Preventive Maintenance for the Fresenius 2008K Hemodialysis System is simple and
straightforward. Maintenance is performed in only two intervals: Quarterly or after
1000 hours of operation, 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.
A number of small parts must be available to perform the Preventive Maintenance.
Fresenius part number 190098 is a kit of the parts needed, except for the 9-Volt
battery that must be replaced during the annual preventive maintenance. An NEDA
1604AC heavy-duty (alkaline type) battery is required. In addition, the following
test equipment is needed:
FFE
Warning! All of the test equipment used must be maintained and calibrated
regularly in accordance with NIST standards. In particular, the conductivity meter

Touch Screen Operation
The touch screen is designed to display information and is used to enter data. To
select a button during a procedure, locate the button on the screen. Select a
parameter for which data will be entered using the keys below the screen.
Depending on the type of button, the screen will change. Data boxes are also
displayed on the touch screen. The following describes the type of buttons and data
boxes that will be encountered during the preventive maintenance process.
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 3 months or
1000 hours of machine operation, whichever comes first. Make copies of the
Quarterly 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 quarterly
procedures below first. Go directly to Section 3 and perform the annual procedures
described there. You will be referred back to this section to perform the quarterly
procedures along with the annual procedures in the most efficient order.
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 and replace O-rings 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 and O-rings in the Concentrate and Bicarbonate Connectors
(See Figure 4). Replace all three O-rings in each connector.

2.3 CHECK VALVES
FFE
Note: If the machine is equipped with a DIASAFE
connector O-rings (Fresenius part number 579097) when replacing the filter.
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 and the other
downstream at the UF Sample Port). Replace any that show signs of wear, damage
or leaking.
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.
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
(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.)
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.
FFE
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.
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 is
within 0.5q of each other after the temperatures stabilize again.
Caution: In the following steps, the level detector must be removed from the machine
cabinet. Before returning it to the cabinet, wipe the lower edge of the module and the
level detector cabinet opening to remove any residual disinfecting agent. When
installing the module screws do not use a power screwdriver.
ALARM TEST
1. Calibrate level detector (Refer to Section 3.2 of the 2008K Calibration
Procedures – Fresenius part number 507296).
2. Place the machine in Dialysis Mode and turn the blood pump ON. Insert a
water filled venous chamber into the level detector and clear all alarms.
3. Position the Level Detector so you can watch the Channel 1 and Channel 2
LED's on the circuit board (See Figure 6 on page 15).
4. While watching the Channel 1 and Channel 2 LED's, remove the venous
chamber to create a blood alarm and close the occlusion clamp. Verify that
the Channel 1 LED lights first followed quickly by Channel 2.
OCCLUSION CLAMP TEST
FFE
1. Place a venous line into the closed occlusion clamp. Do not connect this
line to the venous chamber in the level detector.
2. Place the lower end of the venous line below the occlusion clamp in a
container of water positioned so that air escaping from the end of the line is
easily seen.
3. Connect a syringe and a pressure gauge to the venous line above the
occlusion clamp.
4. With the syringe, apply a pressure of at least 30psi (1550mmHg) to the
venous line while watching the end of the venous line in the water.
5. Verify that no air escapes from the venous line, indicating that the clamp is
fully occluding the line.
A relay prevents the level up and level down membrane keys on the face of the
level detector to function if they are pressed at the same time.
Various module configurations are available. Use the following information to
select the correct method to use to check the relay contacts:
xUse Method 1 if LP450 has LED’s D6 & D19 (See Figure 5)
xUse Method 2 if LP450 does not have relay test LED’s then locate a separate
relay board LP1026 with test LED’s D3 & D4 (See Figure 5).
xUse Method 3 if LP1026 is present and does not have LED’s D3 & D4
(See Figure 6).
Method 1:
1. With the machine in Dialysis Mode and the blood pump turned ON, insert a
water filled venous chamber into the level detector and clear all alarms
2. Locate the relay test LED’s D6 and D19 on the LP450 board.
3. To test the LED’s, press the level down switch on the face of the level
detector and verify that both LED’s D6 and D19 light. The on-board air
pump will also run. If both LED’s light, proceed to step 4.

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.
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.
FFE
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.
Check the contents of any unknown cleaner before using it.
Perform the following Preventive Maintenance procedures every 12 months or
4000 hours of machine operation, whichever comes first. Perform the procedures
in the order given below to complete the Annual Preventive Maintenance and the
Quarterly Preventive Maintenance. The following procedures will refer back to
the Quarterly Preventive Maintenance procedures at the proper times for you to
work in the most efficient manner.
Make copies of the Annual Preventive Maintenance Checklist provided at the back
of this manual and use them to record the maintenance done.
Perform the Quarterly Preventive Maintenance procedures in Sections 2.1.
Replace the Pre-UF Pump Filter (Fresenius part number 672574).
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.
FFE
3.3 CHECK VALVES
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.
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

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
3.8 HIGH VOLTAGE AC CONNECTIONS
4.After completing this check, reinstall the heater and O-ring.
Perform the Quarterly Preventive Maintenance procedures in Sections 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.
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.
FFE
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.

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.

3. Use the [] and [] keys to go to debug screen #1.
xLocate the debug value for FILACT. In order to turn off dialysis flow
later, FILACT must be 0.
xLocate the debug value for DOUBLE. Certain types of Bicarbonate or
higher Bicarbonate levels selected will require the pump to double
stroke. If the debug value for DOUBLE is 1, the pump is double
stroking. Before continuing the test, adjust the Bicarbonate level until
the debug value for DOUBLE is 0.
xIf the debug values for the Bicarbonate Pump Volume (BMIN and
BMAX) are showing 0 on debug screen #1, the machine is set up for a
concentrate family that does not use bicarbonate. Change the
concentrate selection to one requiring bicarbonate.
Note: The AMIN, AMAX, BMIN, BMAX are the expected limits for
twenty pulses of the acid (concentrate) pump volume and the bicarbonate
pump volume, respectively. These volumes are based on the measured
volume of the balancing chamber to produce the correct mixing ratio.
