Indications for Use:
2008T Hemodialysis Machine:
The 2008T hemodialysis machine is indicated for acute and chronic dialysis therapy.
bibag System (Optional): The bibag system is used with three stream proportioning hemodialysis systems
equipped with the bibag module such as the 2008T Hemodialysis Machine and is intended for use in
bicarbonate hemodialysis for acute and chronic renal failure. The bibag is intended for extracorporeal
bicarbonate hemodialysis according to a physician’s prescription.
Crit-Line Clip Monitor (CLiC) (Optional): The Crit-Line Clip Monitor is used with the 2008T
Hemodialysis Machine to non-invasively measure hematocrit, oxygen saturation and percent change in
blood volume. The CLiC device measures hematocrit, percent change in blood volume and oxygen
saturation in real time for application in the treatment of dialysis patients with the intended purpose of
providing a more effective treatment for both the dialysis patient and the clinician. Based on the data that
the monitor provides, the clinician/nurse, under physician direction, intervenes (i.e., increases or
decreases the rate at which fluid is removed from the blood) in order to remove the maximum amount of
fluid from the dialysis patient without the patient experiencing the common complications of dialysis
which include nausea, cramping and vomiting.

About this manual…
The purpose of the 2008T Hemodialysis Machine Operator’s Manual is to instruct qualified
patient-care staff in the function, operation, and maintenance of the 2008T hemodialysis
machine. It is not intended as a guide for performing hemodialysis, a medical treatment that
should only be performed under the supervision of a licensed physician.
This manual is organized to systematically guide a patient-care specialist through the set up,
operation, and clean up of the 2008T hemodialysis machine in daily use. The book begins
with an overview that introduces the operator to the major components and describes how
they are organized on the machine. Next, the operator is guided through a daily set-up
procedure. Once the machine has been prepared for daily use, a step-by-step guide to
preparing the machine for a patient-specific treatment is provided. The operator is then
provided a tour of the various treatment screen functions useful in monitoring the treatment,
followed by instruction in terminating treatment and post-treatment clean up. Also included
are sections on troubleshooting, maintenance, and treatment options.
The organization of the 2008T hemodialysis Operator’s Manual is as follows:

About Hemodialysis…
Indications
Hemodialysis is prescribed by physicians for patients with acute or chronic renal failure,
when conservative therapy is judged inadequate. Dialysis therapy may be intermittent or
continuous.
Contraindications
There are no absolute contraindications to hemodialysis, but the passing of a patient’s blood
through an extracorporeal circuit may require anticoagulation to prevent blood clotting. In
addition, the parameters of dialysis should be optimized to avoid discomfort to the patient.
Many patients are taking medicinal therapy prescribed by their physicians. Due to the dialysis
treatment, some of the medication may be removed from the patient’s blood thereby lowering
the therapeutic level in the blood. In other cases, medications may not be excreted as quickly
as expected with patients with renal insufficiency and the level may be higher than expected.
Therefore, the prescribing physician should determine the appropriate dosage of the medicine
to obtain the desired medicinal response in the patient.
About Hemodialysis…
Some Side Effects of Hemodialysis
Dialysis therapy occasionally causes hypovolemia, hypervolemia, hypertension, hypotension
and related symptoms, headache, nausea, cramping or other muscular discomfort in some
patients. Hypothermia, hyperthermia, itching, anxiety, convulsions, seizure, and other
neurologic symptoms associated with dialysis dementia may also be manifested by the
patient. These symptoms are thought to occur if the patient’s blood volume or electrolyte
balance is not maintained within acceptable limits. Other, more serious, complications
arising from dialysis, such as hemorrhage, air embolism, or hemolysis, can cause serious
patient injury or death. The prescribing physician must understand that prescribing
insufficient bicarbonate may contribute to metabolic acidosis; excessive bicarbonate may
contribute to metabolic alkalosis. Both conditions are associated with poor patient outcomes,
including increased risk of mortality. Proper control of all elements of dialysis may prevent
or control these physiological reactions or complications.
Pyrogenic reactions may occur which can result in patient injury. Generally it is thought that
these may be controlled by maintaining the dialysate solution within the chemical and
bacteriologic limits (see Water Quality on page 265 of the “Machine Specifications” section
for more information). Failure to use these standards for water can also lead to accumulated
toxic effects. A regular program for disinfection and testing of the water treatment system,
piping, inlet lines, filters, concentrate feed containers or system, and the dialysate delivery
machine must be established and followed. This program will vary from facility to facility.
Infections or pyrogen reactions may also result from contamination of the extracorporeal
circuit or inadequate procedures used to reuse dialyzers.
2008T Machine Operator’s Manual P/N 490122 Rev N 11
About Hemodialysis…
Allergic reactions to chemical disinfectants may occur if insufficient procedures are used to
remove or maintain the residual disinfectant at acceptable levels. Chemical disinfectants are
used for dialyzer disinfection, machine disinfection, or for disinfection of water treatment and
distribution systems.
All blood connections must be made using aseptic technique.
All tubes and connections must be secured and closely monitored to prevent loss of blood or
entry of air into the extracorporeal circuit or errors in the ultrafiltration control system. The
patient may require blood transfusion or other medical intervention to prevent respiratory or
cardiac disorders if these occur.
The patient’s blood pressure and general physical status must be closely monitored during
dialysis in order to initiate appropriate remedial measures or therapy. Of particular
importance is the control of the patient’s serum potassium level to prevent cardiac
dysrhythmia and the patient’s blood clotting time to prevent clotting disorders.
These instructions are for the 2008T hemodialysis machine. The machine must only be
operated in accordance with these instructions. All operators of this machine must be
thoroughly trained and have read this entire manual and any applicable appendices before
using the machine. Improper care/use of this device may result in serious patient injury or
death.
Blood Pressure Module Contraindications
The following are generally accepted contraindications for using a timed automatic blood
pressure instrument utilizing the oscillometric principle:
Use of a heart lung machine
Peripheral circulation problems
Severe arrhythmia
Ectopic beats
Convulsions
Spasms
Tremors
Tachycardia
Use of incorrectly sized blood pressure cuffs may result in inaccurate blood pressure
readings.
This is a guideline only. Final determination of the suitability of any medical instrument for
use with any patient is the responsibility of the treating physician.

General Warnings
This section contains general warnings statements regarding the use and maintenance of the
2008T hemodialysis machine. It is not a complete summary, and additional warning
statements specific to pertinent topics can be found within this manual.
Water
Warning! Connect water inlet according to the specifications for the machine. For further
information, see Appendix C, “Machine Specifications.” The correct ionic concentration
and bacterial quality can generally be achieved in the dialysate only with treated water that
meets water quality standards (see Water Quality and Dialysate Quality on page 265 of the
“Machine Specifications” section for more information). Be sure that all specifications are
satisfied. The water source must be monitored periodically to detect fluctuations in water
composition and quality that could have an adverse effect on the patient or dialysate delivery
machine. Particular attention must be taken for chemicals such as aluminum, chlorine, and
chloramine, as these chemicals can cause complications in dialysis patients.
Warning! Comply with all local regulations in respect of separation of devices in the water
supply in case of back siphonage; an air gap must be created between the machine’s drain
line and its drain.
General Warnings
Concentrates
Warning! The specific acid and bicarbonate concentrates, including the sodium,
bicarbonate, and electrolyte compositions, must be prescribed by a physician.
Warning! Many concentrate types are available for use in dialysate delivery machines.
Concentrates contain various amounts of dextrose, potassium, calcium, sodium, chloride,
magnesium, and other components. Most concentrates are designed as a two-part system of
acid and bicarbonate solutions which are mixed in the machine with water. Even within the
subgroup of bicarbonate type concentrates, there are at least four methods of compounding
the solutions. Each of these methods requires special calibrations or setups. Certain
methods are not supported. It is mandatory that the acid and bicarbonate types be matched
to each other. Be sure to use compatible solutions, labeling, and setups. These setups
include machine calibration, special adapters for certain concentrate types, correct setting of
concentrate option, and labeling. Failure to use the properly matched solutions and machine
calibrations may allow improper dialysate to be delivered to the patient, resulting in patient
injury or death. Verify composition, conductivity, and pH after converting to a different
type of concentrate.
Warning: Acid concentrate, bicarbonate concentrate, and water must be of the appropriate
quality to ensure safety and performance of the final dialysate are met (see Water Quality,
Dialysate Quality, and Concentrate Quality on page 265 of the “Machine Specifications”
section for more information).
Warning: The dissolved bibag bicarbonate concentrate must be used within 24 hours of
connecting to the dialysis machine. Do not refill the bibag container.
2008T Machine Operator’s Manual P/N 490122 Rev N 13
General Warnings
Warning! Connection to a central acid or bicarbonate feed system requires the installation
of certain mechanical parts. Contact Fresenius USA, Inc. for more information.
Warning! Bicarbonate and acid concentrates intended for other dialysate delivery machines
will deliver safe dialysate solution only if the machine is set up for them. The selection of
other dialysate concentrate types must be done by a qualified, authorized person. The
2008T hemodialysis machine can be set up for various concentrate types. Use Table 35 in
Appendix C to ensure that you have compatible concentrates and configurations.
Warning! Acid concentrate products are used as one component in mixing dialysate bath.
These acid products contain chemical compounds that, after mixing, yield acetate (and
citrate in certain products) in the dialysate. (Please refer to the acid concentrate product
labeling for specific acetate/citrate amounts.) After diffusion across the dialyzer membrane,
acetate (and citrate when present) is metabolized by the liver to serum bicarbonate and adds
to the serum bicarbonate that separately results from the diffusion of dialysate bicarbonate
across the dialyzer membrane. During dialysis, the dynamic of diffusion and concentration
gradients prevent serum bicarbonate concentration from exceeding the dialysate bicarbonate
concentration. The bicarbonate concentration of the dialysate is the “bicarbonate” setting on
the dialysis machine, and is the bicarbonate dose prescribed by the physician. On the 2008
series hemodialysis machines, the bicarbonate dose may be set in a range between 20 and 40
milliequivalents per liter, but may be set in different ranges in other machines.
When the dialysis session terminates, acetate (and citrate when present) that has not yet
metabolized may remain in the blood and will be converted to serum bicarbonate after
diffusion ceases, without possibility of diffusion out of the blood. The post dialysis
metabolism of acetate (and citrate when present) could thus briefly increase serum
bicarbonate concentration above the prescribed bicarbonate concentration of the dialysate.
Physicians should consider this possibility in prescribing bicarbonate dose.
Prescription of insufficient bicarbonate may contribute to metabolic acidosis; excessive
bicarbonate may contribute to metabolic alkalosis. Both conditions are associated with poor
patient outcomes, including increased mortality risk.
Warning! Incorrect composition will result if the acid concentrate nozzle is not connected
to the appropriate acid concentrate or the bicarbonate concentrate nozzle is not connected to
the appropriate bicarbonate solution. The acid and bicarbonate concentrates must match
those selected in the “Dialysate” screen. Patient injury or death may occur if incorrect
dialysate solution is used. Fresenius USA, Inc. recommends the operator use the concentrate
containers provided with the machine. These containers, being of different size and shape,
help to reduce the chances of mismatching the acid and bicarbonate concentrates.
Warning! Test the conductivity and approximate pH of the dialysate with an independent
device before beginning treatment. Test it also when changing concentrates during
treatment and when switching from the bibag system to liquid bicarbonate*. The wrong
conductivity or pH may cause serious injury or death.
*Note: If alternative liquid bicarbonate concentrate sources are used (jugs or central
delivery) the end user must ensure the bicarbonate is of appropriate quality and is prepared
per manufacturer’s instructions.
Warning! Use of an acid concentrate intended for a 1:44 mix ratio in any 1:34
proportioning dialysate delivery machine may result in a dialysate solution with a normal
conductivity but without a physiological buffer. There may be no alarms in this event. Use
of this improper dialysate solution may cause patient injury or death.
14 2008T Machine Operator’s Manual P/N 490122 Rev N
General Warnings
Warning! The machine must be labeled to indicate the type of concentrate for which it is
configured. Check the composition (i.e., Na, Cl, K, Ca, Mg, HCO
solution after the machine is installed or after the machine is modified for different
concentrate types. Check the conductivity and approximate pH of the dialysate solution
with an independent device before initiating dialysis. Improper conductivity or pH could
result in patient injury or death.

Machine
Warning! Failure to install, operate, and maintain this equipment according to the
manufacturer’s instructions may cause patient injury or death.
Warning! Proper functioning of the machine must be verified prior to initiating treatment.
Unidentified malfunctions or alarm failure could potentially expose a patient to a serious
health risk. Alarm limits for the arterial pressure monitor, venous pressure monitor, and
transmembrane pressure (TMP) monitor are automatically set and delayed for pressure
stabilization. Alarm limits for temperature and conductivity are calculated for the dialysate
composition and may be somewhat adjusted by the operator. These must be maintained
within safe physiological limits as specified by the prescribing physician.
Warning! Never perform maintenance when a patient is connected to the machine. If
possible, remove the machine from the treatment area when it is being serviced. Label the
machine to ensure it is not accidentally returned to clinical use before the service work is
completed. Disinfect the machine and test the dialysate for acceptable conductivity and pH
values before returning the machine to clinical use. Always test the machine when
maintenance is completed.
Warning! The electrical source must be single phase, three-conductor type provided with a
hospital grade receptacle and a ground fault interrupter at 120 volts, 60 Hz. The proper
polarity and ground integrity must be initially checked and maintained. Failure to do so may
result in electrical shock or burn to the operator or patient. The machine must be plugged
directly into the electrical outlet; extension cords and power strips are prohibited.
Warning! Shock hazard. Do not remove covers. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Replace fuses only with the same type and rating.
Warning! Do not install the 9-Volt battery backwards in the machine, as it will damage the
“No Power” alarm.
Warning! Do not use devices emitting strong electromagnetic radiation such as portable
phones, radio equipment (walkie-talkies, etc.), radio transmitters, and like equipment near
your machine. Improper operation may result.
Cellular phones and WiFi connected devices may be conditionally allowed. However, if any
interference is noted, such as false pressure readings that disappear when the external signal
is removed, it is recommended to move the cellular phone at least ten feet away from the
2008T hemodialysis machine when making or receiving phone calls. If a WiFi-connected
device (e.g. laptop computers, tablet devices, smartphones) is found to cause interference, it
is recommended to use that device at least four feet away from the 2008T hemodialysis
machine.
For exact separation distance recommendation, please refer to the Manufacturer’s EMC
Declaration statement on page 271.
2008T Machine Operator’s Manual P/N 490122 Rev N 15
General Warnings
Warning! Transducer protectors should be used between pressure ports and each pressure
monitor line of the extracorporeal system to prevent the internal transducer protectors from
getting wet. Wet transducer protectors must be replaced, as they will cause inaccurate
pressure readings. If the external transducer protector and the internal transducer protector
become contaminated with blood, the transducer protectors must be replaced and the
transducer and associated parts must be disinfected or replaced.
Warning! A new, sterile transducer protector should be placed on all the air connections
from the drip chambers to the machine pressure monitor ports. This will prevent
contamination of the machine and filters air that enters the chambers through the monitor
lines. If the transducer protector should get wet and air is not able to pass, replace the
transducer protector and clear the monitor line.
Warning! The machine is compatible with a number of venous lines. The Level Detector
module must be calibrated for the model venous line being used. In addition, verify that the
venous line clamp is capable of fully occluding the model of bloodline that your facility
uses.
Warning! To avoid damaging the equipment or personal injury, internal adjustments to the
blood pressure module should only be made by a qualified technician.
Warning! Possible Explosion Hazard if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Warning! Check all bloodlines for leaks after the treatment has started. Keep access sites
uncovered and monitored. Improper bloodline connections or needle dislodgements can
result in excessive blood loss, serious injury, and death. Machine alarms may not occur in
every blood loss situation.
Warning! The dialysate path is a closed fluidics system. Discontinue use immediately if a
fluid leak is detected. Do not attempt to administer or continue dialysis treatment with a
machine which has a fluid leak, this could result in excessive fluid removal from the patient
leading to serious injury or death. System leaks may also pose a slip-and-fall hazard. Clean
up spills immediately.
Warning! Replace a leaking bibag disposable immediately. Spills can cause damage to
carpeting and other surfaces. To contain such spills, the machine should be on a spilltolerant surface. Spills can cause slips and falls; clean up spills immediately.
Warning! When using the bibag system, the acid and bicarbonate pressures must not exceed
10 psi when using a Central Delivery System. It may be necessary to use pressure
regulators in order to reach proper conductivity. When not using the bibag system, the
maximum supplied pressure is 2 psi.
Caution: Only the bags manufactured by Fresenius Medical Care may be used in the bibag
connector.
Caution: System leaks may occur. Unattended operation of the machine (for example,
during disinfection at night) may result in flooding and can cause property damage. Clean
up spills immediately.
16 2008T Machine Operator’s Manual P/N 490122 Rev N
General Warnings
Caution: Be careful not to tip the machine when rolling over uneven surfaces. Push the
machine from the middle when moving it.
Caution: Do not squeeze the blood pressure cuff when deflating it. Squeezing the blood
pressure cuff may damage the machine's internal blood pressure module.
Note: The Diasafe Plus filter is required when the bibag system is in use.
Note: A smoke detector should be properly installed in the room used for dialysis. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions. The alarm should be tested according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Replace the battery as specified.
Note: You must follow all environmental regulations regarding waste disposal and eventual
machine disposal. Contact your clinic for more information. Prior to the disposal of your
machine, any possible risk of infection from blood borne pathogens must also be eliminated
by appropriate disinfection.
Note: The temperature of the bloodline and the durometer of the tubing affect the ability of
the bloodline/blood pump system to prime during setup. Cold tubing may not prime as
readily as warm tubing.
Fresenius Medical Care manufactures bloodlines for use with the model 2008T
hemodialysis machine. The performance of bloodlines not manufactured by Fresenius
Medical Care cannot be guaranteed by Fresenius Medical Care and are therefore the
responsibility of the prescribing physician.

Chapter 1
Overview
The 2008T hemodialysis machine is designed to perform hemodialysis in hospitals and
dialysis clinics. It can be used for patients suffering chronic or acute renal failure.
Function of the 2008T Hemodialysis Machine
The 2008T hemodialysis machine is designed to provide hemodialysis treatment by
controlling and monitoring both the dialysate and extracorporeal blood circuits.
In the extracorporeal blood circuit, the blood is continuously circulated from the patient
through a dialyzer, where toxins are filtered out through a semi-permeable membrane, before
being returned to the patient. During this process, the extracorporeal blood circuit is
monitored for venous and arterial blood pressures, and for the presence of air and blood. The
2008T hemodialysis machine can also administer heparin evenly throughout the treatment.
In the dialysate circuit, the dialysate concentrates are mixed with purified water, heated,
degassed, and delivered to the dialyzer. Balancing chambers ensure that the incoming flow
of the dialysate is volumetrically equal to the outgoing flow in order to control ultrafiltration
from the patient.
OVERVIEW
Organization of the 2008T Hemodialysis Machine
The 2008T hemodialysis machine is designed for functional efficiency. The back of the
machine houses the utility connections such as water source, drain, and electrical
connections. By mounting them to the back, the water lines and power cord remain out of the
way during treatment.
The front of the machine contains all of the controls the operator needs access to during
hemodialysis. It can be broken down into three main sections. The top section contains the
control panel and houses the computer that runs the treatment program. The middle section
contains the modules used for the safe transmission of the blood to and from the dialyzer.
Dialysate is the primary concern of the bottom section of the 2008T hemodialysis machine.
Here the concentrates used to make up the dialysate are mixed and pumped to the dialyzer.
The following pages contain front and rear views of the 2008T hemodialysis machine and a
brief description of the machine’s features. You should familiarize yourself with the location
and purpose of these features.

show a variety of treatment screens which the operator uses to set treatment parameters and
monitor the treatment.
The treatment display screen provides a means of setting the treatment parameters and
monitoring the treatment and patient status during dialysis. The operator can access
treatment screens, select the Tx Clock, and set treatment parameters by selecting specific,
identified sites (buttons) on the screen by using the Touchpad cursor or by touching them
directly with the optional Touchscreen. Most numbers and parameters selected on the screen
must then be confirmed by pressing the CONFIRM key on the control panel.

deflated, or instantly deflate the inflated blood pressure cuff.
Note: Certain versions of the blood pressure module require a 30
second delay between blood pressure measurements.
Note: Pressing the Stat/Deflate key while in CDX mode will only exit
CDX mode. The operator must then press the Stat/Deflate key
again in order to take a blood pressure measurement.
Turn the ultrafiltration pump on or off. During ultrafiltration, the green light is
illuminated. This light will flash when ultrafiltration is interrupted.
Note: When the UF pump is turned off, there is no “minimum”
ultrafiltration occurring.
Prime the extracorporeal blood circuit. Pressing Prime will keep the blood
pump running when air is sensed in the venous blood chamber and an air
detector alarm is present (as is the case during initial set up when the blood
circuit tubing is empty). The pump will run for:
Two minutes, or
Until an adequate fluid level is detected by the ultrasonic sensors in the level
detector module, or
Until the volume set in Service Mode is reached.
Note: Pressing any control panel key (except for the Power key) while in CDX Mode (if
available) will switch the machine back to Dialysis Mode. See Appendix B on page 233 for
more information on CDX Mode.

Treatment Display Section
Chapter 1—Overview
OVERVIEW
Figure 5 – Treatment Display Section
The Treatment Display section is used to access and set all treatment parameters. It is
organized into three subsections: the status light, the treatment display screen, and the screen
access buttons.
The Status Light, located at the top, indicates the machine’s status with an illuminated dome.
Its color matches the Status Box (see Figure 5). The lights (red, green, or yellow) are used to
display status information. This allows clinic personnel to monitor the status of each 2008T
hemodialysis machine from a distance during treatment. There are several selections for
meaning of the lights described in the Available Software & Hardware Treatment Options,
page 260.
The treatment screen display contains the area for viewing the various treatment screens. The
screen access buttons below the display area are used to access the various treatment screens.

Chapter 1—Overview
OVERVIEW
The Status Box appears at the top left corner of every treatment screen. During normal
operation it displays the operational mode of the machine—Dialysis. During alarm
situations, it displays an informational message. It may also prompt the operator for a
specific action in situations when the treatment parameters are being set.
To the right of the Status Box, is the Dialogue Box. During normal treatment, the Dialogue
Box displays the current time, the time of the last blood pressure reading and the patient’s
blood pressure and pulse rate at that time.
When attempting to enter a treatment parameter that is outside the range of allowable limits,
the Dialogue Box displays an advisory message.
