1.1
Important while reading the operator’s manual
1.1.1
About this operator´s manual This operator’s manual provides instructions necessary for the proper operation of the AK 98 dialysis machine. It is not a guide for the administration of haemodialysis.
1.1.2
Safety definitions Warning WARNING! A warning alerts the reader about a situation which, if not avoided, could result in an adverse reaction, injury or death. Caution CAUTION! A caution alerts the reader about a situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury to the user or patient or damage to the equipment or other property. Note NOTE! Notes are added to give more information.
1.1.3
Values and settings Parameter values are set by the operator. For example treatment time and some alarm limits. See Section 1.1.5 “About the screen” on page A:11. All values and settings in this operator’s manual are default values, which are set when the dialysis machine is manufactured. Check with the authorised service technician responsible for installing the dialysis machine if there are any values that are changed from the default settings. Preset When this symbol appears in the manual text, it indicates the possibility to preset the value of a parameter. Such a preset is done to adapt the settings of the machine to correspond with the routines of the user/clinic or specific patient prescription. A preset change shall always be done by an authorised service technician. For example, it is possible to preset the machine for which mode to start up in, some alarm limits, some functions and options. An authorised service technician shall, together with the user, confirm that the presets have been properly set.
1.1.4
Buttons The buttons on the operator's panel, to the right of the screen, light up in different situations to guide the operator or to inform of actual status. See Figure 1-1 “The operator´s panel” on page A:11. The illustrations in the handling instructions do not normally show if the button is lit or unlit; the button figures are the same for lit, flashing and unlit buttons. The buttons on the screen can be lit, disabled or flashing depending on the status and action but in this manual this state of the button is not reflected in the text or picture.

General warning and precautions before use
1.2.1
General precautions before use WARNING! Unauthorised modifications, alterations or repair and lack of maintenance or calibration of the AK 98 dialysis machine may result in malfunctioning or have other serious consequences for the safe operation of the equipment. WARNING! The mains power cable from the AK 98 dialysis machine (cable length is 3.5 metres) shall be connected to a socket with protected earth (PE) to avoid risk of electrical shock. WARNING! To minimise the risk of arrhythmia due to leakage currents when a central venous catheter is used, and the tip of the catheter is close to the heart, it is necessary to connect the potential equalisation conductor between the AK 98 dialysis machine and the potential equalisation busbar in the electrical installation. WARNING! To minimise the risk of arrhythmia due to leakage currents from other electrical equipment when a central venous catheter is used, and the tip of the catheter is close to the heart, any equipment within the patient area shall have leakage current values below respective limit required by CF type applied parts. WARNING! To protect the children, never leave children unattended near the dialysis machine, its chemicals, disposables or accessories. WARNING! To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth. WARNING! Never use multiple socket-outlet when connecting the dialysis machine or WRO 300 to mains supply since it might lead to too high leakage currents during fault conditions. WARNING! Do not use the AK 98 dialysis machine adjacent to or stacked with other equipment, other than specified by the manufacturer. WARNING! Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation. WARNING! Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) shall not be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the ME EQUIPMENT, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could be the result.

Leakage current and potential equalisation connection Definitions
1.2.4
Leakage current
Electrical current that leaks out of the intended circuit or current that is not functional.
Potential equalisation connection
A connection between the potential equalisation connector of the machine and the potential equalisation busbar of the electrical installation using a potential equalisation conductor. This connection shall be additional to the protective earth connection.
Treatment location The user must make sure that the location where the AK 98 dialysis machine is installed, including the patient environment, is suitable for dialysis treatment. The location shall be maintained at a hygienic standard suitable for dialysis treatment and kept free from pets and pests. The dialysis treatment shall not be performed in proximity to high-powered ME EQUIPMENT. Any other electrical equipment used in the patient environment shall be marked with:
Any other electrical equipment not having this mark shall be located outside the patient environment. A potential equalisation connection has to be used when it is legally required.
1.2.5
Central venous catheter If a central venous catheter is used during treatment with the tip of the catheter close to the heart a potential equalisation connection must be used.
1.2.6
Connection of external electrical equipment The AK 98 dialysis machine is equipped with three interface contacts on the back side; a 25 pole D-Sub, a USB and an Ethernet connector. These connectors shall only be used by an authorised service technician. All other use is prohibited.
1.2.7
How to move the AK 98 dialysis machine Always use the transportation handle when moving the dialysis machine. Take a firm hold on the transportation handle and gently pull the device over a step, do not push. Make sure the brakes are released before moving the dialysis machine. WARNING! If a remote Operator's Panel has been installed, fluid bags shall be removed from the infusion stand when transporting (moving) the machine to avoid overbalance. The fluid bags may be placed on the top tray. CAUTION! Do not move the dialysis machine during a treatment.
