacitor for signs of bubbling, swelling, leaking, etc.
3. Replace the 10μF capacitor (P/N 361216-03) if it shows any signs of damage
or if the power supply is more than 5 years old.
