WARNINGS
Shock hazard. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
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. Always fully test the machine when maintenance is
completed. Confirm dialysate conductivity and pH level before
returning the machine to clinical use.
The electrical source must be 120 volts, 60 Hz, single phase.

The outlet must be a three-conductor type with a hospital-grade
receptacle and a ground fault interrupter. Test the polarity and
ground integrity before installation and ensure it is maintained
thereafter. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock to the
operator or patient.
Calibration procedures must be performed using primary

standards or by using standards that are regularly calibrated in a
program traceable to the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (National Bureau of Standards).
Calibrate the Level Detector module for the model of venous line
being used. During calibration ensure the filter inside the drip
chamber is below the sensor heads. Also verify that the venous
clamp fully occludes the line when closed.
Failure to install, operate and maintain this equipment according

to the manufacturer’s instructions may cause injury or death to
the patient or the operator.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Calibration involves doing two things. One is making mechanical adjustments,
both to the hydraulics and to the electronics. The other part of calibration is
storing data in the electronic memory in the machine. The machine uses an
EEPROM, which stores calibration data until it is purposely erased and replaced
with new data. To store new data in the EEPROM, the machine is operated in
Service mode as described in Section 1.2. Service mode also shows important
data that is needed to make some of the mechanical adjustments.
Perform the calibration procedures only when needed following repairs, or if the
machine fails the performance tests included in the Preventive Maintenance
Procedures. Do not re-calibrate the machine routinely to verify normal operation.
Instead, use the performance tests included in the Preventive Maintenance
procedures to ensure the machine is working properly.
If the machine behaves erratically during calibration, perform the Preventive

Maintenance procedures. Clogged filters, leaky O-rings and similar items
routinely corrected during Preventive Maintenance are a common cause of
intermittent problems. When preparing to re-calibrate the Blood Leak Detector,
either perform a bleach rinse first or verify that it has been done recently. The
bleach rinse is required to clean the detector tube.
 Warning! Once a chemical rinse is performed, the only selection the machine
will allow is a mandatory rinse. This information is stored on the functional
board. Therefore, if the functional board and EEPROM are swapped out
together when troubleshooting a calibration or machine problem, the machine
must be rinsed prior to releasing it back into service.

1.1 TEST EQUIPMENT NEEDED
The following supplies and test equipment are required to perform the calibration
procedures.
 Warning! Test equipment used must be maintained and/or calibrated per the test
equipment manufacturer’s requirements. In particular, the dialysate meter must
meet the specifications listed below. Refer to the test equipment's' operator's
manual, or contact the manufacturer for calibration and maintenance requirements.
Failure to properly maintain and calibrate test equipment could lead to improper
calibration and/or failure of the device to meet its specifications.
 Fresenius Test Kit (Fresenius part number 150034), which contains two
gauges with fittings and hoses for measuring loading pressure and
deaeration pressure.
 Fresenius test connectors containing precision resistors that simulate the

thermistor resistance at various temperatures (Fresenius part number 190060).
 Dialysate meter to measure dialysate pressure, temperature and conductivity

at the ends of the dialysate lines. The meter must be capable of making
pressure measurements of from -250 mmHg to +400 mmHg with an
accuracy of at least ±2 mmHg up to ±200 mmHg and an accuracy of at least
1% and ±1 mmHg beyond ±200 mmHg. The temperature function of this
meter must be accurate within 0.2°C from 20°C to 45°C and must be
capable of measuring dialysate temperatures up to 85°C with an accuracy of
at least ±4.0°C. The conductivity function of this meter must be accurate to
within 0.1 mS over a range of 12 mS to 17 mS at a temperature of 25°C.
 Stopwatch with a resolution to 0.01 second and an accuracy of 0.01% or

better.
 Fresenius Buret, 25ml capacity with 0.1ml graduations (Fresenius part

1.2 OPERATING MODES

The following calibration procedures contain instructions to place the 2008K2 into
Dialysis Mode and Service Mode.
To place the machine in Service Mode, turn the machine power On and wait for
the message Press CONFIRM for Service Mode to appear. Once it appears,
press the [CONFIRM] key and the message will change to Machine in Service
Mode. After the System Initializing process is complete, the machine will be in
Service Mode.
If the [CONFIRM] key is not pressed when the Press CONFIRM for Service

P/N 508137 Rev. E
Upon power up in Service Mode, the following screen will appear on the front
panel display:
Choose a calibration by selecting1 the appropriate screen key directly below the
calibration button. A second row of buttons will appear above the first.
 Note: Calibration procedures that have a red button must be completed before
the machine will operate in Dialysis mode.
Select1 the desired calibration, then press the [CONFIRM] key to begin the
procedure.
 Caution: Once a calibration procedure is begun, pressing the [CONFIRM] key

usually updates the calibration data in the EEPROM. Be careful not to press the
[CONFIRM] key unless you want to change the calibration data. To leave a
calibration procedure without changing the data in the EEPROM, press the
[Escape] key.
A safety feature in the machine helps prevent mis-calibration. If a calibration

value outside of acceptable limits is entered, the machine will reject the
calibration data and the message OPERATOR ERROR will appear on the
display screen. The data stored in the EEPROM will not be changed if this
message appears.

Screen Operation
The screen is designed to display information and is used to enter data. The
following describes the type of buttons and data boxes that will be encountered
during the calibration process.
Data Button
A yellow data button is used during calibration to enter a
measured volume or value. When the yellow area of the data
button is highlighted and the [CONFIRM] key is pressed, it will
change to a darker yellow. The data can be changed using the
[] and [▬] data entry keys or the value can be entered using the
number keys both on the control panel. Once the data is
entered, press the [CONFIRM] key and the data button changes
back to light yellow. The [Escape] key can be pressed when
the data button is dark yellow to abort the data entry and return
it to light yellow. The entered data does not get stored until the
[CONFIRM] key is pressed. A gray data button means the
button is not active.
Screen Button (screen key)

The bottom row of blue screen buttons are selected by pressing
the corresponding screen key directly below the screen button.
By pressing a screen key, the screen will change to the selected
screen directly without pressing the [CONFIRM] key. If data
entry, option change, or menu selection is in process when a
screen key is pressed, a message requiring the operator to press
the [Escape] key or the [CONFIRM] key is displayed instead
of changing screens.
Screen Button (screen change)
Some screen buttons that change screens are not part of the
bottom row of the display. To use this type of screen button it
must be highlighted first. Use the navigation keys ([],[],[◄],
and [►]) to highlight the desired screen button then press the
[CONFIRM] key. The screen will change.
A screen button is not active if it is gray.
Page 7
® 2
P/N 508137 Rev. E
Screen Button (menu selection)
Some screen buttons will display a menu of choices. To display the menu, use the
navigation keys ([],[],[◄], and [►]) to highlight the screen button and press the
[CONFIRM] key. The menu will be displayed with the current selection highlighted.
Use the [] and [▬] data entry keys to scroll the menu list and highlight a new
selection. Once a new selection is highlighted, press the [CONFIRM] key and the
selection is stored and the menu list disappears. If, after the menu is displayed, a new
selection is not required, press the [Escape] key to keep the current selection and
make the menu disappear.
If a screen change is required while a menu is being displayed, the operator is

prompted to press either the [Escape] key or the [CONFIRM] key.
Data Box
This type of box shows selected data or data the
machine is measuring. During the calibration process
this type of box is used to verify a value or selection.

1.4 MEASURING FLUID VOLUMES
Several of the following procedures require measuring fluid volumes using
graduated cylinders and laboratory burets. When making these measurements do
the following:
 Make 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.
 Ensure 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.
 Surface tension causes the fluid to curve into a meniscus (see Figure 3).
Measure the volume at the bottom of the meniscus curve as shown.

2.2.1 ARTERIAL PRESSURE CALIBRATION
The arterial blood pump does not use potentiometers to calibrate the arterial pressure.
Instead, it stores a value in the blood pump. In order to calibrate the arterial pressure,
the pump must be put into its own service mode. This is done by moving the Service
Jumper located on the blood pump LP955 board. Refer to Figure 5 for location and
positioning of the Service Jumper.
 Note: The DIP switches and Service Jumper on the blood pump must be set
prior to turning the machine ON.

3.0 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES NOT PERFORMED IN SERVICE MODE
The following procedures are performed with the machine in normal (not Service
mode) operation (see Section 1.2).
 Caution: If your machine is equipped a Service Switch on the back of the

Monitor Control Unit, verify that the machine power is Off before changing the
position of this switch. Failure to do so may cause calibration data to be lost.
3.1 INLET WATER PRESSURE REGULATOR CALIBRATION

1. Turn off the machine.
2. Shut off the water supply to the machine.
3. Insert a pressure gauge in the water line at the outlet of water inlet pressure
regulator #61 (See Figure 1, pg. 5).
 Caution: Use tie wraps or tubing clamps to secure the connections. The water
pressure may be sufficient to blow the lines off of the gauge if they are not
secured.
4. Turn the water supply to the machine On.
5. Turn the machine On.
6. With the dialysate lines in the shunt, select Dialysis mode and start the
dialysate flow. The pressure gauge will cycle between two readings as
water inlet valve opens and closes.
Page 68
® 2
P/N 508137 Rev. E
7. On regulator #61, loosen the lock nut around the adjustment screw (See
Figure 1, pg. 5). Use a 5mm Allen wrench to adjust the regulator for a peak
pressure of between 18 and 20 psi when water inlet valve 41 is closed.
 Note: The gauge must indicate a minimum pressure greater than 8 psi
when valve 41 is open. If not, the treated water supply may not meet
specifications for flow and pressure.
8. Tighten the lock nut and verify the peak pressure is still between 18 and 20 psi
on the gauge.
9. Turn the machine Off, turn off the source water supply, remove the gauge
and reconnect the tubing using clamps to prevent leaks.
10. Turn the treated water supply source On, turn the machine On and select1
Dialysis mode. Start dialysate flow and inspect all hoses and connections
for leaks.

3.2 LEVEL DETECTOR CALIBRATION
1. Place the machine in Dialysis mode and clear all blood alarms.
2. Insert a venous chamber filled with warm water into the level detector.
 Warning! For accurate calibration, use a venous chamber identical to that

normally used in the machine.
3. Move the jumper on the LP241/LP450 board to the Calibrate position

(see Figure 8).
4. Observe the Channel 1 LED (see Figure 8). If the LED is On, turn channel
1 potentiometer (see Figure 8) clockwise until the LED turns off.
5. Slowly turn channel 1 potentiometer counter-clockwise until the channel 1

LED switches on. Stop turning immediately, just past the point where the
LED lights.
6. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for the Channel 2 LED, adjusting channel 2

potentiometer (see Figure 8). The response of channel 2 is slower than
channel 1. When adjusting to the switch point, move the potentiometer in
small steps and wait to see if the LED switches on.
7. Move the jumper back to the Normal position (see Figure 8).
8. Press the [RESET] key to clear the alarm and check that both LED’s are
off, indicating that the Level Detector is sensing no air present in the
venous chamber.
9. Remove the venous chamber and watch the LED’s. Verify that channel 1
lights first followed quickly by channel 2.
 Note: Channel 1 stops the blood pump and Channel 2 clamps the venous
blood line.

3.3 BLOOD PUMP CALIBRATION
The speed control circuit on a 2008K2 blood pump consists of a feedback circuit
that monitors the motor speed and automatically adjusts to compensate for any
speed fluctuations. There are no adjustments or calibrations on this circuit.
