INSTALLATION

The 2008T BlueStar Standard Upgrade Kit (P/N 191137) installs a different functional software
version than expected (e.g., installs version 2.64 instead of version 2.72).

1. Read and follow the installation instructions included with the upgrade kit.

2. The 2008T BlueStar software installation requires a two-step installation process as noted
in the instructions. The updater will install a temporary software version which will not match

the Flash Drive label during the first installation. The latest functional software version will
be installed during the second installation.

AUTO START

Auto Start not available.

1. 2008T BlueStar Premium Upgrade Kit (P/N 191138) must be installed and the Premium
features enabled.

2. Once installed, Auto Start is accessible in Service Mode / Maintenance / Scheduler / Auto Start.

Auto Start automatic self-tests do not complete.

1. A conductivity time-out occurs.

2. Select Both Tests to run self-tests manually.

NOTE: The Auto Start Dialysis button will be green and the status box message “Connect Concentrates”
will be displayed. Once the acid connector is removed from its port, the machine will wait up to seven
minutes for dialysate conductivity and temperature to stabilize. If they do not stabilize, automatic
testing will be cancelled, and the self-tests must be run manually.

To reduce the chances of this situation occurring, it is suggested that both the acid and bicarbonate
concentrate supplies be connected at the same time to achieve conductivity. Follow facility policies and
procedures.
