General Guidelines:

1) Make sure that the following errors / alarms are not present before
running the T1 test.
a) Power Failure
b) Dialines not conn
c) Shunt cover open
d) Connect conc.Line
e) Blood sensed by OD
f) Flow alarm
g) Water alarm

2) When T1 test fails, press Test key again and note the displayed error
code before proceeding to technical manual for further clues.

3) If more than 1 test fails select Test Service ON (PCB LP 632 DIP switch
array 1, SW 4 ON) & do the test individually to get the error codes of the
concerned test fail.

Test Equipments:

a) Hemodialysis tester
b) Pressure guage
c) Graduated Measuring jar (100ml, 1000ml)
d) Flashlight.
e) Digital multimeter

Pressure Units:

1Bar = 14.5 psi =749.94mmHg

The Order of Troubleshooting :

1) Water Alarms
2) Flow Alarms
3) Upper Flow Alarm
4) Temperature
5) Conductivity
6) Blood Leak
7) Pressure Holding Test Failures.
8) TMP Continuous Alarms
9) Hydraulic Test Fails
10) Blood Pump Errors / Level Detector Alarms /Arterial Alarms/
Venous Alarms /Heparin Pump Errors/ Diasafe Errors
11) Ultra Filtration Errors
12) Battery Fail
