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 manualfor 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
