INTRODUCTION
Responsible Organization
The Responsible Organization assumes the following responsibilities:
Compliance with the national or local installation, operation, use and
maintenance regulations;
Respect of the accident prevention regulations;
Correct and safe state of the system;
Permanent availability of the Operating Instructions.
User Group
The User Group is the personnel, identified by the Responsible Organization, as adequate to operate
and use the Artis Dialysis System according to the procedures described in the Operator’s Manual.
Spare Parts
The Manufacturer will maintain spare parts availability for ten years after the end of production of the
Artis Dialysis System. At the end of that time the involved product is considered obsolete and therefore it
must be disposed of according to local applicable regulations. The final user will be informed about spare
parts that are no longer available through the tecnical service or the commercial representative.
The Manufacturer will make available on request circuit diagrams, component part lists, descriptions or
other information that will assist service personnel.
For questions, ask for information from the Local Representative.
Dialysis and Substitution/Infusion Fluids

The Artis Dialysis System prepares ultrapure dialysis fluid by means of two filtration steps:
1. Ultrafiltration of inlet water which prevents bacterial contamination of the interior of the machine.
2.Ultrafiltration of the dialysis fluid through the dialysis fluid filter which removes possible bacteria
and endotoxins originating from the concentrates.
For on-line preparation of the substitution fluid (for HDF/HF Treatments) and of the infusion fluid (for HD
treatment) a third step is added:
3. Filtration of ultrapure dialysis fluid in a single sterile filter.
Inlet Water requirements

The chemical and microbiological properties of the water can contribute to achieve and maintain the
proper quality of dialysis fluid.
The water quality depends on the technical water supply system. It is very important to properly
maintain the water supply system and the water distribution loop.
The inlet water must comply with valid quality standards for water for dialysis (refer to the “ Chapter 13.
SPECIFICATIONS” of this service manual).
To improve the microbiologic water quality, a water ultrafilter designed for this purpose performs
ultrafiltration of the inlet water before it is used to prepare dialysis fluid.
Code SM_9033239200_0I Rev. / xxi

Dialysis Fluid for HD, HDF and HF Treatments

Artis Dialysis System prepares dialysis fluid from treated water and concentrates.
The dialysis fluid can be made using:
• dry concentrates (such as the BiCart Select system products);
• a liquid A-concentrate and a dry bicarbonate concentrate (such as the BiCart Cartridge);
For further details refer to the "Concentrates, Accessories and Disposables Accessories" section below.
The prepared dialysis fluid is filtered by a second ultrafilter which ensures an ultrapure dialysis fluid.
Both these ultrafilters are placed on the rear of the Artis Dialysis System.
On-line substitution/infusion fluid for HD, HDF and HF Treatments

The Artis Dialysis System’s on-line preparation of substitution/infusion fluid is based on the final
filtration of the ultrapure dialysis fluid with a single-use filter which ensures a sterile path from last filtration
step to the point of infusion, allowing an adequate bacterial and endotoxin retention for direct injection into
patient’s blood.
On-line preparation of substitution/infusion fluid requires a certain disinfection routine of the machine.
For further details refer to “Chapter: Disinfection/Rinse/Cleaning” of the Operator’s Manual.
The ultrafilters must be disinfected, changed and otherwise handled in a correct way to ensure required
efficiency. (Refer to the “Chapter: Special Procedures” of the Operator’s Manual and the package insert of
the ultrafilters).
Dialysis Fluid and infusion flow for AFB K Treatment

AFB and AFB K Treatments, due to the absence of acetate, the use of the bioactive membrane
(Evodial) and the Potassium profiling, can limit the onset of cardiovascular risk factors as well as
electrolyte disorders, acid-base imbalance, inflammatory processes including oxidative stress,
dyslipidaemia, hyperhomocysteinaemia, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and cardiac arrhythmias.
The Acetate-Free Biofiltration (AFB) is a low-volume Hemodiafiltration Treatment, characterised by the
total absence of any buffer in the dialysis fluid (Safebag KV concentrate solution, no acetate) and by the
continuous infusion of a sterile solution of sodium bicarbonate (Hospasol infusion bag) in post-dilution
mode.
The AFB K treatment is an AFB therapy which allows the controlled delivery of potassium ion
concentration in the dialysis fluid. Two modes of treatment are allowed:
• K Constant mode
• K Profile mode
K Constant Mode
AFB K treatment in K Constant mode allows to set a constant value of potassium (K+) concentration in
the dialysis fluid. The large range of settable values and the possibility of changing from one to another
profile during the treatment, shall become the new gold standard of safety and personalization avoiding the
use of K+ concentrate solution.
K Profile Mode
AFB K treatment in K Profile mode allows to automatically deliver the K+ concentration, according to a
potassium profile exponential shape curve, aiding a gradual removal of potassium in hypercaliemic
patients, often subjected to the so-called electrolytic imbalance syndrome
xxii Code SM_9033239200_0I Rev. /

INTRODUCTION
NOTE
Refer to the Artis AFB K Treatment Operator’s Manual for details on the AFB K machine
configuration and on the AFB K Treatment procedures.
Alarms related to the AFB K Treatment are described both in this Service Manual and in
the Artis AFB K Service Manual.
NOTE
In order to perform the AFB K Treatment, the Artis Dialysis System must have the proper
hardware and software machine configuration.
Ultrafilters, frequency of change

It is recommended to replace the U9000 ultrafilters following the instructions provided in the U9000
Ultrafilter Instruction for use.
U9000 Ultrafilters can not tolerate more than twelve Chemical Disinfection programs with Hypochlorite.
U9000 Ultrafilters must be changed when the maximum allowed number of chemical disinfection
programs with hypochlorite has been performed.
For instructions on how to change the ultrafilters, refer to the “Chapter. Special Procedures” of the
Operator’s Manual.

xxvi Code SM_9033239200_0I Rev. /

INTRODUCTION
This may lead to improper dialysis to be delivered to the patient, thus resulting in patient injury
or death.
5. After a “BLD Sensitivity Loss (#170)” alarm perform a Chemical Disinfection program before
starting a new treatment.
6. The “DIALYSATE PH LOW (#368)” alarm could be triggered in case a chemical disinfectant
has been used instead of Acid concentrate during a dialysis treatment.
or death.
7. The “A Concentrate Error (Acid/SelectCart/Safebag) (#369)” alarm could be triggered in case a

chemical disinfectant has been used instead of Acid concentrate during a dialysis treatment.
or death.
8. If both the Acustical Buzzer T1 Test and the Acustical Speaker T1 Test fail (both the auditory
signal sources are malfunctioning), a malfunction occurs so that it is not possible to use the
Artis Dialysis System. In this case, call for Service Technician.
If only one of the T1 Tests fails (only one of the auditory signal source is malfunctioning), it is
the operator’s responsibility to decide whether to proceed with the current treatment after
having checked that the machine is able to sound properly. Also in this case, call for Service
Technician to troubleshoot the problem as soon as possible.
9. When this alarm is triggered, the Chemical Disinfection process has not been correctly
performed because the disinfectant tank is empty.
Repeat the Chemical Disinfection process using a tank containing enough disinfectant
solution.
10. When the "Arterial Chamber: Level Adjustment Required (#642)" alarm occurs, check the
blood level in the Arterial chamber while the Arterial pump is still stopped.
Figure 1 Figure 2
• If the blood level is below the frosted line, as shown in Figure 1, proceed with alarm
troubleshooting to adjust the Arterial chamber level.
Incorrect blood level may result in microbubbles smaller than 20 µ L reaching the patient
increasing the risk of air embolism.
Code SM_9033239200_0I Rev. / xxvii

• If the blood level is above the frosted line, as shown in Figure 2, grease the Pressure
Transducers at the end of the treatment as described in the “13.13 Cassette Panel O-
Rings Inspection and Greasing” section of the Operator’s Manual.
Improper greasing of Pressure Transducers may result in wrong arterial pressure
measurements caused by ineffective Pressure Transducer and cassette coupling.

port) on the rear panel of the machine and the patient simultaneously.
14. The dialysis facility is responsible for the microbiologic quality of delivery systems, such as:
- Central water supply system,
- Concentrate delivery systems,
- Fluid lines (i.e. inlet water line, concentrate lines) and their connectors from the delivery
systems to the Artis Dialysis System.
Failure to maintain the microbiologic quality of these delivery systems may increase the risk of
infection.
In addition, it is responsibility of the dialysis facility to ensure that the chemical disinfection
protocol of central water supply system and central concentrate supply system is performed
only when the Artis Dialysis System is not connected to these delivery systems (i.e
hydraulically isolated).
15. Do not assemble, install or use the Artis Dialysis System before having carefully read this
service manual.
16. Concentrates which conform to the requirements of the ISO 13958 Standard shall be used.
The control of alarm threshold and dialysis fluid conductivity precision is of major medical
importance in ensuring a safe dialysis treatment.
Code SM_9033239200_0I Rev. / xxix

18. If pH supervision is not available on your machine, possible user error leading to the presence
of hypochlorite in the hydraulic circuit can not be detected by the Artis Dialysis System. Using
improper fluid in the dialysis fluid circuit may lead to improper dialysis to be delivered to the
patient, thus resulting in patient injury or death.
Carefully consider your dialysis facility practises and policies regarding the use of disinfectants
to decide about the availability of pH supervision on your Artis Dialysis System.
19. Carefully read the BiCart Cartridge Instructions for Use before using the concentrate
disposable.
Refer to the Artis Operator’s Manual for the procedures related to the use of the BiCart
Cartridge with the Artis Dialysis System.
20. Contact with cleaning and/or disinfection chemicals may pose a risk of burns, skin irritation or
other adverse reactions. Always follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions when handling
these products or cleaning spills.
21. To prevent damaging the machine, do not leave disinfectant solutions in the machine for
periods over the following limits:
• 20 min for Sodium Hypochlorite based solutions at Disinfectant strength (Max. 0.2%
concentration)
• 20 min for Citric Acid based solutions at Disinfectant strength (Max. 2% concentration)
• 20 min for Sodium Carbonate based solution at Disinfectant strength (Max. 0.5%
concentration)
• 72 hours for Peracetic Acid based solutions at Disinfectant strength (Max. 0.10%
concentration)
22. After a Chemical Disinfection program, a test for residuals of disinfectant must be performed
before the following patient connection to avoid the risk of blood hemolysis due to the
exposure of the patient to the chemical residues.
23. The use of the Blood Cassettes designed for Artis Dialysis System has been tested and
validated to provide safe and proper functioning of the system.
24. The appropriate Dialyzer and Blood Tubing System must be selected according to the patient’s
size and weight and to the treatment type. The decision must be taken by a physician.
Before installing Gambro/Hospal Dialyzers and Blood Tubing System carefully read the related
Instructions for Use.
25. This service manual contains a number of references to accessories and disposables for use
with Artis Dialysis System. The Artis Dialysis System has been tested and validated for use
with accessories and disposables listed in this manual. The manufacturer has not validated the
use of accessories or disposables other than those specified in this manual. The Manufacturer
does not accept responsibility or liability for use of accessories or disposables other than those
specified in this manual. Depending on the circumstances, use of accessories or disposables
other than those specified may also reduce the Manufacturer’s warranties for the Artis Dialysis
System.
26. The Manufacturer recommends the use of a dialyzer with dialysis fluid and blood connections
that comply with ISO 8637.
27. Be aware that performing the treatment at extremely negative pre-pump Arterial Pressure
(lower than -150 mmHg) will reduce the blood flow. This can result in reduced treatment
effectiveness.Pre-pump Arterial Pressure is the pressure measured by the Arterial Pressure
Sensor.
28. A dedicated alarm (Low Blood Pump Speed #204) exists in order to avoid blood loss due to
coagulation resulting from interruption of blood flow.

INTRODUCTION
29. These diameters have been taken from samples from many countries and are correct at the
time of printing. However, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for changes in syringe
dimensions that may occur. The user should periodically check the correlation between the
stated and the actual diameters.
30. DO NOT USE syringes without luer lock connection.
31. The syringe infusion pump described above must be used ONLY for the infusion of heparin.
32. Monitoring of the Venous Pressure could not always detect the disconnection of a venous
needle from its access site, which may result in extracorporeal blood loss to the environment.
When a venous needle disconnects from its access, pressure at the venous monitoring side
may only decrease by the pressure maintained within the patient’s vascular access. This
pressure drop may be less than the width of the machine’s venous pressure alarm window: in
this particular case the disconnection of a venous needle from its access site is not detectable
by the machine, even if pressure alarms and alarm windows are properly set.
To reduce the risk of needles disconnection:
• ensure that venous needle and line are firmly secured to the access site area according
to your clinic’s protocol;
• ensure that the patient’s access is visible at all times during the dialysis treatment;
• inspect frequently the patient’s access;
• adjust properly the venous pressure alarm window: the venous pressure alarm lower
limit should be set as closely as practical to the actual patient’s venous pressure value
without generating excessive nuisance alarms.
Chapter 14: IT-Network Specifications

1. Before connecting the Artis Dialysis System to an Ethernet network, the Responsible
Organization must ensure that the network is dedicated or adequately segregated. Artis
Dialysis System can be only connected to external devices aiming at exchanging Artis clinical/
technical data. The Responsible Organization shall properly configure the network in order to
satisfy the segregation requirement according to the instruction provided in this manual.
Gambro declines any responsibility or liability related to machine malfunction or missing or
incorrect Data transferred caused by an incorrect network configuration.
Chapter 15: Hydraulic Phase Description

1. DO NOT remove any connector during a Heat or a Heat Disinfection with CleanCart Cartridge

1.3.2 Black Box

Black Box is the device that holds trace of all the actions done by the operator on the Artis Dialysis
System (asynchronous events) and to sample a preset number of significant parameters with a certain
frequency (synchronous events).
The Black Box does not keep trace of not standard events, like log messages or not formatted binary
information.
It is always active when the Artis Dialysis System is running.
NOTE
After a new configuration of the Black Box it is mandatory to restart the machine.
Black Box primary goals
• to save asynchronous events (operator actions, alarm activations);

• to save synchronous events during treatments and processes (triggered by a timer);
• for each event to create a record containing an event description and a subset of machine parameters;
• for each Dialysis session to create a binary file containing the correspondent records;
• give the possibility to an external tool to retrieve the saved sessions;
• set some internal parameters by reading a configuration file.
Events are organized in sessions, one session corresponds to one file. A session is intended to start
when a Dialysis treatment begins and to stop with the start of the next one. The recordings correspondent
to each session are stored in a binary file.
Black Box Session File
The Black Box session files are created and stored in the Compact Flash folder “C:\blackbox” with a
name created according to the following format:
BBnn(IBBox)_ddmmyy_hhmm_BBoxRecorderId_SerialNumber.dat
• BB normal session starting with a dialysis treatment
• nn progressive ID of the session (it recycles from 1 to 24)
• IBBox session started at the startup if no old session was found or in case of manually
closure of a session
• ddmmyy date (day, month, year)
• hhmm time of the session start (hour, minute)
• BBoxRecorderId a unique number that identifies the created session
• SerialNumber serial number of the machine
The session files can be transferred to the external tool using a FTP connection or a USB device.
The maximum number of the sessions is 24, because the maximum capacity of the Black Box is of 24
MB, the sessions number and size combinations can be configurate as follows:
• 24 sessions of max 1 MB
Code SM_9033239200_01 Rev. / 1-33

NOTE
The total size of the sessions cannot be over 24 MB.
The access to the Black Box screen is available under the Report Screen.
It allows performing operations as:

• close the current session
• save all the closed sessions on the USB device
• upload of a new configuration from the USB device, only if the configuration was prepared by the same
software version
1-34 Code SM_9033239200_01 Rev. /

NOTE
Black Box manager is the only way to interface with the Black Box of the machine.
NOTE
Each time the machine is switched OFF and then switched ON again, the BlackBox recorder
automatically restart. In case of a Power Failure with battery backup not charged, the BlackBox
recorder could not be able to keep track of the data occurred within the last ten minutes.
NOTE
In case the maximum session size is reached, the system starts to overwrite the previous sessions
and the information will be lost.
NOTE
It is recommended to download the Black Box sessions from the machine using FTP or USB device.

1.5 Blood Circuit Description

The machine blood system includes the following components:
• Pressure Transducers
• Cassette presence sensors
• Arterial and Venous Pumps
• Arterial and Venous pump covers
• Air Detector
• Blood Sensor
• Line Presence Sensors
• Hemoscan Sensor
• Arterial and Venous Line Clamps
• Arterial and Venous Line Clamps sensors
• Heparin Pump
1.5.1 Pressure transducers

Pressure Transducers are bridge sensors that measure the pressure in the cassette chambers.
There are three different Pressure Transducers:
• Blue and red sensors read the arterial and venous pressure in the cassette chambers.
• White: reads the SN pressure in the Post-Dialyzer Expansion Chamber in the SN cassette.
The arterial pressure sensor monitors pressure conditions in the blood line, drawing blood from the
patient. It is on the inlet side of the arterial pump and normally monitors the suction pressure generated by
the arterial pump. Typically, this pressure is negative during the treatment.
The venous pressure sensor monitors the blood line returning blood to the patient. It is on the outlet
side of the dialyzer and normally monitors the blood pressure in the blood cassette that goes back to the
patient after its transfer through the dialyzer. This pressure is positive during the treatment and is
determined by the vascular access, the needle size, and the blood pump speed.
The SN pressure sensor, during a Single-Needle Double Pump treatment, it monitors the Post-Dialyzer
pressure, before the Venous Pump. It is therefore used to activate the Venous Pump to return the blood to
the patient when the measured pressure reaches the value set by the operator as “Max SN Pressure”.
1.5.2 Arterial and Venous Pumps

The arterial pump is a peristaltic pump that pumps the patient’s blood from the arterial line to the dialyzer.
The venous pump is a peristaltic pump that pumps blood from the dialyzer to the venous line to the
patient during HD-SN treatment.
The blood pumps have the encoders that give feedback of the motor’s speed and to the blood slave
board. Due to this feedback no blood pump rate calibration is required.
1.5.3 Arterial and Venous pump covers

The Arterial and Venous Covers protect the Users form the Arterial and Venous Rotors when the
machine is operating.
On the bottom outside corner of the Covers, there is a magnet which is attracted by another magnet
positioned behind the Front Panel. Their purpose is to hold the Covers in the close position.
On the Arterial and Venous Covers, there is a magnet that is detected by a Hall sensor positioned
directly behind the Front Panel. This sensor will immediately inform the operator if the covers are not
securely closed and the venous and arterial pump will not run. With the arterial and venous pump covers
closed, the Hall sensor device reads magnetic flux of the magnet in the door and will allow the arterial and
venous pumps to run.
The Arterial and Venous Cover Position sensors are connected to the board which detects the Magnets
of the Pumps Rotor. The signals are then transferred to the Blood Pump Board and then to the
1-38 Code SM_9033239200_01 Rev. /

motherboard.
The system generates a “BLOOD PUMP COVER OPEN #8” alarm message whenever the arterial and
venous covers are open. If the covers are OPEN while the arterial and venous pumps are running the
pumps will stop and all arterial and venous pump controls will be disabled. The arterial and venous covers
must be closed to re-enable pumps functions.
The status of the Arterial and Venous Covers signals can be seen on the Service Screen Pages
indicating when the arterial and venous covers are sensed open or closed. The voltage output of the Hall
sensor is approximately 5 volts when the covers are open and approximately 0 volts when the covers are
closed.
1.5.4 Air detector

The housing that holds the air detector assembly also holds the Blood Sensor and the line presence
sensor. The air detector is managed by the PIB Board and the protective module, is an ultrasonic device
that detects macro and micro air in fluid/blood within the venous line. It can detect if there is a bubble that is
20 microlitres or larger. If a bubble of this size passes the receiver signal will drop which results in an “AIR
IN VENOUS LINE” #4 alarm. When the arterial pump is on and air is detected, the arterial pump stops and
the venous line clamp immediately closes. This component is used to protect the patient from an air
embolism.
1.5.5 Blood Sensor

The Blood Sensor is also located in the air detector compartment. The Blood Sensor is an infrared
device that is used to detect the presence/absence of tubing, priming solution and blood in the venous
patient line. Once blood has been detected the protective system goes in full operation because it
considers that a patient is connected to the machine.
1.5.6 Line presence sensors

Sensors located in the sensor bar. Used to detect the presence of the arterial and venous patient lines.
If the sensors does not detect the presence of lines, the machine will not continue with the T1 tests and
dialysis fluid preparation sequence.
1.5.7 Hemoscan sensor

Sensor located in the sensor bar. Sensor that continuously measures the changes in the patients blood
volume, calculating the relative change in the patient’s blood volume during dialysis treatments.
1.5.8 Arterial and Venous line clamps

Automatic occlusive clamps that close the arterial/ venous patient line when needed.
In HD-SN treatment, arterial line clamp opens during the arterial phase to allow blood enter into the
extracorporeal circuit while it is closed during the venous phase to prevent treated blood to flow back into
the arterial blood line.
Venous line clamp protects the patient against an air embolism if an air bubble is detected. Once this
condition occurs, tha clamp closes thereby isolating the patient from the machine.
The clamps are closed when the machine is off.
1.5.9 Heparin pump

The heparin pump is used to infuse heparin into the blood to prevent coagulation or clotting of the blood
during the dialysis process when prescribed. There are optical sensors that sense when the syringe is
empty, and an operator message is also generated ‘’Heparin infusion complete’’ (# 58). The operator will
install a syringe into the pump and set the parameters that are appropriate on the heparin screen. The
heparin pump will begin to infuse heparin once the Blood Sensor detects blood and the machine is in the
dialysis mode.

1.6 Priming
When the new extracorporeal circuit has been successfully installed, the following Overview screen is
displayed:
The operator presses the ‘’Auto-Prime’’ action button and the complete autopriming process is
controlled by the machine.
(Refer to the Artis Operator’s Manual for a complete description of the priming procedure).
1.7 Ultrafiltration Control System

During treatments the UF Rate is always calculated according to the following formula:
UF Volume
UF Rate =
Treatment Time
where UF Volume means:

1. the total patient weight loss during treatment and UF Rate means patient weight loss per time unit
before treatment starts;
2. the remaining patient weight loss during treatment.
Treatment time and UF Volume can be set by the operator within predefined limits and the UF Rate is
automatically calculated each time these two parameters are changed during a treatment.
The Artis Dialysis System Control System controls the UF Rate in order to reach the UF volume set by
the operator.
If the Artis Dialysis System is not able to achieve the set UF volume within the remaining time, an
attention alarm is triggered. For the troubleshooting of this alarm, refer to the related section in the
‘’Chapter 9. Service Screen, Alarms, Information Signals And Troubleshooting’’ of this service manual.
In HDF/HF treatments in Volume Control mode, the UF Rate is controlled by the machine in order to
reach the set UF Volume in the set Treatment Time while the On-line Substitution Rate is controlled on the
operator set value.
1-42 Code SM_9033239200_01 Rev. /

In HDF Post treatments in Pressure Control mode, the UF Rate is controlled by the machine in order to
reach the set UF Volume in the set Treatment Time while the TMP is controlled on the operator set value
with the exception of the Ultra Control mode where is controlled by the machine in order to optimize the
substitution process.
1.7.1 Protective System for Ultrafiltration

The protective system for ultrafiltration, also called the UF Supervision system, measures the
accumulated ultrafiltration volume during a treatment independently by the control system mentioned in the
section above.
Throughout the treatment, the actual accumulated UF Volume estimated by the Protective system will
be compared with the expected patient weight loss set by the operator. If the difference between these two
values exceeds a predefined limit, an alarm is triggered. For further information, refer to the related section
in the " Chapter 13. SPECIFICATIONS" of this service manual.
For a complete list of all the alarms related to the UF Supervision system and their troubleshootings,
refer to the " Chapter 9. SERVICE SCREEN, ALARMS, INFORMATION SIGNALS AND
TROUBLESHOOTING" of this service manual.
1.8 Temperature Control and Monitoring

The heater (FLICK) heats the incoming water. The heater assembly consists of a three heating
elements and a temperature probe (STH), which monitors the temperature of the water as it leaves the
heater. Water enters through the bottom of the heater assembly and flows up around the heater element.
The heater power will be regulated to achieve the commanded temperature at TP (during heat process)
and TcA (during dialysis process).
The control PT100 temperature sensor (TP) measures the temperature of the water leaving the heater
assembly.
The heater assembly is protected from overheating in three ways:
• flow through flow switch (LFP) is lower than 200 ml/min;
• incoming water pressure switch (SWP) on R1 senses low pressure.
• STH - a thermal sensor that is implemented in the heater element to disable the heater if the tempera-
ture exceeds a maximum threshold.
If either of these conditions exist, power to the heater element is disconnected to prevent heater
damage.
1.9 Conductivity Control and Monitoring

Heated, deaerated water is mixed with bicarbonate and acid concentrates until the desired dialysis fluid
conductivity is reached. The Artis Dialysis System supports several types of concentrate sources, including
BiCart Cartridge. Concentrate proportioning is controlled by pumps and conductivity sensors. If conductivity
exceeds the normal range for the dialysis fluid, the appropriate alarm will display
1.9.1 Bicarbonate Concentrate Preparation

Bicarbonate concentrate (B) is supplied to the Artis Dialysis System through the BiCart Cartridge.
1.9.2 Bicarbonate Concentrate Mixing

The bicarbonate pump (PB) proportions in the bicarbonate concentrate with the heated and deaerated
water. The pump speed is regulated, based on the conductivity value measured at the bicarbonate
conductivity control sensor (ΓcB). As the pump speed increases, more concentrate is drawn in and the
bicarbonate conductivity increases. The machine monitors the pump speed with an optical encoder on the
pump motor shaft. If the pump speed is out of range for the concentrate being used, an alarm occurs.
1.9.3 Bicarbonate Conductivity Control

A bicarbonate conductivity control sensor (ΓcB) measures the bicarbonate conductivity for the
bicarbonate conductivity control system. The measurement at this sensor determines the bicarbonate
Code SM_9033239200_01 Rev. / 1-43

concentrate pump speed.
1.9.4 Bicarbonate Temperature Control

The temperature of the bicarbonate solution is measured by the bicarbonate temperature control sensor
(TcB). Since the actual bicarbonate conductivity is affected by the temperature of the solution, the
information from the temperature sensor (thermistor) is used for the temperature compensation of the
conductivity.
1.9.5 BiCart Option

BiCart Cartridge is a plastic column that contains sodium bicarbonate powder that may be used instead
of containers of liquid bicarbonate concentrate. When the BiCart option is used and the column is
connected to the Artis Dialysis System, the BiCart Cartridge holder switch (SWBK) signals the machine that
BiCart Cartridge will be used. Heated, deaerated water is drawn by the Pb pump from the main circuit
trough the EVPRIM valve and introduced in the column, which produces a saturated bicarbonate solution.
The solution is then proportioned by the bicarbonate mixing system.
1.9.6 SelectBag Concentrate Preparation

If the Select option is used, the bicarbonate and water solution is mixed with the ACID concentrate from
the SelectBag. The SelectBag concentrate mixing is controlled with a volumetric mixing through PSe pump
and based on the current dialysis flow.
1.9.7 SelectBag Concentrate Mixing

When the Select system is used and a SelectBag is connected to the Artis Dialysis System, the
SelectBag holder switches (SWSEK1, SWSEK2) signal the Artis Dialysis System that SelectBag will be
used. The ACID concentrate from the bag is then proportioned by the SelectBag mixing system.
The SelectBag mixing control system regulates the PSe pump speed in order to obtain a volumetric
mixing and the protective system checks for the conductivity. The pump encoder is acquired both from
protective and hydraulic in order to check and control the concentrate dosing.
1.9.8 SelectBag Conductivity Protective

The SelectBag conductivity protective sensor (ΓpSe) measures the conductivity for the SelectBag
conductivity Protective system. The reading at this sensor triggers an alarm if the conductivity is outside of
the normal range. In addition this sensor helps in detecting the bicarbonate conductivity cell failure
providing a redundant check on the current bicarbonate value. For this reason the select conductivity cell is
installed also on machines that do not support the Select System.
1.9.9 SelectBag Temperature Protective

The temperature for the acid/bicarb/water mixture is measured by the SelectBag temperature protective
sensor (Tp). The conductivity is affected by the temperature of the solution. The information from the
temperature sensors (thermistors) is used for the temperature compensation of the conductivity.
1.9.10 Acid Concentrate Preparation

The bicarbonate and water solution is now mixed with the acid concentrate until the desired conductivity
is achieved. Acid concentrate is supplied through the red colored acid connector. The Artis Dialysis System
is capable of proportioning several different types of acid concentrate.
1.9.11 Acid Concentrate Mixing

Acid concentrate (A) is drawn in through the male acid concentrate connector, and mixing is controlled
by the acid pump (PA). The pump speed is regulated based on the conductivity value measured at the acid
conductivity control sensor (ΓcA). The acid pump (PA) is a ceramic pump that is used to draw in the acid
concentrate from the acid concentrate container. As the pump speed increases, more concentrate is drawn
in and the dialysis fluid conductivity increases. If the pump speed is out of range for the concentrate being
used, an alarm occurs. The pump encoder is acquired both from protective and hydraulic in order to check
and control the concentrate dosing.
1-44 Code SM_9033239200_01 Rev. /

1.9.12 Acid Conductivity Control

The acid conductivity control sensor (ΓcA) measures the acid conductivity for the acid conductivity
control system. The conductivity at this sensor will be used to determine the acid concentrate pump speed.
1.9.13 Acid Temperature Control

The temperature for the acid/bicarb/water mixture is measured by the acid temperature control sensor
(TcA). Since the actual conductivity is affected by the temperature of the solution, the information from the
temperature sensor (thermistor) is used for the temperature compensation of the conductivity.
1.9.14 SelectCart Option

The SelectCart is a plastic column that contains sodium chloride powder. In combination with the other
part of the SelectBag, can replace containers of liquid acid concentrate. When the Select option is selected
and the SelectCart column is connected to the Artis Dialysis System, a SelectCart holder switch (SWAK)
signals the Artis Dialysis System that SelectCart will be used. Heated, deaerated water is drawn by the PA
pump from the main flow trough the EVPRIM valve and introduced in the column, which produces a
saturated sodium chloride solution. The solution is then proportioned by the acid (A) mixing system as
described above.
1.9.15 Disinfection and Cleaning

The Artis Dialysis System can accommodate chemical disinfection as frequently as between each
treatment or daily. As a minimum, a daily disinfection (chemical, heat or heat with CleanCart Cartridge) is
recommended.
Heat disinfection is also an option, and in addition a deproteinization procedure (for example: bleach)
should be done at least two times per week if heat/heat with CleanCart Cartridge disinfection is the primary
(between each patient treatment or daily minimum) disinfection method. This is to ensure that any
accumulated organic material is periodically removed from the hydraulic circuit. Such material can
potentially reduce the effectiveness of a disinfection process.
The Artis Dialysis System offers a unique method to protect the hydraulic circuit from microbial
contamination with the preparation of a bacteriostatic level of disinfectant. This can be useful for overnight
or weekend storage, and in an acute setting where the time between uses is variable.
CHEMICAL DISINFECTIONS
A. Chemical disinfection. The disinfectant solution is uptaken from a chemical canister
connected to the Yellow or Clear connector on the rear of the machine. The disinfection cycle
includes all the hydraulic circuit.
B. Bacteriostatic. The machine is left filled with a very low concentration of chemical disinfectant
for a maximum dwell time of one week. The uptake of disinfectant is the same described for the
Chemical Disinfection. This disinfection process involves all the hydraulic circuit.
HEAT DISINFECTIONS
C. Heat disinfection. This process is performed circulating hot water through the hydraulic
circuit.
D. Heat disinfection with CleanCart C Cartridge. This process is performed flushing dissolved
CleanCart C powder and hot water in the hydraulic circuit.
E. Heat disinfection with CleanCart A Cartridge. This process is performed flushing dissolved
CleanCart A powder and hot water in the hydraulic circuit.
RINSE
F. Rinse. Fresh water flushes the hydraulic circuit.
Code SM_9033239200_01 Rev. / 1-45

DESCALING PROCEDURE
A Descaling procedure is a procedure able to remove mineral deposits from the hydraulic circuit.
The following procedures have to be intended as Descaling procedure: Heat + CleanCartC, Peracetic,
Low Peracetic, Bacteriostatic Peracetic, Bacteriostatic Low Peracetic.
Refer to the Artis Operator’s Manual for a complete description of the Disinfection and Rinse
procedures.
1-46 Code SM_9033239200_01 Rev. /


2.1 Hydraulic Circuit Description
The Hydraulic Circuit of the Artis dialysis system reduces and controls the pressure of the pre-treated
incoming water through the Fluid Feeding module, then the Heating and Degassing module heats and
deaerates water before reaching the Dosing Mixing Concentrates module where the concentrate fluids
are mixed with the heated and degassed water in order to get the Dialyzer with a controlled solutes
composition. After the dialysis fluid is properly prepared, the Artis dialysis system monitors and controls
through the Fluid Delivery and Weight Loss Control module the dialysis fluid flow to the dialyzer and
from the dialyzer. Then the Clearance module monitors the conductivity of the dialysis fluid before it
drained by the Waste Fluid module.
The Dosing and Mixing Disinfectants module performs the intake and dosing of the disinfectants used
to disinfect the hydraulic circuit.
The EvaClean module drains the saline solution used during the priming of the blood compartment of
the Dialyzer.
To disinfect the part of the circuit upstream the heater, the Artis dialysis system uses The Recirculation
module that allows the flow going backward to the Fluid Feeding module.
Pumps with flushing are installed on the Artis dialysis system. The piston pump technology requires a
flushing circuit to avoid sticking and bicarbonate leaking. The flushing fluid is pure water at low pressure
conditions (see “Figure 2-1 Artis Hydraulic circuit block diagram” for the related circuit).

2.2.1 Water Inlet

Treated water is required for supply to the Artis dialysis system. The inlet filter FH2O prevents large
particles from entering the hydraulic circuit.
The inlet pressure switch (SWP) registers water pressure at the system inlet, and turns off the Artis
dialysis system water heater if the pressure falls below a minimum acceptable value which allows the
machine to work properly. A no water alarm is also generated.
Water passes through the inlet pressure regulator (R1) which controls the downstream pressure by
restricting the flow.
The pressure regulator is manually adjusted for an outlet relative pressure of 460 mmHg at sea level;
this set is changed when the atmospheric pressure is lower than the one at sea level. This change
increases the relative pressure at the inlet in order to keep the boiling temperature of the water at about
100 °C and to keep the efficiency of thermal disinfection process.
A pressure chart for adjusting R1 is located in the ‘’Calibration’’ section of this manual. SWP is built into
the R1 pressure regulator housing.
The inlet valve (EVH2O) is normally closed and opens to allow water into the hydraulic circuit. The inlet
valve is OPEN (energized) during the operations and closes whenever the hydraulic circuit does not require
water supply.
OWH2O is a non return valve, prevents any contamination from the machine to the water system in
case of the failure condition.
EVA valve is before the inlet of the Heating and Degassing module, in order to allow the inlet of air
during the emptying operations.
OWAIR is a one-way valve used to avoid external leakages of water during anomalous working
condition.
CDF1 - inlet ultrafilter prevents bacteria or endotoxin entering downstream the circuit since the machine
supports Online Options.
The inlet side of the ultrafilter can be disinfected through the disinfectant fluid coming directly from the
Ps pump. During heat disinfection it is disinfected by hot water recirculating through (EVS) valve. The water
recirculation will produce an increase of the pressure in the whole recirculation loop.
The hydraulic circuit of the Artis dialysis system has a dedicated flushing line - for a better washing of
the ultrafilter. The solenoid valve (EVFLUSH) opens the line and the orifice (ORFlush) limits the amount of
water flushed toward the drain.
At the outlet of the water inlet module, the water is sent to the heating and degassing module.

2.3.1 Heat Exchanger

Two heat exchangers in series (HE1 and HE2) are devices used to transfer heat from the effluent side
of the hydraulic system to the incoming water. The effluent side of the heat exchanger is physically
separated from the incoming water by a thermally conductive stainless steel membrane. The cold incoming
water flows through the outer channel of the heat exchanger.
2.3.2 Heater (FLICK), Thermistor (STH)

The heater (FLICK) heats the incoming water. The heater assembly consists of a heating element and a
temperature probe (TP), which monitors the temperature of the water as it leaves the heater. Water enters
through the bottom of the heater assembly and flows up around the heater element. The heater power will
be regulated to achieve the commanded temperature at (TP).
The heater assembly is protected from overheating in three ways: if flow through flow switch (LFP) is
lower than 200 ml/min or, if the incoming water pressure switch (SWP) on R1 senses low pressure, power
to the heater element is disconnected to prevent heater damage.
(STH) is a thermal sensor that is implemented in the heater element that disables the heater if the
temperature exceeds a maximum threshold (115 °C). This component is a PT1000.
2.3.2.1 Heater Temperature Sensor (TP)

(TP) is a PT100, a temperature sensor that operates at the wider temperature range used for heat
disinfection (approximately 100 °C). The temperature sensor (TP) measures the temperature of the water
leaving the heater assembly, by increasing its resistance, and controls the heater to ensure that the:
• Temperature is within operating range;
• Maximum temperature deviation is within acceptable range;
• Response time is within acceptable range.
2.3.3 Restrictor and Bypass Valve

The bypass valve (EVDEG) is closed (de-energized) throughout the dialysis treatment. The valve opens
during the Artis dialysis system heat disinfection cycle. This will bypass the degassing restrictor (ORDEG)
and prevent the water from boiling as it is pulled through the degassing circuit during the heat disinfection
cycle.
Code SM_9033239200_02 Rev. / 2-3

2.3.4 Degassing loop check valve

The degassing loop check valve (OWDGL) prevents water from going straightly from the heat
exchangers to the Dosing Mixing Concentrate module.
2.3.5 Deaeration
As water enters the heater, it may contain air bubbles and dissolved air. To reduce air in the system, a
deaeration restrictor (ORDEG) is used and is located downstream from the heater. The deaeration pump
(PC) is a gear pump. The pump speed is controlled in closed loop on the degassing loop pressure
transducer (PDG). PDG is an absolute pressure sensor, as opposed to the relative pressure sensors used
elsewhere in the machine. The deaeration pump controls the degassing pressure to a constant absolute
pressure (100 mmHg) set to achieve the degassing requirements. The deaeration restrictor is designed to
give a flow rate of approx. 1500 ml/min in the deaeration loop when the deaeration pump is working in
closed loop on PDG with a set point of 100 mmHg (abs).
Air that is removed from the water is collected and periodically vented to the drain line by the deaeration
bubble trap (BTP). The water level in the deaeration bubble trap is monitored by the infrared level sensor
(LP). When the level sensor detects air in the bubble trap, the deaeration valve (EVP) opens (energizes) to
vent accumulated air. The valve closes when the level sensor detects water again.
2.3.6 Degassing Restrictor ORD

The restrictor ORD next to the drain limits the flow when EVP, EVD1 and EVD2 are open so that the
majority of the fluid still goes through the main portion of the circuit (see Figure 2-8 Dosing and Mixing
Disinfectant module).
The one way valve OWD prevents fluid from back-flowing into the bubble trap flushing lines (see Figure
2-7 Waste Fluid module).
2.3.7 Pressure regulator (R2)

After the degassing chamber (BTP) the degassed water flows in two directions. The water required for
the preparation of the dialysis fluid passes through the pressure regulator (R2). It is important to set its
value in order to avoid too low negative pressures before the P1 pump that may cause the formation of
gas bubbles: set value of 180 mmHg at 500 ml/min.
The R2 is kept outside degassing loop in order to reduce pressure spikes from BTP evacuation.
The excess flow returns to the degassing circuit for recirculation.
2.4 Dosing and Mixing Concentrate module

This hydraulic module adds and proportions concentrates fluids to the heated and degassed water in
order to achieve a dialysis fluid with a controlled solutes composition.
Heated, deaerated water is mixed with bicarbonate and acid concentrates until the desired dialysis fluid
conductivity is reached.
The Artis dialysis system supports several types of concentrate sources:
• liquid concentrates from tanks;
• BiCart;
• BiCart Select;
• A central delivery system.
Concentrate proportioning is controlled by pumps and conductivity sensors. If conductivity exceeds the
normal range for the dialysis fluid, an alarm condition is generated.
The BiCart Select system is a concept for preparing the A- and B- concentrate in bicarbonate dialysis
treatments. The bicarbonate concentrate is prepared from the dry bicarbonate powder contained in the
BiCart. The liquid A concentrate jug is replaced with acid concentrate from the SelectBag containing the
small electrolytes in a highly concentrated solution, and a dry sodium chloride cartridge, the SelectCart,
2-4 Code SM_9033239200_02 Rev. /

which is used to produce a saturated solution of sodium chloride in the final mixing step.
The BiCart Select system allows to individualized sodium and bicarbonate concentrations independently
from the prescribed concentrations of the small electrolytes and to improve transportation, storage and
handling efficiency.
The use of the BiCart Select system in Artis dialysis system is equal to standard treatments using liquid
concentrates.
Bicarbonate concentrate (B) is supplied to the Artis dialysis system through the BiCart.
Acid concentrate (A) is supplied to the Artis dialysis system through the acid connector (CA). When the
male connector is properly placed in the acid port, the acid port switches (SWA and SWA2) sense the
connection.
When the BiCart Select option is used, acid concentrate (Se) is supplied from the SelectBag. In this
case, sodium chloride concentrate is supplied through the SelectCart via the A mixing step.
The mixing order is B, Se, and A. This order minimizes the risk for precipitate formation and to get good
accuracy in the bicarbonate mixing.
Mixing chambers (MCB, MCS and MCA) are installed at the point where each concentrate line meets
the main flow path to produce a homogeneous solution as quickly as possible.
The Select conductivity cell performs the protective check on conductivity. The Artis dialysis system
concentrate mixing system uses ceramic concentrate pumps.
The piston pump technology requires a flushing circuit (the blue line) to avoid sticking and concentrate
leaking. The flushing fluid is pure water with low pressure conditions. The component design assures a low
pressure drop in the flushing circuit to avoid the risk of P1 cavitations during disinfection program.

and degassing and WL control
module module
Figure 2 - 4. Dosing and Mixing Concentrates module
2.4.1 Bicarbonate Concentrate Mixing

The bicarbonate pump (PB) is a ceramic pump that draws in the bicarbonate concentrate. The pump
speed is regulated, based on the conductivity value measured at the bicarbonate conductivity control
sensor (ΓcB). As the pump speed increases, more concentrate is drawn in and the bicarbonate
conductivity increases. If the pump speed is out of range for the concentrate being used, an alarm occurs.
The pump encoder must be acquired from protective in order to check the concentrate dosing.
2.4.1.1 Bicarbonate Temperature Control Sensor (TcB)

Since the actual bicarbonate conductivity is affected by the temperature, the temperature of the
bicarbonate solution is measured by the bicarbonate temperature control sensor (TcB). The information
from the temperature sensor (thermistor) is used for the temperature compensation of the conductivity.
2.4.1.2 Bicarbonate Conductivity Control Sensor (ΓcB)

A bicarbonate conductivity control sensor (ΓcB) measures the conductivity for the bicarbonate
Code SM_9033239200_02 Rev. / 2-5

conductivity control system. The measurement at this sensor determines the bicarbonate concentrate
pump speed.
2.4.1.3 BiCart Mode

BiCart is a plastic column that contains sodium bicarbonate powder that is used instead of containers of
liquid bicarbonate concentrate. When the BiCart option is used and the column is connected to the Artis
dialysis system, a BiCart holder switch (SWBK) signals that BiCart will be used. Heated, deaerated water is
drawn by the Pb pump from the main circuit trough the EVPRIM valve and introduced in the column, which
produces a saturated bicarbonate solution. The solution is then proportioned by the bicarbonate mixing
system.
2.4.2 SelectBag Concentrate Preparation

If the BiCart Select option is used, the bicarbonate and water solution is mixed with the acid concentrate
from the SelectBag.
The SelectBag concentrate mixing is controlled with a volumetric mixing.
NOTE
If the BiCart Select option has not been selected, this mixing step is not used. The mixing with acid
(A) concentrate is then controlled and monitored by the A concentrate components.
2.4.2.1 SelectBag Concentrate Mixing

When the BiCart Select system is used and a SelectBag is connected to the Artis dialysis system, the
SelectBag holder switches (SWSEK1, SWSEK2) signal the Artis dialysis system that SelectBag will be
used. The acid concentrate from the bag is then proportioned by the SelectBag mixing system.
The SelectBag mixing control system regulates the pump speed in order to obtain a volumetric mixing
and the protective system checks for the conductivity. The pump encoder must be acquired from protective
in order to check the concentrate dosing.
2.4.2.2 SelectBag Temperature Protective Sensor

The temperature for the acid/bicarb/water mixture is measured by the SelectBag temperature protective
sensor (TpSe). The conductivity is affected by the temperature of the solution. The information from the
temperature sensors (thermistors) is used for the temperature compensation of the conductivity.
2.4.2.3 SelectBag Conductivity Protective Sensor

The SelectBag conductivity protective sensor (Γ pSe) measures the conductivity for the SelectBag
conductivity Protective system. The reading at this sensor triggers an alarm if the conductivity is outside of
the normal range. In addition this sensor helps in detecting the bicarbonate conductivity cell failure and
detects if the select bag installed is different from the select bag configured in the machine. In fact if the
Bicarbonate conductivity cell fails in measuring the bicarbonate contribution and the mixing control of
acetate is able of compensate it, the only way to detect the failure is to keep the Select conductivity cell on
its place. For this reason the select conductivity cell must be acquired also on machines that do not use the
BiCart Select System.
2-6 Code SM_9033239200_02 Rev. /

2.4.3 Acid Concentrate Preparation

The bicarbonate and water solution is now mixed with the acid concentrate until the desired conductivity
is achieved. Acid concentrate is supplied through the red colored acid connector. The Artis dialysis system
is capable of proportioning several different types of acid concentrate.
NOTE
If the BiCart Select option has been selected, the mixing with acid concentrate is controlled by the
SelectBag mixing step. The acid (A) mixing step is then only used for the proportioning of sodium
chloride concentrate from the SelectCart (see SelectCart Option below).
2.4.3.1 Acid Concentrate Mixing

Acid concentrate (A) is drawn in through the male acid concentrate connector, and mixing is controlled
by the acid pump (PA). The pump speed is regulated based on the conductivity value measured at the acid
conductivity control sensor (ΓcA). The acid pump (PA) is a ceramic pump that is used to draw in the acid
concentrate from the acid concentrate container. As the pump speed increases, more concentrate is drawn
in and the dialysis fluid conductivity increases. If the pump speed is out of range for the concentrate being
used, an alarm occurs. The pump encoder must be acquired from protective in order to check the
concentrate dosing.
2.4.3.2 Acid Temperature Control

The temperature for the acid/bicarb/water mixture is measured by the temperature control sensor (TcA).
Since the actual conductivity is affected by the temperature of the solution, the information from the
temperature sensor (thermistor) are used for the temperature compensation of the conductivity.
2.4.3.3 Acid Conductivity Control

The acid conductivity control sensor (ΓcA) measures the acid conductivity for the acid conductivity
control system. The conductivity at this sensor will be used to determine the acid concentrate pump speed.
2.4.3.4 SelectCart Option

The SelectCart is a plastic column that contains sodium chloride powder. In combination with the other
part of the BiCart Select system, the SelectBag, it can replace containers of liquid acid concentrate. When
the BicartSelect option is selected and the SelectCart column is connected to the Artis dialysis system, a
SelectCart holder switch (SWAK) signals the Artis dialysis system that SelectCart will be used. Heated,
deaerated water is drawn by the Pa pump from the main flow trough the (EVPRIM) valve and introduced in
the column, which produces a saturated sodium chloride solution. The solution is then proportioned by the
acid (A) mixing system as described above.
2.4.4 BiCart and SelectCart Priming

Both the BiCart and SelectCart cartridges are primed by forcing the main flow through the mixing lines
as consequence of closing the valve (EVPrim1). During normal operation, this valve is OPEN.
During Priming the EVPrim1 valve allow creating a low pressure at the concentrate mixing points for air
evacuation and priming and forces the main flow through mixing lines.
The priming sequence is started with an air evacuation phase, where the priming valve (EVprim) and
the priming 1 valve (EVprim1) are both closed and the concentrate pump bypass valves (EVpb and EVpa)
are open to let the air in the cartridges be quickly drawn out by the low pressure in the fluid path
downstream of the Evprim1.
After the air has been evacuated, each cartridge is primed by opening the priming valve EVprim to let
water in at the top of the cartridge. When the priming is completed, the concentrate pump bypass valves
(EVPb, EVPa) are closed and the system returns to normal feedback control of conductivity by modulating
the concentrate pump speeds.
Code SM_9033239200_02 Rev. / 2-7

If the BiCart Select system is not used the priming sequence involves just the part of the mixing related
to the BiCart (Pb, EVPb).

2.5.1 Dialysis Fluid Flow Control

The fluid from upstream hydraulic module enters in the P1 pump which is regulated to achieve the set
flow rate in the range 300 - 800 ml/min. The flow regulation is performed using the electromagnetic flow
sensor D1c in a closed-loop feedback.
Flow meter (D1P) provides a redundant flow measurement for protective function. The filter (F3) is
placed after pH probe to protect downstream path from glass particles in case of sensor break (if installed).
2.5.2 Final Air Evacuation

Final air evacuation prevents air suspensions reaching the pH sensor (PH) (if installed), the flow sensor
(D1C) and the dialyzer. The bubble trap level sensor (LD1) indicates the presence of air in the bubble trap
(BT1). When the sensor detects air, EVD1 opens to vent the air. When the sensor detects fluid again, EVD1
closes.
The degassing restrictor placed next to the drain (ORD) limits the flow when EVD1 is open so that the
majority of the fluid still goes through the main portion of the circuit. The one way valve OWD prevents fluid
from back-flowing into the bubble trap flushing lines.
2.5.3 Conductivity protection

The dialysis fluid conductivity is checked by a conductivity protective sensor placed after the BT1 bubble
trap. Since the conductivity is affected by the temperature, the dialysis fluid temperature is also measured
by the temperature transducer and it is used to compensate the conductivity measurement.
2.5.4 Final Temperature Monitoring

Protective conductivity cell will be used by the Protective system, as final temperature monitor sensor.
2-8 Code SM_9033239200_02 Rev. /

2.5.5 pH Monitoring (if available)

The pH sensor if installed measures the amount of free hydrogen in the dialysis fluid solution to
determine the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Monitoring the pH helps to detect if incorrect concentrate
types are connected.
2.5.6 Bypass of the Dialyzer and Second Ultrafilter

The EVDS1 in combination with EV2 is used to bypass the dialyzer and the second ultrafilter. This is
done typically in case of bad dialysis fluid detected by the upstream sensors. In this case the EVDS2 valve
shall be switched off to provide redundancy.
2.5.7 Safety Volume

The Safety Volume evidences a portion of the circuit between the outlet of the Γp and the bypass valve
EVDS1. This volume is linked to the minimum response time of the protective when a conductivity alarm is
present. In fact the protective must be able of activate the bypass of the second ultrafilter before the 'bad'
dialysis fluid reaches the ultrafilter itself. The worst case condition is represented by the maximum flow (i.e.
800 ml/min).
2.5.8 Ultrafilter before Dialyzer

An ultrafilter is foreseen to precede the dialyzer in all the configurations.
When the EVBP2 is closed, the dialysis is forced through the ultrafilter membrane. Purified dialysis fluid
comes out of the ultrafilter, goes through EVDS2. The ultrafilter trans-membrane pressure is monitored
using the sensors PFS and PO in order to check the status of the ultrafilter, when the PRV is acting the PO
will be substituted in the calculation of trans-membrane pressure by the value assured by the pressure
regulator itself.
The ultrafilter flush valve EVBP2 opens during the flush cycle to flush/rinse the ultrafilter.
2.5.9 On - Line and dialyzer monitoring

Down stream the second ultrafilter the online connector (CO) let to spill the substitution fluid as a quote
of the main dialysis flow. The pressure regulator (PRV) is used to guarantee a positive pressure at the
online connector ( ≥ 20 mmHg) when it is crossed by the flow.
The EVDS2 three ways valve is used to configure an HF or HDF Post Treatments.
The pressure sensor PO and PI are used, in combination with the venous pressure from the blood
panel, to calculate the dialyzer transmembrane pressure.
2.5.10 Dialyzer pressures

Pressures are monitored on the inlet and outlet side of the dialyzer with the pre/post dialyzer pressure
sensors (Pi) and (Po).
The Pi and Po sensors are also used to check the integrity of the hydraulic circuit in the zone delimited
by valves EVDS1, EVD2, EVR1 and EVDRAIN.
2.5.11 Exhaust dialysis flow control and ultrafiltration

The effluent flow from the dialyzer is filtered by F4 (to prevent particles from dialyzer) and controlled with
P2 pump which is regulated to achieve the dialysis flow rate + the ultrafiltration quote. The flow regulation
is performed using the electromagnetic flow sensor D2c in a closed-loop feedback.
A redundant flow measurement used for protective purpose is implemented by mean of the flow meter D2P.
To prevent air suspensions reaching the flow sensor D2c an air evacuation has been placed downstream
P2 pump. The bubble trap level sensor (LD2) indicates the presence of air in the bubble trap (BT2). When
the sensor detects air, EVD2 opens to vent the air. When the sensor detects fluid again, EVD2 closes.
The restrictor placed next to the drain (ORD) limits the flow when EVD2 is open. The one way valve
OWD prevents fluid from back-flowing into the bubble trap flushing lines.
Code SM_9033239200_02 Rev. / 2-9

2.5.12 Blood Leak Monitor

The effluent exhaust dialysis fluid is finally pumped through the Blood Leak Detector (BLD) to monitor
for a rupture of the dialyzer membrane.
2.5.13 Water Stop Sensor

Detects any water leakage coming from the circuit.
2.6 Clearance module

The Clearance monitoring module is a conductivity probe inserted in the hydraulic circuit after the BLD
(Blood Leak Detector), provided of its temperature sensor.
The conductivity probe is a dedicated conductivity cell (ΓcD) used to monitor the conductivity of the
exhaust dialysis fluid in order to give an estimation of the clearance of the dialyzer.
Since the conductivity is affected by the temperature of the solution, the information from the
temperature sensors (thermistors) are used for the temperature compensation of the conductivity.

Effluent produced during Artis dialysis system operation is pumped from the flow path to the drain. The
waste fluid module uses the waste handling option (PWHO) pump in order to realize a stable pressure
(about 0 mmHg) in correspondence to the injection point of the venting lines. The stable pressure is created
by the PWHO pump working on pressure feedback on the Pd pressure transducer. This configuration has
the advantage of uncoupling the working point of the hydraulic circuit (upstream the WHO pump) from the
discharging conditions that depends strongly from the clinic.
The one way valve (OWD) prevents flow going backward to the bubble trap flushing lines.
The (EVDRAIN) in combination with (EVBHE) are used, to by-pass the Heater Hexchanger when
needed in order to speed up the cooling of the hydraulic circuit.
The (EVDRAIN) and (EVBHE) are used to test the absence of leakages in the fluid delivery and WL
control before each treatment session.

(SWP1) detects high pressure at the drain. When this pressure is higher than a threshold the machine
goes into bypass and all Hydraulic Module pumps are stopped.
2.8 Dosing and Mixing Disinfectant module

The Dosing and Mixing Disinfectant module is deputed to intake disinfectants solutions and to mix/
proportions them in the hydraulic circuit during specific disinfections procedures.
The disinfectant concentrates solution used for chemical disinfection can be drawn alternatively from:
• the permanent connected jug C through the connector CC (yellow connector);
• the permanent connected jug D through the connector CD (clear connector).
The chemical will be diluted into pure water coming from the inlet section and it is distributed in all
branches of the circuit.
The filters F5 and F6 prevent the intake of particulate in the pump.
A flushing circuit for the PS pump is required (see Figure 2-8 Dosing and Mixing Disinfectant module) for
the related circuit.
The flushing line of the PS pump connects the deaeration lines coming from BTP and BT1. This circuit
branch assures a low pressure condition on the piston pump seal area.
The one way valve OWEVD1 avoids that some residual of disinfectant (leaked from main circuit of PS
pump to flushing circuit) could be introduced in the mixing area (in case of negative pressure downstream
the one way valve).

When a permanent disinfectant container is in use, it is accessed through the EVD or EVC valve when
the disinfectant pump pulls in the disinfectant into the circuit.
During the suction of the sterilant, the correct dilution will be obtained by mixing the chemical to the inlet

A special priming connector is attached to the cassette and then connected to the EvaClean drain port
where the waste fluids are routed to the drain via the PWHO pump.
The EvaClean doors switches (SWCON1, SWCON2) are used to indicate if the waste handling feature
door is open or closed.
The patient lines of the cassette are then placed into the drain ports and the blood pump will push the
saline into the drain ports. PWHO pump will be regulated in order to maintain constant the Pd pressure.
2.9.2 EvaClean Rinse/disinfection

When the EvaClean1 is not in use, the EvaClean1 (color code blue) door is closed which allows water
to rinse through the drain port by opening (EVW1). When the EvaClean2 is not in use, the EvaClean2
(color code red) door is closed which allows water to rinse through the drain port by opening (EVW2).
The waste check valves (OWWHO1, OWWHO2 and OWWHO3) are used to prevent backflow of fluids
from the effluent flowpath.
During a dialysis treatment or a heat disinfection mode, if one of the EvaClean doors is OPEN, the
system will issue an alarm and will close automatically EVW1 and EVW2 valves.

3.2.10 Blood Module: HD-DNDP and HD-SN Treatments

When the Artis Dialysis System is used for HD-DNDP and HD-SN Treatments, both blood pumps are
used. Note that the pumps are running in the same directions.
The treatment is controlled by a predefined stroke volume and by the mean blood flow. The required
mean blood flow and stroke volume is determined by the operator. When the mean blood flow is affected,
the venous and arterial blood pump will change its speed. The venous pump is volume controlled. The
mean blood flow is set in the same way as the required blood flow in the HD-DN Treatment. When the
pump button is pressed, the arterial blood pump will start and will run until the pre and post dialyzer
expansion chambers are filled up (detected by the high limit on the system pressure transducer).
The venous blood pump then will start, and will run until the predefined stroke volume has been returned
to the patient. This is monitored by the low limit on the post dialyzer pressure transducer after the filter. The
process is repeated throughout treatment.

3.2.14 Cassette sensors

Sensors that detect the presence of the blood cassette on the cassette panel.
3.2.15 Dialyzer & Connections

The dialyzer is connected to the Blood Cassette through two lines coming from the Cassette. The hose
connected to the arterial end of the dialyzer is the arterial dialyzer line (the supply line), and the tube
connected to the venous end of the dialyzer is the venous dialyzer line (the return line). Both tubes are
connected to the dialyzer with twist-lock connectors. Fluids in the dialyzer flow counter-current for
maximum exchange of electrolytes and the removal of waste products.
During basic dialysis, electrolytes are exchanged across the membrane of the dialyzer through the
process of diffusion. During ultrafiltration, fluid from the blood side of the dialyzer passes through the
dialyzer membrane into the dialysis fluid flow path. The fluid transfer is caused by the pressure difference in
the ultrafiltration system by running the P2 Pump.
The dialyzer holder built into the left side panel of the Artis Dialysis System is intended for hollow-fiber
dialyzers. It secures the dialyzer in place with a dialyzer holder pincer arm that holds the dialyzer during
treatment. The two dialyzer lines that connect to the dialyzer are color coded (blue for venous, red for
arterial). The dialyzer connectors must be connected to the bypass ports correctly when are not in use as
there is a flow sensor to indicated proper flow plus hall effect sensors to sense that the proper connector is
connected to the correct port. The hall effect sensors are mounted in the dialyzer bypass ports. The
magnets are mounted in the dialyzer connectors. The magnets are installed such that the poles are
opposite each other so that the machine can sense if the connectors are mounted incorrectly.
3.2.16 Arterial Injection Port

The red arterial injection port provides a convenient access point for taking arterial blood samples with a
syringe and needle. It is located in the arterial patient line of the Blood Cassette. The sample port has a
self-sealing rubber membrane.
3.2.17 Venous Injection Port

The blue venous injection port provides a convenient access point for taking venous blood samples with
a syringe and needle before returning the blood to the patient or for the injections of medicines. It is located
in the venous dialyzer line just prior to the venous chamber. The sample port has a self-sealing rubber
membrane.
3.3 Pressure transducers

Sensors that read the arterial and venous pressure inside the Blood Cassette chambers. There are
three different Pressure Transducers:
• Blue and red sensors read the arterial and venous pressure in the cassette chambers.
• White: reads the SN pressure in the Post-Dialyzer Expansion Chamber in the SN cassette.
The arterial pressure sensor (the red sensor) monitors pressure conditions in the blood line, drawing
blood from the patient. It is on the inlet side of the arterial pump and normally monitors the suction pressure
generated by the arterial pump. Typically, this pressure is negative during the treatment.
The venous pressure sensor (the blu sensor) monitors the blood line returning blood to the patient. It is
on the outlet side of the dialyzer and normally monitors the blood pressure in the blood cassette that goes
back to the patient after its transfer through the dialyzer. Typically, this pressure is positive during the
treatment and is determined by the vascular access, the needle size, and the blood pump speed.
The SN pressure sensor, during a Single-Needle Double Pump treatment, monitors the Post-Dialyzer
pressure, before the Venous Pump. It is therefore used to activate the Venous Pump to return the blood to
the patient when the measured pressure reaches the value set by the operator as “Max SN Pressure”.
The sensors are identical strain gauge type sensors that act as a full-bridge with differential outputs.
Each is driven by a +5 Vdc excitation voltage and has an output scale factor of 24 micro-volts/mmHg. At 0
mmHg, the sensor output is 0 volts.
Code SM_9033239200_03 Rev. / 3-19

The sensors are acquired by the PIB board which amplifies and transfers the signals to the Blood,
Protective and Hydraulic boards.
The venous and the arterial sensor outputs are displayed on the Overview screen view.
The venous and the SN pressure are used for the Transmembrane Pressure (TM Pressure in the status
screens) calculations.
• The machine will monitor for extreme minimum or maximum pressure conditions. In this case the
blood pump will stop and the operator intervention may be required to restart the machine.
The pressure transducers are tested during the T1Test sequence, to verify that the acquisition system is
working properly.
3.4 Arterial Pump

The arterial pump is a self occluding peristaltic pump that pumps the blood from the patient to the
extracorporeal circuit. The arterial pump provides a cover to avoid injuries to the user when the pump rotor
spins.
The rotor of the pump is removable so that the removal and the insertion of the pump segment can be
easier and without the need to push the segment in the gap between the roll of the rotor and the surface of
the stator.
The machine performs the “Arterial Pump Segment Test” to check that the pump segment has been
properly loaded. If the test fails, the “Arterial Pump Segment not Correctly Loaded (#586)” alarm will be
triggered.
A sensor detects when the cover is open and the pump is not running.
The mechanism that activates the arterial pump is composed of:
• a DC motor
• a control board
• a rotor.
The 24V DC pump motor can be operated in either the forward (counter-clockwise) or reverse
(clockwise) directions. During dialysis, the pump moves in the forward direction. During prime, the pump
moves in the reverse direction. The arterial pump has an encoder that gives feedback of the speed of the
motor to the Blood Pump Motor board and ultimately the Blood Slave board. No blood pump rate calibration
is required due to this feedback.
The arterial pump operates between 10 and 500 ml/minute in increments of 10 ml/minute. In normal
operation, the pump speed starts at the machine-set flow rate stored in the configuration parameters. The
default value for this speed is 100 ml/minute. For each of the machine phases (Prime, Patient connection,
Dialysis, Rinseback, Recirculation) the pump speed starts to the machine-set flow rate stored in the
configuration parameters. While during Priming the machine takes full control of the pump speed and
direction, during the other phases, the pump speed can be modified using the Plus and Minus Keys.
The machine will generate a ‘’BLOOD PUMP SPEED ERROR #12’’ alarm if it detects that the pump is
not running when it is commanded to run.
The system looks at the encoder to check the proper operation of the pump.
If the pump rotor is locked up because of an arterial pump tubing miss placement or a defective motor
reducer, the machine will also generate a ‘’BLOOD PUMP SPEED ERROR #12’’.
3.5 Arterial Pump cover

The Arterial Pump Cover protects the Users form the Arterial Rotors when the machine is operating.
On the bottom outside corner of the Cover, there is a magnet which is attracted by another magnet
positioned behind the Front Panel. Their purpose is to hold the Cover in the close position.
On the Cover, there is another magnet that is detected by a Hall sensor positioned directly behind the
Front Panel. This sensor will immediately inform the operator if the cover is not securely closed and the
3-20 Code SM_9033239200_03 Rev. /

arterial pump will not run. With the arterial pump cover closed, the Hall sensor device reads magnetic flux of
the magnet in the door and will allow the blood pump to run.
The Arterial Cover Position sensor is connected to the board which detects the Magnets of the Pump
Rotor. The signals are then transferred to the Blood Pump Board and then to the motherboard.
The system generates a “BLOOD PUMP COVER OPEN #8” alarm message whenever the cover is
open. If the cover is OPEN while the blood pump is running the pump will stop and all blood pump controls
will be disabled. The cover must be closed to re-enable pump functions.
The status of the Arterial Pump Cover signal can be seen on the Service Screen Pages indicating when
the arterial pump cover is sensed open or closed. The voltage output of the Hall sensor is approximately 5
volts when the cover is open and approximately 0 volts when the cover is closed.
3.6 Arterial Pump rotor with crank

The Arterial Pump rotor is a spring-loaded dual-roller assembly that is mounted to the shaft of the blood
pump motor. It has two hinged self-occluding roller arms that are used to press the blood pump segment
against the raceway and provide the occlusion pressure necessary to move fluid through the Blood
Cassette. The rollers are factory set at their occlusion setting.
The rotor assembly also has two magnets mounted on the back. Just above of the arterial pump motor
shaft, mounted between the motor and the front panel, there is a board which holds two hall-effect sensors
used to monitor the rotor magnets. The sensors are used to position the rollers in the horizontal position,
and also are used to verify direction control.
The protective module generates a ‘’SAFE STATE ACTIVATED’’ alarm if, during dialysis, the arterial
pump is not turning in the correct direction for the current machine operating phase.
3.7 Venous Pump

The venous pump is a peristaltic pump that pumps blood from the dialyzer to the venous line to the
patient during HD-SN treatment and HD-DNDP treatment and is used for administering substitution fluid
during HDF Post, HDF Pre and HF Pre Treatments.
The venous pump have the encoder that give feedback of the motor’s speed to the PIB board and to the
blood slave board. Due to this feedback no blood pump rate calibration is required.
The venous pump provides a cover to avoid injuries to the user when the pump rotor spins.
The rotor of the pump is removable so that the removal and the insertion of the pump segment can be
easier and without the need to push the segment in the gap between the roll of the rotor and the surface of
the stator.
A sensor detects when the cover is open and the pump is not running.
The mechanism that activates the venous pump is composed of:
• a DC motor
• a control board
• a rotor.
The 24V DC pump motor can be operated in either the forward (counter-clockwise) or reverse
(clockwise) directions. During dialysis, the pump moves in the forward direction. During prime, the pump
moves in the reverse direction.
In Volume Control mode treatments the operator sets the Venous Pump speed between 20 and 450 ml/
minute in increments of 5 ml/minute.
In Pressure Control mode treatments the operator sets the TMP and the Venous Pump speed will vary
between 0 and 450 ml/minute.
The machine will generate a “VENOUS PUMP SPEED ERROR #157” alarm if it detects that the pump is
not running when it is commanded to run.
Code SM_9033239200_03 Rev. / 3-21

NOTE
The Venous Pump Motor reducer is equal, compatible and interchangeable with the Arterial
Pump Motor reducer.
3.8 Venous Pump cover

The Venous Pump Cover protects the Users form the Venous Rotors when the machine is operating.
On the bottom outside corner of the Cover, there is a magnet which is attracted by another magnet
positioned behind the Front Panel. Their purpose is to hold the Cover in the close position.
On the Cover, there is another magnet that is detected by a Hall sensor positioned directly behind the
Front Panel. This sensor will immediately inform the operator if the cover is not securely closed and the
venous pump will not run. With the venous pump cover closed, the Hall sensor device reads magnetic flux
of the magnet in the door and will allow the venous pump to run.
The Venous Cover Position sensor is connected to the board which detects the Magnets of the Pump
Rotor. The signals are then transferred to the Blood Pump Board and then to the motherboard.
The system generates a “VENOUS PUMP COVER IS OPEN #149” alarm message whenever the cover
is open. If the cover is OPEN while the blood pump is running the pump will stop and all blood pump
controls will be disabled. The cover must be closed to re-enable pump functions.
The status of the Venous Pump Cover signal can be seen on the Service Screen Pages indicating when
the blood pump cover is sensed open or closed. The voltage output of the Hall sensor is approximately 5
volts when the cover is open and approximately 0 volts when the cover is closed.
3.9 Venous Pump rotor with crank

The Venous Pump rotor is a spring-loaded dual-roller assembly that is mounted to the shaft of the blood
pump motor. It has two hinged self-occluding roller arms that are used to press the blood pump segment
against the raceway and provide the occlusion pressure necessary to move fluid through the Ultra
Cassette. The rollers are factory set at their occlusion setting.
The rotor assembly also has two magnets mounted on the back. Just above of the venous pump motor
shaft, mounted between the motor and the front panel, there is a board which holds two hall-effect sensors
used to monitor the rotor magnets. The sensors are used to position the rollers in the horizontal position,
and also are used to verify direction control.
The system looks at the encoder to verify operation. It will also generate this alarm
The protective module generates a ‘’SAFE STATE ACTIVATED’’ alarm if the pump rotor is locked up
because of venous pump tubing or a defective motor reducer.
NOTE
The Venous Pump Rotor is equal, compatible and interchangeable with the Arterial Pump
Rotor.
3.10 Blood Sensor

The Blood Sensor is located in the sensor bar. The Blood Sensor is an optical device composed of an
infrared transmitter LED and an infrared receiver LED and is used to detect four separate conditions:
• absence of tubing
• presence of tubing
• presence of tubing with saline
3-22 Code SM_9033239200_03 Rev. /

• presence of blood in the tubing
Prior to blood detection by the Blood Sensor, certain alarms are in an automatic software pause
condition such as:
• Air and Bubble detection
• Venous pressure (not the maximum pressure level)
• Alarms that are triggered during treatment
Once blood has been detected, the Protective system is put into full activity assuming that there is a
patient connected to the machine. During normal operation, as long as the machine is in the dialysis
treatment, and blood was sensed, the Blood Sensor essentially is turned off indicating that there is blood
for the remainder of the treatment.
3.11 Air Detector

The air detector located also in the sensor bar.
The air detector, monitored by the protective module, is an ultrasonic air bubble detector that senses air
in the blood or saline. It can detect if there is a bubble that is 20 microlitres or larger. If a bubble of this size
passes between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver signal will drop due to the bubble absorbing a
portion of the signal which results in an “AIR IN VENOUS LINE #4” alarm. When the blood pump is on and
air is detected, the blood pump stops and the venous line clamp immediately closes. This prevents any air
being returned to the patient.
The Ultrasonic Transmitter and the Ultrasonic Receiver are located in the sensor bar and the PIB Board
has the purpose to manage the signals to and from the Air Detector sensor.
A signal of 2.45 MHz, 15 volt peak to peak, provides the power to drive the transmitter ultrasonic
transducer.
The signal from the receiver transducer is amplified by the receiver amplifier. The signal is then
converted into a dc voltage and then filtered.
Automatic gain control (AGC) is used to maintain a constant average ultrasonic signal level by providing
feedback to the transducer drive circuitry. If the signal from the receiver transducer is less than the
reference voltage, the output of the AGC increases. If the receiver signal voltage is greater than the
reference voltage, the AGC circuit output decreases. The automatic gain control though must not be so fast
to mask the output of the circuit when a bubble passes through the transducer. For this reason a very slow
low pass filter is in place so that it is possible to detect the changes in signal due to a bubble passage.
There is a threshold that the receiver signal is checked against. When this threshold is reached, an air
bubble of 20 microlitres in size or larger is detected.
The Air Detector sensitivity is pre-calibrated and it does not require any further calibration.
The Air Detector must continuously detect fluid in the tubing during the treatment or after blood has
been detected otherwise the system generates an alarm ‘’AIR IN VENOUS LINE #4’’, stops the blood
pump, and clamps the venous patient line.
Once the alarm has been triggered, the air detector condition needs to be cleared to continue.
3.12 Line presence sensors

The line presence sensor switches are optical switches located in the sensor bar that detect the
presence of the venous and arterial patient lines.
Code SM_9033239200_03 Rev. / 3-23

3.13 Hemoscan sensor

The hemoscan sensor is an optical device located in the sensor bar.
3.14 Venous line clamp

The Venous line clamp Is located between the sensors bar and the end of the venous patient line where
the needle is connected. Its primary purpose is to prevent unsafe blood from flowing to the patient if an
alarm condition exists. When the venous line clamp is closed the blood pump is stopped and there will be
no flow through the blood lines.
The venous line clamp closes during the following conditions:
• Air is detected in the venous patient line
• Blood is detected in the dialysis fluid
• Power to the machine is lost
• Venous pressure alarm occurs
The voltage to the clamp driver circuit is 0 Vdc when the machine is in an alarm mode and about +24
Vdc when it is safe to move blood to and from the patient. If power fails, the venous line clamp is closed by
the high-force expansion spring. A signal from an optical sensor in the clamp assembly indicates whether
the clamp is open or closed. This signal is monitored by both the Blood Slave control and the Protective
system.
3.15 Arterial line clamp

The arterial line clamp is an occlusive clamp similar to the venous line clamp. Is located between the
sensors bar and the end of the arterial patient line. Closes the arterial patient line during some self-tests,
and when power is off.
The arterial line clamp is used for single needle dialysis.
When operated in a single needle procedure the venous line clamp is closed during the arterial phase.
This prevents blood from returning to the patient or from being shunted back into the arterial blood line.
During the arterial phase, the arterial line clamp is open to draw blood into arterial chamber. During the
venous phase the clamps reverse, and the venous line opens, allowing blood to return to the patient.
3.16 Infusion Clamp

The infusion clamp is an occlusive clamp similar to the venous and arterial line clamps.
Is located between the ultra prime filter and the end of the ultra connector in OL HD-DN, OL HD-DNDP
and OL HD-SN treatments and between the Ultrafilter and the end of the ultra connector in HDF/HF
treatments.
Automatic closure is applied when required by an alarm as part of a specific safety state.
The infusion clamp is used in OL HD-DN, OL HD-DNDP and OL HD-SN treatments when using the
ULTRA Prime feature. Is always closed except during Priming, Bolus and Rinseback.
3.17 Heparin Pump

The heparin pump is used to infuse heparin into the blood circuit just before the blood enters the dialyzer
to prevent coagulation or clotting of the blood during the dialysis process. The heparin pump will begin to
infuse heparin as soon as blood has been detected or after 30 ml of blood have been accumulated since
Patient Connection start, whichever condition comes first.
The syringe plunger lock holds the syringe plunger and the heparin syringe plunger is driven upwards by
the heparin pump stepper motor and worm gear mechanism, to push heparin into the blood circuit at the
specified rate. The stepper motor will move the plunger down until it reaches the end of its travel to allow
heparin syringe installation.
3-24 Code SM_9033239200_03 Rev. /

There are three optical sensors in the Heparin pump assembly that monitor the following:
• heparin syringe end-of-travel (upper side)
• heparin syringe end-of-travel (lower side)
• heparin pump motor encoder.
Heparin syringe end-of-travel (upper side): the motor continues to push on the plunger until a spring
loaded plate interrupts the end of travel infrared optical signal. When the processor detects the end-of-
travel the pump motor is stopped. The system will generate an “HEPARIN PUMP OVERLOAD #55” when
the end of travel limit is detected.
The voltage across the optical sensor output on the P2 connector pin 1 with respect to pin 9 (heparin
board) is about 5 Vdc during normal operation and about +0 Vdc when the end-of -travel limit has been
reached. The signal is monitored by the blood slave control.
Heparin syringe end-of-travel (lower side): the heparin pump optical switch is used to stop the motor
when the operator has OPEN the pump carriage to the maximum distance. The voltage across the optical
sensor output on the P2 connector pin 2 with respect to pin 10 (heparin board) is about 5 Vdc during normal
operation and about +0 Vdc when the maximum distance the carriage can be OPEN has been reached.
There are no alarms associated with this optical sensor.
The heparin pump encoder sends a signal to the Blood slave board relating to the speed of the heparin
motor. The voltage across the optical sensor output on the P2 connector pin 11 with respect to pin 12
(heparin board) is toggle between about 5 Vdc and about +0 Vdc when the heparin pump is running.

3.19 Blood Pressure Monitor (BPM)

3.19.1 General
The Blood Pressure Monitor (BPM) is intended to be used during a dialysis treatment, to measure
arterial blood pressure, using an inflatable pressure cuff.
The BPM measure alone is not intended to be a diagnostic source: the information originating
from the BPM CAN NOT be used as a unique source of information to induce any therapeutic or
pharmacological actions.
The BPM connects to the Blood Slave board through a RS232 serial port. A port on the rear panel
connects to the patient blood pressure cuff.
The BPM circuit board is located in the Connectivity Panel on the rear side of the machine.
ETHERNET
3 3
USB 4 2
1 1
BPM
The BPM can trigger an alarm if the device fails taking a measurement or the measurement values are
outside a range preset by the operator. The alarm will not interfere in any case with the ongoing treatment.
To accomplish the measurement, the BPM uses the Oscilometric method.
3.19.2 Oscilometric Blood Pressure Measurement Method

The BPM uses a blood pressure cuff to apply pressure to the artery.
The arterial pressure pulses are coupled in the cuff and result in pulses (oscillations) modulating the cuff
pressure. The maximum amplitude of these oscillometric pulses occurs at mean blood pressure.
The BPM plots the amplitude of the oscillometric pulses against the cuff pressure and then interpolates
the systolic and diastolic blood pressures from the plot.
3.19.3 Accuracy
Blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) accuracy:
1. Maximum mean error of measurement: ± 5 mmHg
2. Maximum standard deviation of error: 8 mmHg
The BPM was clinically investigated according to:
• ANSI/AAMI standard SP10
not applicable to Artis Dialysis System in Physio II configuration
• EN 1060-3/4
• ISO 81060-2:2013
applicable only to Artis Dialysis System in Physio II configuration
Code SM_9033239200_03 Rev. / 3-27

3.19.4 Measurement ranges

The following measurement ranges are applied:
HDBPM NiBPM
• Systolic: +60 to +255 mmHg • Systolic: +40 to +260 mmHg
• Diastolic: +30 to +195 mmHg • Diastolic: +20 to +200 mmHg
• Pulse rate: 30 to 200 beats per minute • Pulse rate: 30 to 220 beats per minute
3.19.5 Cycle time

The typical measurement cycle time is approximately 35 s.
Anyway, the maximum cycle time will not be greater than 160 s.
3.19.6 Zero setting
The BPM is able to automatically set the pressure transducer channel to zero, at appropriate intervals at
last staring after switching on the BPM system.
3.19.7 Composition
HDBPM
The inflation bags and the tube in the BPM cuff are made of a latex-free material.
The external materials of the inflation bags that are in contact with the patient are made of Dupont
Dacron Polyester with the hook and loop closures made of Dupont Nylon.
These materials have been tested by NAMSA (North American Science Associates) and are in
compliance with bio-compatibility standards for irritation and skin sensitivity.
NiBPM
The cuff bladder and the cuff shell are made of nylon. The cuff hose is made of silicon.
All cuffs are latex and PVC free and have been tested for bio-compatibility.
3.19.8 Cuff cleaning
HDBPM
Small soiled or stained areas may be cleaned by gentle scrubbing with a sponge or cloth soaked in mild
soap or water solution.
NiBPM
The cuff may be cleaned with a mild disinfectant spray, rinsed with distilled water, and line dry. Ensure
that no liquid enters the bladder tubing.
Or:
Remove bladder to machine wash the cuff shell. Machine wash warm with a mild detergent (50 - 130 °F,
10 - 54 °C) and line dry.
3.19.9 Cuff pressure

The maximum cuff pressure is 300 mmHg.
An adult cuff will inflate from 50 to 250 mmHg in a maximum time of 10 s (at sea level, with a cuff for 24/
32 cm arm circumference of 120 ml volume).
In the event of a total or partial power failure, the cuff automatically deflates to less than 15 mmHg within 30 s.
3-28 Code SM_9033239200_03 Rev. /

! WARNING
Only use the BPM on adult and children patients with a body weight greater than 25 Kg, using
a Blood Pressure Cuff of the appropriate size. The BPM must not be used with neonatal and
pregnant patients (including pre-eclamptic).

keyboard buttons located below the LCD display. The LCD and the PC104 board are directly connected by
a LVDS channel; the LCD is powered directly by the PC104 board.
Tables 4.1 and 4.2 show the Main slave board Mother board connections.
4.1.1 Flash Memory

On the PC board, program and data are stored in a industrial 256 MB Compact Flash or 512 MB
Compact Flash (only for PCM9375). Compact Flash memory re-programming is possible only through the
USB port on the back panel of the machine.
4.1.2 Liquid Crystal Display and Touch Screen

A 15 inch (31 cm) TFT-LCD and Touch Screen are used for the operator interface. The module contains
driver IC's, control circuits and the back-lighting power supply. It uses 18 bit data signals (6bit/color), four
timing signals, and 3.3 Vdc supply voltage. Color Graphics and text can be displayed on the 1024 x 768
pixel panel. The display has a wide viewing angle.
A touch screen controller board is mounted on the rear of the LCD module and is used to convert the
five-wire resistive X-Y coordinate analog touch inputs to serial RS232 levels. The touch screen controller
output is connected to the COM1 port on the PC board.
The touch screen glass panel has a coating of uniform resistivity and is formed to fit the shape of the
LCD display. A polyester cover sheet is tightly suspended over the top of the glass, separated from it by
small, transparent insulating dots. The cover sheet has a hard durable coating on the outer side and a
conductive coating on the inner side. With a light touch, the conductive coating makes electrical contact
with the coating on the glass. An audio circuit provides tactile feedback whenever the screen is touched.
The controller circuit applies a voltage gradient across the resistive surface of the glass. The voltages at
the point of contact are the analog representation of the position touched and will be between 0 and 5 vdc.
The controller digitizes these voltages and sends them to the PC board for processing.

4.2 Control/Protective Systems

Each of the four slave boards uses a control system for the functions related to that board. A Protective
slave system is connected with the Hydraulic slave, Bio slave and Blood slave boards and provides
redundancy and overall control of the safety systems. In general, each slave uses its control system to
drive components, for example motors and valves, while the Protective system monitors or controls some
of those same components as well as other sensors and switches. The Protective system also controls
certain components that directly affect patient safety such as the 24V relay, venous line clamp, alarm
lamps, and audio alarms. The Protective system also initiates and controls the T1 Test each time the
machine is turned on.
4.2.1 SPI Communication Bus

The Main board acts as the master controller for communicating through the SPI bus with the four slave
boards using a dual port RAM and 68HC11 processor on the Main board as the communications processor.
Each of the four slave boards have a processor acting as a slave to the master controller. All signals
between a slave board and the Main board, whether digital or analog signals, are exchanged through the
SPI bus. Figure 4-2 shows the system block diagram.

4.3 Blood Slave Board

This board is responsible for blood module functions. Figure 4-3 shows the components that connect to
the Blood slave board. Tables 4.3 and 4.4 show the Blood slave board Mother board connections.

The Main board acts as the master controller for communicating through the SPI bus with the Blood
slave board using a dual port RAM and 68HC11 processor on the Main board as the communications
processor. Another 68HC11 processor on the Blood slave board acts as a slave to the master controller. All
signals between the slave board and the Main board, whether digital or analog signals, are connected to
the SPI bus through the mother board.
4.3.2 Arterial Pump and Venous Pump

The blood pump motor (ARTPUMP and VENPUMP) is a 24 Volt DC permanent magnet brushless motor
driven from the Blood Pump Motor board located on the blood pump motor assembly. The board
interconnects with both the Blood slave and Protective slave boards. Up/down keys on the Hard Key panel
allow the operator to set the blood pump speed.
Arterial pump speed (ARTPUMP) and direction (ARTPUMPDIR) 5 volt logic commands are sent from
the Blood slave board to the blood pump driver board.
Venous pump speed (VENPUMP) and direction (VENPUMPPDIR) 5 volt logic commands are sent from
the Blood slave board to the blood pump driver board.
4.3.3 Arterial Pump Encoder and Venous Pump Encoder

A motor speed feedback signal from an optical encoder is mounted onto the blood pump motor shaft. It
gives 32 pulses per rotation of the motor shaft. The inputs (respectively AF and VENF) to the Blood slave
board is from the Blood Pump Motor board and are 5 volt pulses. The encoder pulses are also sent to the
Protective slave board.
4.3.4 Arterial and Venous Pump Cover Sensors

Opening the blood pump cover (ARTC and VENC) prevents the blood pump (ARTPUMP and
VENPUMP) from running. A Hall sensor is used to sense the blood pump cover position. A small magnet
mounted in the door is detected by the Hall sensor when the cover is closed causing the signal level to
change from about 5 Vdc (cover open) to about 0 vdc (cover closed). The input (CAP) to the Blood slave
board is 5 a volt logic signal.
4.3.5 Arterial and Venous Pump Rotors and Direction Hall Sensors
Two Hall sensors are mounted close together behind the front panel and on the pump housing AP and
VenP). They are use to sense the pump rotor position (APP and VenPP) and the direction of pump rotation
(APP2 and VenPP2). The rotor position signal is used to stop the pump rotor in a position that makes it
easy to install the blood cassette pump header. Rotor direction is determined by whether the APP (VenPP)
signal or APP2 (VenPP2) occurs first. Only the rotor position Hall sensor is connected to the Blood slave
board while both signals connect to the to the Protective slave board. These 4 signals are 5 volt logic
signals that are about 0 volts when a Hall sensor detects the rotor magnet.
4.3.6 Cassette sensors

Two small switches have been placed in the right and left sides of the cassette panel. The switches
detect whether the Blood Cassette is correctly positioned after loading or unloading or if the right type of
Cassette has been installed on the machine after the loading phase according to the treatment selected.
The switches are connected to the Blood slave board through the Main board. When the Blood Cassette
push the switches, they are closed and connect the +5 Vdc to the Blood slave.
Code SM_9033239200_04 Rev. / 4-9

4.3.7 Venous Line Clamp

The venous line clamp is driven by the AVI Clamps board mounted on the front panel on the venous line
clamp assembly. A clamp enable signal (VC) from the Blood slave board to the AVI Clamps board enables
the venous line clamp to open. This signal is also sent to the Venous line clamp from the Protective slave
board (The two signals are connected in wired AND mode, so if at least one of the two boards commands
the clamp closure, it will be closed).
An optical sensor on the venous line clamp assembly senses the clamp position and connects that
signal (VCP) to both the Blood slave and Protective slave boards. Both VC and VCP signals are 5 volt
logic. A switch also detects whether the venous patient line has been properly placed in the clamp holder.
The switch output (LVCS) is a 5 volt logic signal that connects to the Protective slave board.
4.3.8 Arterial Line Clamp

The arterial line clamp is driven by the AVI Clamps board mounted on the front panel on the arterial line
clamp assembly. A clamp enable signal (AC) from the Blood slave board to the AVI Clamps board enables
the arterial line clamp to open. This signal is also sent to the Arterial line clamp from the Protective slave
board (The two signals are connected in wired AND mode, so if at least one of the two boards commands
the clamp closure, it will be closed).
An optical sensor on the arterial line clamp assembly senses the clamp position and connects that
signal (ACP) to both the Blood slave and Protective slave boards. Both AC and ACP signals are 5 volt
logic. A switch also detects whether the arterial patient line has been properly placed in the clamp holder.
The switch output (LACS) is a 5 volt logic signal that connects to the Protective slave board.
4.3.9 Infusion Clamp

The infusion clamp is driven by the AVI Clamps board mounted on the front panel on the Infusion clamp
assembly. A clamp enable signal (PINCHRLY) from the Blood slave board to the AVI Clamps board enables
the Infusion clamp to open. This signal is also sent to the Infusion Clamp from the Protective slave board
(The two signals are connected in wired AND mode, so if at least one of the two boards commands the
clamp closure, it will be closed).
An optical sensor on the Infusion clamp assembly senses the clamp position and connects that signal
(SW1PINCH) to both the Blood slave and Protective slave boards. Both PINCHRLY and SW1PINCH
signals are 5 volt logic. A switch also detects whether the Ultra connector has been properly placed in the
clamp holder. The switch output (SW2PINCH) is a 5 volt logic signal that connects to the Protective slave
board.
4.3.10 Arterial, Venous and SN Pressure Transducers

The arterial, venous and SN pressure transducers are four-wire strain gauge transducers with 5 Vdc
excitation. The transducer outputs are connected to the PIB board. Two signals connect the differential
analog voltages (ABP- and ABP+ for arterial pressure; VBP- and VBP+ for venous pressure; SystP- and
SystP+ for SN pressure) from the PIB board to the Blood slave and Protective slave boards. Hydraulic
Venous and SN pressure values are used by the algorithm that calculates the dialyzer transmembrane
pressure (TMP).
4.3.11 Heparin Pump

The heparin pump motor is a 24 volt four-phase stepper motor. Motor control and drive circuitry are
located on a front panel circuit board that is mounted to the heparin motor assembly. The increase/
decrease switches of the heparin panel are used by the operator to position the heparin syringe. Speed
control (HEP) and direction (DHEP) are 5 volt logic signals from the Blood slave board to the Heparin Driver
board. An LED on the heparin panel is controlled by a 5 volt logic signal (LEDH) from the Blood slave board
and is lit when the heparin pump is turned on.
4.3.12 Heparin Pump Encoder

An optical encoder mounted to the motor shaft provides feedback pulses to monitor the heparin delivery
rate. The input (FHEP) to the Blood slave board from the Heparin Driver board is 5 volt pulses. The
4-10 Code SM_9033239200_04 Rev. /

encoder pulses are also sent to the Protective slave board but not used at this time.
4.3.13 Heparin Pump Limit Switches

Two optical switches are used to detect extreme heparin travel. The low limit switch (LOWL) is acquired
from Blood slave and it stops the heparin motor while the upper limit switch (OVL) causes the blood slave to
stop the motor and activates an alarm that the heparin syringe is empty. This could be due to over pressure
inside the heparin syringe or a mechanical problem. Both signals are 5 volt logic inputs to the Blood slave
board.
4.3.14 Blood Pressure Monitor (BPM)

The Blood Pressure Monitor circuit board is on the rear Connectivity panel. An RS232 serial connection
(RXD232B/TXD232B) is used for communication between the Blood Pressure Monitor board and the Blood
slave board. BPM control is through the Touch Screen or control panel.
Artis Dialysis System is compatible with two types of BPM board assy:
• HDBPM board assy
• NiBPM board assy
The installation on the Artis Dialysis System of these 2 types of BPM boards assy generates two
different calibration behaviours:
If on the Artis Dialysis System, HDBPM board assy is installed, BOTH “BPM Pressure Sensor” and
“BPM Safety Switch” calibration procedures must be performed (for more information see the paragraph
“7.4 Calibration Procedures” of this service manual).
• If on the Artis Dialysis System, NiBPM board assy is installed, ONLY “BPM Pressure Sensor” calibra-
tion procedure must be performed. In this case the “BPM SAFETY SWITCH” button from the CALIB
HOME screen becomes unavailable (for more information see the paragraph “7.4 Calibration Proce-
dures”“of this service manual).
4.3.15 Cassette loader assy

Include travel limit switches to detect extrem loader travel, a 3 electrovalves unit allowing the loading/
unloading of the 3 types of cassettes (EVDR, EVDN, EVSN) and a air compressor controlled by the Blood
slave board which are fixed on the Cassette loader panel.
4.3.15.1 Compressor
It compress air, flowing either through EVDR or EVDN or EVSN, used to make move the cassette
loading hooks so as to load/unload the Blood Cassette. It is controlled by the Blood slave board and fixed
on the rear of the Cassette panel.
4.3.16 Sensor bar assy

4.3.16.1 Air detector assy

Include ultrasonic air detector, optical Blood Sensor, venous line presence sensor.
4.3.16.2 Hemoscan assy

Include Hemoscan Sensor - optical device sensor, arterial line presence sensor.
The Hemoscan system is based on the measurement of the variation of the blood Hemoglobin
concentration (Hgb) during the dialysis treatment. The methodology used for the measurement of the
hemoglobin concentration is based on the evaluation of the optical absorbance of the blood that flows into
the arterial line.
The optical sensor (composed by one transmitter led (TX) and one receiver photodiode (RX) is directly
clipped on the blood line, which output signal is acquired and handled by the HDF Post Treatment or
BIOSLAVE software in order to compute the Hgb value.
Code SM_9033239200_04 Rev. / 4-11

4.3.16.3 Ultra port

The Ultra port is used in HD and HDF/HF Treatments. This port allows the passage of on-line prepared
substitution and infusion fluid into the Ultra line. In HDF/HF Treatments, it can deliver fluid used as
substitution fluid either in Pre or Post dilution.
4.3.16.4 Sensor Bar Door and Ultra Door Sensors

There are two doors to secure the blood lines in place, one for the Hemoscan and AD assemblies; one

This board is responsible for hydraulic module functions. Figures 4-4, 4-5 and 4-6 show the components
that connect to the Hydraulic slave board. Tables 4.5 and 4.6 show the Hydraulic slave board Mother board
connections.

The Main board acts as the master controller for communicating through the SPI bus with the Hydraulic
slave board using a dual port RAM and 68HC11 processor on the Main board as the communications
processor. The processor on the Hydraulic slave board acts as a slave to the master controller. All signals
between the slave board and the Main board, whether digital or analog signals, are connected to the SPI
bus through the mother board.
4.4.2 Dialysis Fluid connector sensors (SWDCSIN and SWDCSOUT)

Two hall sensors placed in the dialysis fluid connector pipes allow to detect whether the inlet and outlet
dialyate connectors are connected to the machine or not.
When dialysis fluid connector is on the machine, the sensor connects 5 Vdc to the Hydraulic slave board.
4.4.3 Water Inlet Pressure Switch (SWP)

SWP is part of the R1 pressure regulator assembly. The water inlet pressure switch can turn off all the
actuators, particularly the heater. Signal SWP is a 5 volt logic input to the Hydraulic slave board.
4.4.4 Hydraulic Solenoid Valves 2 and 3 ways

A 2 way Valve it’s a valve with two ports valves. Operating positions for these valves can be:
• closed-no flow at all goes through it
• open - for maximum flow
A 3 way Valve it’s a valve with three ports valves. Operating positions for these valves can be:
- the flow coming in at one port can be directed:
• to the second port in one position
• to the third port in another position
Inlet water valve EVH2O opens to allow water into the hydraulic flow path. It is a normally closed 24
Vdc solenoid-operated valve. A FET transistor on the Hydraulic slave board provides the output drive
voltage to EVH2O.
4.4.5 Heater Flow Switch (LFP)

The heater optical flow sensor (LFP) is located at the heater inlet to monitor flow into the heater
chamber. If flow is not present, the flow sensor will turn off the heater. The flow sensor has an LED that
transmits an infrared light beam to the base of a photo transistor when water is flowing through the flow
sensor. A PLASTIC FLOAT in the flow sensor interrupts the beam when there is no flow. The flow sensor
output is taken from the photo transistor collector and goes low (below +0.8 Vdc) when the beam is not
interrupted and goes lhigh (above +3.0 Vdc) when the beam is interrupted. The LFP signal output is
connected to the Hydraulic slave board.
4.4.6 Dialysis Fluid Flow Switch (LFD)

The dialysis fluid flow sensor verifies that there is flow through the bypass block and that it is in the right
direction; i.e., that the To Dialyzer (blue connector) and From Dialyzer (red connector) lines are connected
to the correct ports on the bypass block. The flow sensor has an LED that transmits an infrared beam to the
base of a photo transistor when there is flow and it is in the right direction. A float inside a flow tube
interrupts the beam when flow is in the wrong direction. The flow sensor output is taken from the transistor
collector and goes low (below +0.8 Vdc) when flow is detected and goes high (above +3.0 Vdc) when flow
Code SM_9033239200_04 Rev. / 4-15

is not detected. The LFD signal connects to the Hydraulic slave board.
4.4.7 Drain Pressure Switch (SWP1)

The drain pressure switch monitors pressure in the drain line and activates a drain pressure high alarm.
The signal is a 5 Vdc logic input to the Hydraulic slave board.
4.4.8 Degassing Pump (PC)

The Hydraulic slave board controls the PC degassing pump speed and insure the degassing of the
water used for the dialysis fluid preparation. The Hydraulic slave provides the PC frequency modulated 5
Vdc logic signal to control the pump speed. A DC driver board attached to the PC pump assembly provides
the voltage to the DC motor that drives the gear pump. The PC speed command from the Hydraulic slave to
the DC pump driver board is a frequency modulated 5 Vdc logic signal.
4.4.9 Flow Pump (P1)

command from the Hydraulic slave to the DC pump driver board is a frequency modulated 5 Vdc logic
signal.
4.4.10 Flow Pump (P2)

The Hydraulic slave board controls and regulates the P2 flow pump to the same flow rate as the D1
flowmeter flow plus the patient UF flow rate that has been set by the operator. A DC driver board attached

Dialysis the Flowmeter D2c adjusts the speed of P2. The P2 speed command from the Hydraulic slave to
the pump driver board is a frequency modulated 5 Vdc logic signal.
4.4.11 WHO pump (PWHO)

The Hydraulic slave board controls and regulates the PWHO flow pump. During the priming and
emptiying phases Pdrain sensor is used in the control loop of PWHO. A DC driver board attached to the
PWHO pump assembly provides the drive voltage to the DC motor that drives the gear pump and feedback
pulses (FPWHO) to the Hydraulic slave board to monitor the pump speed. WHO pump speed is controlled
by PD pressure sensor. The PWHO speed command from the Hydraulic slave to the pump driver board is a
frequency modulated 5 Vdc logic signal.
4.4.12 D1c and D2c Control Flowmeters

Two electromagnetic flowmeters are used to ensure the correct function of the flow rate measurement;
they send to the Hydraulic Slave Board and to the Protective Slave Board via 5 Vdc logic signal frequencies
which are porportional to the flow rate.
4.4.12.1 D1c Flowmeter

Flowmeter D1c monitors the fluid flow rate pre-dialyzer and sends flow pulses to the Hydraulic slave
board. The FD1c 5 Vdc logic signal frequency is proportional to the flow rate. D1c and D2c signals are also
used during the flowmeter taration procedure (hydraulic phase n.31) to control and monitor the equality of
flow from D1c and D2c. During this phase also low drift error are compensated updating a correction K
factor by software since this error would have an implication on the ultrafiltration rate accuracy.
4.4.12.2 D2c Flowmeter

Flowmeter D2c monitors the fluid flow rate post-dialyzer and sends flow pulses to the Hydraulic slave
board. The FD2c 5 Vdc logic signal frequency is proportional to the flow rate. The P1 pump speed is
controlled so that it is equal to the set value of the dialysis fluid flowrate. The P2 pump speed is controlled
so that D2c flow is equal to the D1c flow plus WLR (this also means that P2 flow is equal to D1c flow plus
the patient UF). During the dialysis treatment WLR equals to D2c minus D1c and to D2p minus K*D1p.
4-16 Code SM_9033239200_04 Rev. /

4.4.13 PDR Drain Pressure Sensor

The drain pressure sensor monitors the pressure of the effluent going to the drain. During the priming
and emptying phases PDR sensor is used in the control loop of PWHO pump. Fluid flowing through the PD

The PO pressure sensor monitors the pressure post-dialyzer when the machine is not in bypass and is
used to detect over depression condition in the dialyser. Some alarms and cautions related to the pressure
monitoring in the dialyzer are triggered by PO sensor. PO value is also used by the algorithm that
calculates the dialyzer transmembrane pressure (TMP). The PO+ and PO- differential analog output is sent
to both the Hydraulic and Protective slave boards for A/D converter processing.
4.4.16 PI Pressure Sensor

The PI pressure sensor monitors the pre-dialyzer fluid pressure and is used to detect over-pressure
condition in the dialyzer. Some alarms and cautions related to the pressure monitoring in the dialyzer are

ultrafiler. The PFS+ and PFS- differential analog output is sent to the Hydraulic board for A/D converter
processing.
4.4.18 Concentrate Pumps (PA, PB and PSe)

During treatment PA, PB and PSe pumps are used to add the liquid concentrates to prepare the dialysis
fluid. These pumps are ceramic type pumps; they consist of a very accurate dosage pumps because of a
known and constant displacement of the piston. The volume of concentrate which is introduced through
inlet is thus very accurately determined by the number of revolutions of the dosage pump.

inlet is thus very accurately determined by the number of revolutions of the dosage pump.
Disinfection pump PS is monitored and controlled by Hydraulic slave board. The concentrate motor
driver board attached to the PS pump assembly provides the command to drive the pump. The speed
commands are 5 Vdc frequency modulated pulses from the Hydraulics slave board; the direction
commands and the initial motor boost commands are 5 Vdc logic signals which are sent by the Hydraulic
slave board.
4.4.20 Conductivity Cells Assemblies (ΓcA, ΓcB, ΓcD)

The 3 conductivity cells assemblies consist of a Conductivity Cell and an Electronic Board each. They
provide information concerning current conductivity and temperature values to the hydraulic I2C board.
They provide also an output from each cell that is proportional to dialysis fluid conductivity.
4.4.20.1 For the dialysis fluid preparation (ΓcA, ΓcB)

Used to control the dialysis fluid conductivity while the dialysis fluid is prepared and before it is
delivered. The desired conductivity is achieved by the conductivity cells comparing the measured value of
conductivity with the desired or set point conductivity value. If different, then the concentrate pump's speed
will be adjusted (increased or decreased) until the measured value of conductivity is equal to the set point
value. Temperature compensation is provided by thermistors TcA and TcB located on the conductivity cell
assemblies and is connected to the conductivity cell board. The analog signals of the thermistors are
connected to the conductivity cell board; the conductivity cell and temperature values are connected to the
Hydraulics slave board via I2C.
4.4.20.2 For the Diascan (ΓD)

ΓD is used to measure the conductivity of the fluid flowing out from the dialysis fluid outlet of the filter.
This cell conductivity is located downstream the BLD. Temperature compensation is provided by the
thermistor TcD located on the conductivity cell assemblies and is applied at the conductivity cell board. The
analog signals of the thermistor is connected to the conductivity cell board; the conductivity signal is
connected to the Hydraulic slave board via I2C. From the conductivity measures the dialysance of ionised
substances and the plasma conductivity of the patient are calculed; these measures are used in the
Diacontrol biofeedback mode.
4.4.21 Level Sensors (LP, LD1, LD2)

These optical level sensors are located near the top of the BTP, BT1, and BT2 bubble traps and are
used to sense air or water in order to remove the air that accumulates in these chambers. Each optical
level sensor assembly contains an infrared LED and photo transistor that sends a logic signal to the
Hydraulic slave board (air=3.5 to 5 Vdc, fluid = < 0.8 Vdc).
4.4.22 Heater (FLICK) Temperature Sensors (TP, TpA), (STH)

4.4.22.1 FLICK
The heater (FLICK) heats the incoming water. The heater body consists of either 1400 watt heating
device for 115Vac/16A machines or a 1750 watt one for 230Vac/10A machines, a temperature sensor
(STH) connected to the OVTemp3 board.
4-18 Code SM_9033239200_04 Rev. /

4.4.22.2 Temperature sensor STH

Temperature sensor STH is a PT 1000 located outside of the heater body. STH sensor is directly
connected to the OVTemp3 board and can disable the heater to prevent over temperature of the core of the
heater.
4.4.22.3 Temperature sensor TP

TP sensor is located between the pump PC and the outlet of the heater. It is a Pt100 temperature
sensor. During the treatment the heater is enabled and controlled in a control loop by the the sensor TP
through the Hydraulic slave board so that temperature measured by temperature sensor TP equals the set
value by the operator (usually around 37 °C).
During the heat/heat with CleanCart Cartridge disinfection program the water temperature is
automatically controlled in a control loop by TP sensor at fixed (unsetteable) temperature command values.
TP sensor is connected to the Hydraulic slave board and controls the heater.
4.4.22.4 Temperature sensor TcA

TcA sensor is located in the conductivity cell ΓcA. It is a Thermistor temperature sensor. During the
treatment TcA monitors the temperature of the dialysis fluid. During the heat/heat with CleanCart Cartridge
disinfection the water temperature is automatically controlled in a control loop by TP sensor at fixed
(unsetteable) temperature command values. TcA sensor is connected to Hydraulic slave board through the
protective I2C board and can triggered alarms.
4.4.22.5 Relais, OptoTriac and Over temperature board: OVTemp3 board

The Over Temperature board is located in the power supply rack and fixed on the rear rotable panel of
the power supply rack. It receives the control signals from the Hydraulic slave board and delivers the
signals to a solid state relay (Optotriac) and a mechanical relay to activate or deactiactive the heater; a red
led on the OverTemp3 board indicates if the board functions properly. In case of alarm or error, the control
signals transmission is interrupted and consequently the heater is stopped.
Both the solid state relay and the mechanical relay are located between the main power and the heater.
The mechanical relay changes state from open to close when heater has to be switched on. The solid state
relay controls the heater by a duty cycle control technique under a closed loop-control including TP sensor
so as to the temperature measured by TP sensor reaches the command value.

4.5 Protective Slave Board

This board is responsible for all safety and protection functions. Figures 4-2 through 4-6 show the
components that connect to the Protective slave board. Tables 4.7 and 4.8 show the Protective board
Mother board connections.
4.5.1 Air Detector

Circuitry for the air detector is located on the PIB board. The air detector circuit uses an ultrasonic
technique. The detector assembly consists of two piezoelectric ultrasound transducers. Ultrasound emitted
by one transducer is sent through the plastic tubing that is part of the disposable blood tubing set used on
the machine and is detected by the second transducer. When an air bubble passes through the detection
area, some of the sound is absorbed and causes a reduction in the level of sound detected by the
ultrasound receiver transducer. The bubble signals produced are proportional to the bubble diameter and
cause signal reductions that range from about 5%, for very small bubbles, to almost 100% for much larger
bubbles. Bubbles larger than about 20 microlitres in volume (approximately 3.4 mm diameter) block most of
the ultrasound from reaching the ultrasound receiver. Bubbles larger then 20 microlitres will produce an air
bubble detector alarm condition. Bubbles smaller then 4 microlitres will be ignored (no alarm will be
produced). Bubbles between 4 and 20 microlitres will have 0 to 100% respectively of probability to generate
an alarm condition. When no tubing is in place, or when the tubing is not filled with fluid, virtually no
ultrasound is received. After the UAD signal has been processed by the ultrasound receiver, it is sent to
several voltage comparators. Under normal bubble-free conditions the input signal level to the voltage
comparator circuits is nominally 2.5 Vdc. Whenever a bubble passes through the AD sensor, this normal
voltage drops below 2.5 Vdc. The resulting 5 Vdc logic signals are sent from the PIB board to the Protective
slave board.
4-24 Code SM_9033239200_04 Rev. /

4.5.2 Venous Line Clamp Sensor

A small switch in the venous line clamp senses whether the venous tubing has been placed in the
holder. The switch connects to the AVI Clamps board and is then sent to the Protective slave board. With
tubing inside the holder and the switch closed, the switch connects +5 Vdc to the Protective slave.
4.5.3 Arterial Line Clamp Sensor

A small switch in the arterial line clamp senses whether the arterial tubing has been placed in the holder.
The switch connects to the AVI Clamps Clamp board and is then sent to the Protective slave board. With
tubing inside the holder and the switch closed, the switch connects +5 Vdc to the Protective slave.
4.5.4 Infusion Clamp Sensor

A small switch in the infusion clamp senses whether the ultra connector has been placed in the holder.
The switch connects to the AVI Clamps board and is then sent to the Protective slave board. With tubing
inside the holder and the switch closed, the switch connects +5 Vdc to the Protective slave.
4.5.5 Venous Patient Line Presence Sensor

A small sensor inside the air detector housing senses whether the venous tubing has been placed
inside the air detector. The sensor is sent to the Protective slave board.
4.5.6 Arterial Patient Line Presence Sensor

A small sensor inside the Hemoscan housing senses whether the Hemoscan Couvette has been
placed inside the air detector.
4.5.7 Blood Leak Detector

The blood leak detector uses an LED to transmit an infrared signal through the dialysis fluid effluent
where it is detected by a photo diode. Blood leaking into the dialysis fluid effluent then causes a reduction
of the signal received by the photo diode and a blood leak alarm occurs. Before each patient treatment, the
ability to detect an alarm is verified by momentarily inserting a solenoid operated filter into the detector to
reduce the signal level and simulate a blood leak.The blood leak detector is also automatically calibrated
each time the machine is used. The service status screen can be used to view the output of the detector. A
normal value will be about 190. The blood leak detector is connected directly to the Protective slave board
where the analog signals are converted to digital.
4.5.8 pH Probe and pH Board (if available)

An optional pH probe is used to continuously monitor the dialysis fluid pH to prevent wrong of
concentrates are connected to the machine.The pH probe is fixed on the Main Hydraulic Compartment. It
also can be used to monitor the pH of disinfection chemicals that are used when this feature is selected
through a machine configuration setting.
The analog output of the pH probe connects to a circuit board located on the external surface of
connectivity panel of the machine where amplification and signal conditioning occur. The output of the pH
board is 5 volt pulses that connect to the Protective slave board.
4.5.9 Blood Sensor

The Blood Sensor is located inside the Sensor Bar Door - AD/BS housing and uses an infrared LED and
photo diode to sense whether blood or saline is in the venous blood line. When it senses blood the machine
activates the Protective Board in the full activity mode. When it senses saline, the machine allows the prime
process to be activated and a wider less restrictive alarm window for the arterial and venous pressures.
The Blood Path on the left side of the Flow Path Diagram takes different colours when the sensor detects
blood or saline solution:
• it becomes red when the sensor detects blood
• it becomes blue when the sensor detects saline solution.
Code SM_9033239200_04 Rev. / 4-25

4.5.10 Wet sensor assy

The wet Sensor is located under the Base Compartment of the machine. It allows the detection of water
leakage from the hydraulic circuit.
4.5.11 Ultrafilter holder sensors

The ultrafilter rear panel and ultrafilter holders are equipped with 8 sensors (4 per ultrafilter). They are
used to check the correct installation either of the ultrafilter or of the ultrafilter bypass device.
4.5.11.1 Ultrafilter A
• SWFS1A, SWFS2A: linked with SWOSSO-A signal allow to detect if the ultrafilter A is correctly
installed in the housing. With ultrafilter mounted, these reed switchs connect the +5 Vdc to the Pro-
tective slave board
• SWOSSO-A: allow to distinguish wether the ultrafilter A or the bypass ultrafilter are installed. With
ultrafilter mounted, this reed switch connects the +5 Vdc to the Protective slave board
• SWARMUF-A: allow to detect the position of the arm supporting the bottom part of the ultrafilter A.
This optical switch which is located on the buttom of the ultrafilter panel connects the +5 Vdc to the
Hydraulic slave board
4.5.11.2 Ultrafilter B
• SWFS1B, SWFS2B: linked with SWOSSO-B allow to detect if the ultrafilter B is correctly installed in
the housing. With ultrafilter mounted, these reed switchs connect the +5 Vdc to the Protective slave
board
• SWOSSO-B: allow to distinguish wether the ultrafilter A or the bypass ultrafilter are installed. With
ultrafilter mounted, this reed switch connects the +5 Vdc to the Protective slave board
• SWARMUF-B: allow to detect the position of the arm supporting the bottom part of the ultrafilter B.
Arm in the horizontal position, this optical switch which is located on the buttom of the ultrafilter panel
connects +5 Vdc to the Hydraulic slave board.
4.5.12 Ultrafilter Cover sensors

The ultrafilter rear panel is equipped with 2 small optical swithes located on its border. They are used to
check the correct installation of the cover so as to prevent any heat loss during heat disinfection program
and any damages due to water splash in case of tubing disconnection.
• SWUFCOV-L and SWUFCOV-R allow the detection of the cover of the ultrafilter housing. When cover
is in place, these optical swithes connect the + 5 Vdc to the Hydraulic slave board.
4.5.13 Remote Alarm

4.5.14 Red and Yellow lights

On the Artis Dialysis System there are two kinds of alarm lights: red and yellow. The red and yellow
lamps are mounted on each side of the Machine top panel and they are monitored by the same single light
sensor. Used to generate a visual advise when an alarm is generated.
The Potective Subsystem drives the alarm lights in order to advise the operator about a specific alarm
activation: in function of the alarm type received from the System Processing Software (Caution or
Warning), lights shall be driven with a period of 1 second and in a correspondent way as described below:
Caution: the Red light shall be on for 4/8 second and shall be off for 4/8 second;
Warning: the Yellow light shall be on for 1/8 second and shall be off for 7/8 second.
4-26 Code SM_9033239200_04 Rev. /

4.5.15 Buzzer and Speaker

Hardware devices, used to generate an audible advise when an alarm is generated. The Speaker is
controlled by the SPS (System Processing Software) and the Buzzer is controlled by the Protective
Subsystem. Only one of these two devices will be used.
At Power ON the Protective Subsystem performs two T1 test (T1 Test Buzzer and T1 Test Speaker) to
check the correct behaviour of the speaker and of the buzzer.
The speaker is the component normally used to generate audible advises, the buzzer is the component
that is used only in case of malfunction on the speaker.
The Protective Subsystem actuates a General Safe State when both the "Speaker T1 Test" and
"BuzzerT1 Test" fail.
4.5.16 D1p and D2p flowmeters

Two electromagnetic flowmeters used to ensure the protective function of the flow rate measurement;
connected to 2 EM interface board they send to the Protective slave 5 Vdc logic signal frequencies which
are porportional to the flow rate.
4.5.16.1 D1p Flowmeter

Flowmeter D1p monitors the fluid flow rate pre-dialyzer and sends flow pulses to the Protective slave
board. The FD1p 5 Vdc logic signal frequency is proportional to the flow rate. D1p and D2p signals are also
used during the calibration procedure (hydraulic phase n. 31) to control and monitor the equality of flow of
D1p and D2p. Flow rate difference between D1p and D2p is compensated by the calculation of a correction
K factor during the calibration phase which equals to the ratio of D1p and D2p signals.
4.5.16.2 D2p Flowmeter

Flowmeter D2p monitors the fluid flow rate post-dialyzer and sends flow pulses to the Protective slave
board. The FD2 5 Vdc logic signal frequency is proportional to the flow rate. D1p and D2p signals are used
by Protective System during a calibration procedure since accurate control of the UF rate is dependent on
the D2 flowmeter precisely measuring flow during a dialysis treatment (hydraulic phase n. 23). Flow rate
difference between D1p and D2p is compensated by the calculation of a correction K factor during the
calibration phase which equals to the ratio of D1p and D2p signals. During the dialysis treatment WLR
equals to D1p minus K*D2p.
4.5.17 Conductivity Cells (ΓpSe,Γp)

4.5.17.1 For the dialysis fluid preparation ( ΓSe, Γp)
Γp (for dialysis fluid fluid/acid) and ΓpSe (for SelectCart) signals are acquired by the Protective Slave
Board through the Prot IC2 board; they are used to monitor the dialysis fluid conductivity for the proper
proportioning rate and will trigger alarms if the conductivity is outside the desired value.
Temperature compensation is provided by TPA and TPSe located on the conductivity cell assemblies
and is applied at the conductivity cell board. The thermistors analog signals connect to the conductivity cell
board and the conductivity signals are connected to the Protective slave board via I2C.
NOTE
TPA sensor is also used in the control of the temperature of heated fluids (water or dialysis fluid),
please see section heater in the Hydraulic bord slave description.
The Hyd. I2C Board can identify the Conductivity Protective signal of the conductivity cells and, if the
duty cycle or the frequency of this signal is abnormal, it switches off the Protective signal; following that a
conductivity alarm triggers.

4.7 Arterial Pump Board and Venous Pump Board

The Arterial pump and Venous Pump Boards are located on the front blood compartment next to the
proper blood pump 24 vdc motor. Signals each board connect to the Blood and Protective slave boards
through the Mother board.The following signals are controlled by this board.
Motor speed command (input): TTL frequency modulated square wave.The frequency range is 0 - 20
kHz signal that corresponds to the range of no speed - full speed
Motor speed feedback (output): Signal from optical encoder mounted onto the blood pump motor shaft.
It gives 32 pulses per rotation of the motor shaft.
Motor direction command (input): TTL signal that is logical high for clockwise direction and logical low
for counter-clockwise direction.
Motor stop command (input): TTL signal, active low to stop the motor.
Motor supply enable digital (input): 24V digital signal, active high to energize the pump. This signal is
normally driven high. It is driven low (inactive) to allow manual operation by the external blood pump crank.
Break command (input): TTL signal, active high, signal switches in a circuit that short circuits the motor
winding to stop the motor quickly when the speed command is stopped.
Rotor position signal 1 (output) and Rotor position signal 2 (output): are Hall effect sensor that senses
the position and the direction of the pump rotor.
Cover position sensor (output): Hall effect sensor that senses the open or closed position of the pump
cover.
4.8 PIB Board

See Figure 4-7 for PIB board functions.The PIB board has analog and conditioning circuitry for the
arterial, pre-dialyzer and venous pressure transducers, UAD (ultrasonic air detector), Blood Sensor and
Blood Sensor trimpot located inside the UAD housing. Outputs from this board connect to the Blood slave
and Protective slave boards through a communications bus that connects between the three boards,
similar to the SPI bus that connects between the Main board and the slave boards.
4.9 Isolated Ethernet and Switch Board

The Isolated Ethernet and Switch Board is intended to implement an Isolation Barrier between the
external Ethernet LAN and the internal Ethernet Port.
The Isolated Ethernet and Switch Board share the internal Ethernet Port of the Main Board between the
Ethernet LAN (coming through the Isolation Barrier) and the WI-FI module (that has an Ethernet Bridge).
On the Isolated Ethernet and Switch Board shall be present a Digital Input intended to switch the
Ethernet Port of the Main Unit between the LAN and the WI-FI.
The Isolated Ethernet and Switch Board shall have the following configuration:
• two Ethernet Source Port: External LAN Port and Wireless Module Port,(the External LAN Port shall
be connected to the board through an Isolation Barrier)
• one Ethernet Destination Port: MAIN UNIT Port
• one Digital Input intended to select which Input Port has to be connected to the Output Port: Ethernet
Selection Input.
The Ethernet Switch Board shall be capable to connect one of the two Ethernet Source Port to the
Ethernet Destination Port.

4.10 Hour Meter Board

The main purpose of the Hour Meter Board is to manage the machine's Electromechanical Hour
Counter and the Low Power mode.
The main functions of this board are summarized as follows:
• It is powered by the 5VD and uses the V_BATTERY when the 5VD is not present, in order to work
even if the power supply unit is in Stand-By Mode.
• Counts the Working Time of the machine and controls the electromechanical counter that shows the
Working Time.
• Counts the Low Power Mode Time of the machine (available only for the Main Board of the machine).
• Provides an internal Software Event Timer: it is preloaded by the Main Board through the Hydraulic
System’s I2C bus. After preloading it is decremented, also in the Low Power mode. When the Event
Timer underflows the Hour Meter generates the STAND_BY_ON_OFF signal to exit the power supply
unit from Stand-By mode.
• The board generates the +5VSB from the V_BATTERY to power up the Ethernet Switch Board.
• Controls an ON Board Buzzer.
• Generates the following safe signals:
- STAND_BY_ON_OFF signal to put/resume the power supply unit to/from the Stand-By Mode;
- MAIN_SWITCH_OFF signal to turn the Main Switch OFF.
• Reads the On/Off Key (on the keyboard), in order to exit from the Low Power Mode when this Key is
pressed.
• Drives the STB1 and the STB2 LEDs (on the keyboard) with different modality.
• Acquires some of the Battery’s parameters in order to check the Battery status and evaluate the resid-
ual Battery Time (not currently available).
• Generates a BATTERY_CHARGER_ON Signal in order to recharge the Battery when in Low Power
Mode.
If the “6987721 HOUR METER BOARD AE” Rev. B3 is installed, the following note is available:
NOTE
The scheduled Disinfection/Rinse program starts only if its start is provided within 48 hours since
the machine enters the Low Power mode.
• Provides an I2C Bus Interface (Slave Mode).
• Allows the micro controller firmware (FW) to be updated through the I2C Bus.

6.1 Architecture overview
6.2 T1 Test
The T1 test is designed to verify that the machine is operating correctly and that it can monitor the
specific functions. The T1 tests are checks performed on sensors, before the connection of the patient, in
order to verify their functionality.
Through the T1 tests the Protective and the Hydraulic Systems check the correct functionality of safety
relevant sensors before the patient connection to prevent later alarms generation and it check the devices
that during the treatment, in failure condition, can damage the patient without visible side effects.
The most of the T1 tests are performed each time the ARTIS Dialysis System is switched ON, before the
patient connection phase.
If the machine is properly configured, the “Temperature” and “Conductivity Cell sensors” T1 tests can be
performed before the first treatment of the day and skipped for the following three treatments in the same
day, thus reducing the dialysis fluid preparation time. The skipped T1 tests do not affect in any way the
safety of the Artis Dialysis System. However, a complete sequence of all the T1 tests will be always
performed:
• At least once a day;
• After the “Temperature” and “Conductivity Cell sensors” T1 tests have been skipped for three
consecutive Patient Connections;
• If a “Wrong Date/Time or wrong Date of Installation of U9000 ultrafilters” (#630)” alarm is trig-
gered.
• Each time the Service Menu is accessed.
The “Conductivity Cell sensors” T1 test will be always performed if the type of concentrate used is
different from the one used for the previous treatment. In particular, the check is performed if, for example,
the current treatment uses a BiCart/BiCart Select concentrate while the previous treatment used AFB/AFB
K concentrates or viceversa.
When the T1 tests are in progress, the “Function Check in progress...” operator message is displayed.
The T1 tests are interrupted and restarted when:
• an alarm is triggered by the machine;
• the operator loads/unloads a Blood Tubing System;
• a special procedure is performed.
To avoid interrupting the T1 tests execution, do not operate the machine when the “Function Check in
progress...” operator message is displayed.
For the major part of these devices the correct test result is mandatory to go on with the treatment. The
Protective System also checks devices that have a very low failure probability during a treatment and that,
in case of failure, aren't dangerous for the health of the patient and that allow in any case the end of the
treatment (for example a failure on the alarm lights).
Code SM_9033239200_06 Rev. / 6-1

There are three separate failure results that the operator will see if a portion of the T1 test
fails:
1. Warning: the operator is noticed that a test is failed; if there is a "CONFIRM" prompt the operator can
reset the alarm by pushing that button on the Screen. Otherwise he can reset the alarm through some
actions performed on the machine.
2. Repeat: the operator is noticed that a test is failed; there is "CONFIRM" prompt and the operator can
reset the alarm and he can automatically repeat the test by pushing that button on the Screen.
3. STOP: the Protective System generates the General Safe State or an alarm that doesn't allow proceed-
ing with the treatment.
The T1 Test messages are displayed in the Service Data page 2 and contain the following information.
• the advancement state and the mode of each T1 Test;
• additional information for the SPS (System Processing Software, optional, depending on the
kind of test)
Additional Info (4 bits) MODE (4 bits) STATE (8 bits)
• a reference to sensors or other hardware components that have to be driven (optional, depend-
ing on the kind of test);
• the setpoint that has to be reached for that hardware component (optional, depending on the
kind of test);
The mode describes what the T1 test is doing and provides significant information of what is happening.
T1 Test to be started (0)
T1 Test in progress (function checks) (1)
T1 Test terminated with positive result (2)
T1 Test terminated with negative result (test failed) (3)
Every T1 test is structured as a state machine: every state is related to a progressive number, starting
from 0. The advancement of the state numbers means that the T1 test is in progress.
In case of positive result of the test the last state is set to FEhex in order to easily recognize the end of
the test.
If the test fails the last state of the T1 test corresponds to the last state of the T1 test that was executed
with a positive result. If this information is not available the state is set to FFhex that is the default value for
the T1 test failure.
The figure 6-1, lists the tests as they are displayed on the status pages of the machine. When reviewing
the status pages, page 2 displays the T1 test progression and result information.

During these tests the Protective System tests the following sensors:
• the sensors that, in case of malfunction, impose a disconnection of the patient from the
machine with a consequent loss of blood of the patient (for example the incorrect behaviour of
the pressures);
• the sensors that can be tested before patient connection, because the test conditions cannot
be replicated in a second moment (for example the “Venous Line Clamp Test”);
• the sensors that have a very low failure probability during a treatment and that, in case of fail-
ure, don’t be dangerous for the health of the patient and that allow in any case the end of the
treatment (for example a failure on the alarm lights).
The T1 Tests can be divided into two groups:

• T1 tests that are independent from each other and are performed at the boot up.
• T1 tests that can be executed only in a particular moment that depends on the status of the
Artis Dialysis System and the particular phase of the dialysis process that has been reached.
The independent T1 tests are the following:
1. CPU Test;
2. EEPROM Test;
3. RAM Test;
4. FPGA Test;
5. Battery Test;
6. Acoustical (buzzer) Test;
7. Visible Test;
8. Cut 24 volt Test;
9. Venous Line Clamp Test;
10.Water Presence T1 Test.
The T1 Test that respects a defined sequence are the following:
11. Venous Pressure Sensor Test;

12.Arterial Pressure Sensor Test;
13.SN Pressure Sensor Test;
14.Valves Command Test;
15.PIPO Pressure Sensors Test;
16.Temperature Test;

23.Acoustical (speaker) Test;
24.Infusion Switch Sensor test;

25.Infusion Clamp T1 Test.
NOTE
It is important that all T1 tests have been completed successfully before the connection of the
patient. Otherwise an error condition will be generated by the Protective System (General Safe
State, Malfunction 64).

! WARNING 1
If both the Acustical Buzzer T1 Test and the Acustical Speaker T1 Test fail (both the auditory
signal sources are malfunctioning), a malfunction occurs so that it is not possible to use the Artis
Dialysis System. In this case, call for Service Technician.
If only one of the T1 Tests fails (only one of the auditory signal source is malfunctioning), it is the
operator’s responsibility to decide whether to proceed with the current treatment after having
checked that the machine is able to sound proprerly. Also in this case, call for Service Technician
to troubleshoot the problem as soon as possible.
! WARNING 2
During the Visible T1 Test, check that a brief visual signal is triggered by the machine (Status
Lights at the top of the machine lighten with red and yellow lights).
If the visual signal is not triggered, the signalling device (Status Lights) is malfunctioning. In this
case, call for Service Technician.
6.2.1 Protective T1 Test Description

6.2.1.1 Test Number 1: The CPU Test
The CPU portion of the T1 test, verifies that the Protective System CPU is operating correctly. The test
verifies that data can be written in the registers in the microprocessor.
If the test fails, the T1 Test is terminated with negative result and the machine stops all its further actions
execution.
6.2.1.2 Test Number 2: The EEPROM Test

The purpose of this test is to verify that the EEPROM data is correct and to verify that the Protective
System is able to calculate the CRC. The Protective System calculates the internal CRC of the protective
EEPROM. It then compares the new calculation with the CRC that was stored on the EEPROM during the
original data storage.
If the two numbers are not equal, the T1 Test fails and the machine stops all its further actions
execution.
6.2.1.3 Test Number 3: The RAM Test

The Protective System tests its ability to address data to the protective RAM. It will also verify that data
can be read from the RAM.
execution.
6.2.1.4 Test Number 4: The Battery Test

The Protective System tests the Batteries in order to check that they are charged. The test is performed
at power up.
If one or both batteries are defective, or cannot hold a charge, or there are problems in the battery
wiring, the test fails and the machine generates a warning message issued with a required confirmation
from the operator to continue. Generates the alarm‘’ (183) Backup Battery Failure’’.
6.2.1.5 Test Number 5: The Acoustical Alarm (buzzer) Test

The purpose of this test is to verify that the Acoustic Alarm (buzzer) works correctly.
6-8 Code SM_9033239200_06 Rev. /

At the begining of the test the Protective System activates the Buzzer and reads the buzzer level. After
2 seconds deactivates the Buzzer and reads the buzzer level.
The Protective System compares the two acquired buzzer levels to verify the correctly buzzer
activation/deactivation and sends data in order to confirm that the buzzer is correctly working.
If the test fails, the machine will generate a Warning alarm issued with a required confirmation from the
operator to continue.
6.2.1.6 Test Number 6: The Acoustical Alarm (speaker) Test

The purpose of this test is to verify that the Acoustic Alarm (speaker) works correctly. The speaker level
has to be listened through a microphone.
At the begining of the test the Protective System activates the Speaker and after 4 seconds reads the
microphone level.
After that it deactivates the Speaker and it reads the microphone level after 10 seconds.
The Protective System compares the two acquired speaker levels in order to verify the correctly speaker
activation/deactivation and sends data in order to confirm that the speaker is correctly working.
If the test fails, the T1 Test is terminated with negative result and the machine will generate an alarm
issued with a required confirmation from the operator to continue: “(451) T1 Test Acoustic Speaker’’.
6.2.1.7 Test Number 7: Visible Alarm Test

During the Visible T1 Test, the operator should check that a brief visual signal is triggered by the
machine (Status Lights at the top of the machine lighten with red and yellow lights).
If the visual signal is not triggered, the signalling device (Status Lights) is malfunctioning. In this case,
call for Service Technician.
There are no automatic machine actions that take place with this test.
6.2.1.8 Test Number 8: The 24 Volt Test

This test verifies the ability of the Protective System to turn off the 24 Vp in the power supply that feeds
24 volts to all of the pumps and valves. This action is necessary as if there are certain machine faults, the
Protective System must be able to generate a GENERAL SAFE STATE.
At the begining of the test the Protective System opens the venous clamp. Then Protective System
checks, through the venous clamp position sensor, that the clamp position is open. Then Protective System
switch off the 24 Volts power supply and it checks that the clamp position is closed and that the 24 Vp is
lower than 6 Volts. Then the Protective System switches on the 24 Volts power supply and checks that the
clamp position is open and that the 24 Vp is greater than 22 Volts.
If the test fails, the machine will generate a GENERAL SAFE STATE: ‘’Safe State Activated. Cause:
24 Volt self-test failure ’’.
6.2.1.9 Test Number 9: The Venous Line Clamp Test

During the venous line clamp test, the Protective System activates the venous clamp to both open and
close the clamp. This test is used to verify that the Protective System checks its capability to close the
Venous Line Clamp.
At the begining of the test, the Protective System opens the Venous Line Clamp and checks through the
venous line clamp position sensor that the clamp position is open. The Protective System closes the
Venous Line Clamp and checks through the sensor that the clamp position is closed. The Test completes
when the Protective System opens the Venous Line Clamp and verifies if the clamp correctly opens again.
If the test fails, the T1 Test is terminated with negative result and the machine will generate a GENERAL
SAFE STATE : ‘’Safe State Activated. Cause: Venous Clamp self-test failure ’’.
6.2.1.10 Test Number 10: The Valves Command Test

The valve command test is used to verify that the Protective System can detect the valve actuation
commands.
Code SM_9033239200_06 Rev. / 6-9

The Protective System commands to the Control System to turn on all the safety valves. The Protective
System must be able to detect all of the actuation signals. After this complete, the Protective System
commands to the Control System to turn off all the safety valves. Again the Protective System must check
that the valve command signals are turned off. The following valve command signals are detected: EV2,
EVBP2, EVDS2, EVDS1.
If any of the signals are not detected correctly, the T1 Test is terminated with negative result and the
machine will generate a GENERAL SAFE STATE: ‘’Safe State Activated. Cause:Valve self-test failure’’.
6.2.1.11 Test Number 11: PIPO Pressure SensorsTest

This test is performed during every dialysate preparation, and is used to verify the correct functioning of
the PI and PO pressure sensors in order to be used to detect failures on EVDS1/EVDS2 valve.
At the begining of the test, during PRE_CHECK phase (no.1) when all the electrovalves monitored by
the Protective System are open, NO FLOW is present and PI and PO sensors value is corresponding to
the ambient pressure 0 mmHg. The Protective System verifies that the acquired PO pressure value is < 50
mmHg and that absolute value |PI - PO| < 32 mmHg. If the 2 conditions above are passed the test close
with positive results and continues.
If one of the two checks fails the process continues but a new phases T1T_PIPO_LOW (no.7) will be
reserved for a further check of the sensors .
At the end of the FILL_UP_2 phase (no.3), if the LFD test passes with positive results the machine goes
to the T1T_PIPO_HIGH phase (no.6) and EVDS1 and EVDS2 electrovalves are closed, a flow arround of
500 ml/min is set and PO sensors set point is set to 300 mmHg.
The Protective System verifies that the acquired PO pressure value is > 250 mmHg and that absolute
value |PI - PO| < 32 mmHg.
If the 2 conditions above are passed before a timeout of 25 s are elapsed, the machine complete the
test if no phase (no.7) was reserved or goes to the reserved phase (no.7) for a last check where the PI and
PO sensors, with a PO set point set to 0 mmHg.
The Protective System verifies that the acquired PO pressure value is < 50 mmHg and that absolute
value |PI - PO| < 32 mmHg. If the two conditions are checked within a timeout of 25 s the check is passed
and the test closes with possitive results.
If the test fails, the machine will generate: (MALFUNCTION 672) ‘’Hydraulic Pressure Alignment
Failure’’.
6.2.1.12 Test Number 12: Temperature Test

The Protective System verifies if the temperature sensors ΤCA and Τp are able to measure temperature
values higher than 42 °C and lower than 38 °C, in order to ensure that a wrong temperature of the dialysis
fluid is recognized in case of fEVDailure.
First the Protective System sends a command to the Control System in order to warm up the dialysis
fluid. The Protective System verifies, at the same time, that the temperature measured by ΤCA sensor and
Τp sensor is greater than 42 °C for more than 2 seconds within 8 minutes from the start of the test.
In the second step of the test, the Protective System sends a command to the control system in order to
decrease the dialysis fluid temperature. The Protective System verifies, at the same time, that the
temperature measured by ΤCA sensor and Τp sensor is lower than 38 °C for more than 2 seconds within 15
minutes from the start of the second check.
If either of these tests fail, the machine will generate a Warning alarm issued with a required
confirmation from the operator to continue. Generates the alarm ‘’(444) T1 Test Temperature Failed’’.
6-10 Code SM_9033239200_06 Rev. /

6.2.1.13 Test Number 13: Conductivity Cell sensors (A, B, Sel, P) Test
This test is used to verify the correct functionality of the A, B, Sel, P conductivity cells and the pumps in
the mixing module.
During this test, the Protective System Performs also an alignment on the ΓPSel and ΓP conductivity
cells from mesurements based on the same dialysis liquid.
During the first portion of the test, the Protective System commands the control system to have the
Bicarbonate set point to 2 mS/cm and the Final Conductivity (acetate) set point to 12 mS/cm. The main flow
of 500 ml/min.
The Protective System waits until the following conditions are verified for 5 seconds consecutively:
• ΓCB= 2 mS/cm ± 0.14 mS/cm
• ΓPSel= 2 mS/cm ± 0.16 mS/cm
• ΓCA= 12 mS/cm ± 0.36 mS/cm
• ΓP= 12 mS/cm ± 0.48 mS/cm
Then the Protective System calculates the average measured by Γ CB, ΓPSel, ΓCA and ΓP in 15 seconds
and checks that the mean values of :
• ΓCB and ΓPSel and are not different for more than ± 0.10 mS/cm;
• Γ CA adn ΓP are not different for more than ± 0.24 mS/cm;
At the next step the Protective System notifies to the SPS that the first step of the Conductivity Cells T1 test
has been correctly performed.
Then the Protective System waits from SPS a notification that Conductivity Cells T1 test can proceed (action
done in order to take in account DIASCAN autocalibration process).
During the second portion of the test, the Protective System commands the control system to have the
Bicarbonate set point to 5 mS/cm and the Final Conductivity set point to 17 mS/cm. The main flow of 500 ml/
min.
The Protective System waits until the following conditions are verified for 5 second consecutively:
• ΓCB= 5 mS/cm ± 0.15 mS/cm
• ΓPSel= 5 mS/cm ± 0.20 mS/cm
• ΓCA= 17 mS/cm ± 0.51 mS/cm
• ΓP= 17 mS/cm ± 0.68 mS/cm
Then the Protective System calculates the average measured by Γ CB, ΓPSel, ΓCA and ΓP in 15 seconds
and checks that the mean values of :
• the values ΓCB and ΓPSel are not different for more than ± 0.10 mS/cm;
• the values ΓCA and ΓP are not different for more than ± 0.34 mS/cm;
Then the Protective System sends to the SPS (System Processing Software) the notification that all the

Then (if in Select mode) the Protective System stops to require to Control System to have Γ CB and
ΓCA values different from the conductivity values set by the user and it waits until it receives the FLUID
TESTABLE equal to FALSE;
Then the Protective System checks that all following conditions are verified for 20 seconds
consecutively (steady state condition):
• FLUID TESTABLE is equal to TRUE;
• the conductivity measured by ΓCB is equal to bicarbonate conductivity value calculated through
the stoichiometric FORMULA, basing on the ions prescription selected by the user with a range
of 0.5 mS/cm;

0.5 mS/cm;
• the conductivity measured by ΓP is equal to final conductivity value calculated through the sto-
ichiometric FORMULA, basing on the ions prescription selected by the user with a range of 0.5

6.2.1.14 Test Number 14: Blood Leak Detector (BLD) Test

The blood leak detector test uses an optical filter that is in the blood leak detector assembly to cause a
blood leak condition, in order to check its functionality through a specific measurement taken from a
dedicated optical sensor.
At the begining of the test the Protective System checks the absence of the blood on the BLD and then
the Protective System activates the magnet to insert the optical filter in between the blood leak detector and
the infrared detector. The Protective System then looks for a reduction in the signal indicating that the blood
leak detector and the protective system are working properly. The Protective System deactivates the
magnet to remove the optical filter from the BLD.
At the end checks the absence of the blood from the BLD.
If the test fails, the machine will generate: (MALFUNCTION 434) ‘’T1 Test BLD’’.

6.2.2 Hydraulic T1 Test

6.2.2.1 Bubble Trap T1 Test
The Bubble trap T1 test is performed to control the correct functionality of the optical level sensors LP, LD1
and LD2 that are inside the bubble traps BTP, BT1 and BT2 for correct reading of AIR and WATER levels.
At the power on, the hydraulic circuit of the machine should be empty and in this moment the test can be
performed.
When the test starts, the machine checks the status of all optical level sensors and according to the
result of this check there are two execution methods:
1st case: if the air is detected in all the bubble traps, the machine continues with the hydraulic circuit fill
up. When the procedure of fill up is performed, all the optical level sensors have to detect water.
2nd case: if the air was not detected on at least one bubble trap, the machine performs the emptying of
the Degassing subunit, EVD2 line and the main flow circuit, in order to have all three optical level sensors
detecting air. Then the machine proceeds with the hydraulic fill up. When the procedure of fill up is
performed, all the optical levels have to detect water.
If the test fails, the machine generates an alarm message: Malfunction “(493) Bubble Trap T1 Test” and
the user must switch off the machine.
6.2.2.2 EVDS1, EVDS2 T1 Test

This test verifies during the preparation process, the correct functionality of the EVDS1 and EVDS2
electro valves when commanded.
At the beginning of the preparation, during the FILL_UP1 phase, the machine verifies that the optical
flow switch LFD detects the presence of NO flow:
• If the LFD switch sees continuously flow for 3 seconds, at the end of the phase the machine
generates an alarm message: Malfunction "(668) EVDS1 EVDS2 T1 test failed" and the user must switch
off the machine.
• If the LFD switch does not detect flow, the machine continues with the next step of the test.
At the next step of the test, during the FILL_UP2 phase, the machine verifies that the optical flow switch
LFD detects the presence of flow and that EVDS1 and EVDS2 valves are correctly open:
• If the LFD switch does not detect continuously flow for at least 3 seconds until the end of the
phase, the machine extend the phase duration from 20 to 60 seconds. If at the end of the 60 seconds the
machine does not detects continuously flow for at least 3 seconds, the machine generates an alarm
message: Malfunction "(668) EVDS1 EVDS2 T1 test failed" and the user must switch off the machine.
• If the LFD switch sees continuously flow for at least 3 seconds until the end of the phase
(maximum 60 seconds) the test ends with positive result.
If the test fails, the T1 Test is terminated with negative result and the machine generates an alarm
message: Malfunction "(668) EVDS1 EVDS2 T1 test failed" and the user must switch off the machine.
6.2.2.3 Leakage T1 test

The Leakage T1 Test is performed in order to assure that the hydraulic circuit has no fluid leakages, and
that the electro valves work correctly when commanded.
The measurements are performed over all pressure sensors available (PDG, PFS, PI, PO, PD, PV and
PFP). Set of sub phases are executed with the goal to pressurize the hydraulic circuit. The analysis of
those pressure, gives feedback about presence of hydraulic leakages.
The test is executed during preparation and it is divided in 13 sub-phases.
The portions of hydraulic circuit involved by positive pressure are highlighted in blue, while the portions
in negative pressure are highlighted in green.

7.1 Calibration Introduction
! WARNING
If during a Calibration procedure the “MALFUNCTION 320” alarm occurs this could result into
missed saving of Calibration data. Switch the machine OFF and then ON again and repeat the
Calibration procedure. If the Calibration procedure is not repeated, this could lead to a potential
injury to the patient.
Most of the calibrations for the electrical and hydraulic components in the Artis Dialysis System are
software calibrations. The software calibrations monitor signals from the various components and transform
them through software algorithms to achieve the desired output or input signals. During the calibration
procedure, these algorithms calculate the coefficients that are used to adjust or calibrate the signals for the
components in the machine. These calibration coefficients are then stored in EEPROMs or flash chips on
the slave boards and in the Main Compact Flash on the Main board.
Required Tools and Test Equipment:

• Conductivity/ Temperature/ Pressure Meter • ART. and VEN. Pressure Calibration Tool
• Hydraulic pressure sensor, R1, R2 and PRV tool • Pre-dialyzer Pressure Calibration Tool
• Bypass Shunt • 15 cm (6”) Length of Venous Blood Line
• 1000 ml Graduated Cylinder • Digital multimeter

8.11.3 Periodic Electrical Safety Inspection

8.11.3.1 General
To ensure Electrical safety condition, a qualified service technician shall perform an Electrical Safety
Inspection (ESI) of the Artis dialysis system on regular basis:
• before putting into service (Installation)
• at regular intervals (Preventive Maintenance)
• after replacements of components (spare parts) and after installation of upgrading kit/accessories
where applicable (in order to identify which tests apply refer to the related Instruction for Use or to the
Illustrated spare part catalogue)
Additionally if the equipment has been exposed to unexpected electrical events on the main supply or
unintentional contact of electrical parts with fluid has occurred, a full Electrical Safety Inspection shall be
performed.
The information needed to perform ESI is provided in this paragraph.

The following steps are included in the ESI of the Artis dialysis system and shall be executed in the
specified order:
• Visual inspection
• PET - Protective earth test
• ELT - Earth leakage current test
• PLT - Patient leakage current test
• Functional check of the machine operation
If any of the steps fails, a technical intervention is needed in order to restore the safety condition of the
machine. After the technical intervention, the steps shall be repeated until the result of evaluation is
positive. If the technical intervention could impact any of the other ESI steps, these steps shall be
repeated.
To avoid premature aging of isolation material no insulation resistance test shall be performed during
ESI.
During the visual inspection of the equipment, the service technician shall check for potential faults
related to the electrical safety of the machine.
The purpose of the PET test is to verify that the protective earthed parts of the machine are properly
connected to protective earth, providing a safe low electrical potential on these parts in case of
insulation loss.
The purpose of the ELT/PLT tests is to verify that non-functional leakage currents to operator and
patient are within safe limits.
The purpose of the functional checks is to verify normal machine operation after the technical
intervention.
! WARNING
When performing the ESI, which requires access to the interior of the machine, the service
technician shall have proper electrostatic safety devices (i.e. wrist grounding straps or grounding
mats) in place to prevent damage to electrostatic sensitive components within the machine.
The results of the ESI steps shall be documented as per IEC 62353.
At the end of this section is present an example of record.
Code SM_9033239200_08 Rev. / 8-27

NOTE
Considering the dialysis system electrical architecture, the test methods of IEC 60601-11 for
leakage currents measurements are compliant and suitable also for the coverage of IEC 623532
requirements.
In particular:
earth leakage current and patient leakage current measurement methods as per IEC 60601-1 are
suitable for coverage of IEC 62353 equipment leakage current;
applied part leakage current measurement method as per IEC 62353 is not applicable due to the
electrical architecture of the dialysis system.
8.11.3.2 Visual inspection

The visual inspection is a procedure to make sure that the medical equipment in use still confirms the
specifications and has not suffered from any external damage and/or contamination.
The visual inspection includes following steps:
1. Exterior parts including covers removable without the use of a tool: check for major damages,
cracks etc.
2. Cabling: check for cuts, wrong connections etc.
3. Power cord: check for sign of mechanical wear or discolouration.
4. Markings and labelling: check the presence and the integrity.
5. Integrity of mechanical parts: e.g. check for any visible obstructions.
6. Contamination: check for residual of organic fluids (e.g. blood), chemical agents.
7. Check that the required documentation reflects the dialysis machine configuration (e.g. Operator’s
Manual) .
NOTE
In case of replacement or installation of a component, only steps potentially concerned by the
replacement or installation shall be performed. Refer to the technical document provided with

ELT - Earth Leakage Current Test

1. No Potential Equalization cable shall be connected during test.
2. Run a simulated treatment.
3. Measure the earth leakage current with the safety tester. Follow the safety tester users manual.
4. Measure both in N.C. (Normal Condition) and S.F.C. (Single Fault Condition - interruption of neutral).
5. Take the highest reading when the machine is running.
6. Invert the phases of the mains voltage. Wait for the restoration of the simulated treatment.
7. Measure both in N.C. (Normal Condition) and S.F.C. (Single Fault Condition – interruption of neutral
conductor).
8. Take the highest reading when the machine is running.
9. Check that the highest measured readings do not exceed the limit values in the table “Limit values for
earth leakage current (ELT)”.

5. IEC 60601-1 limits are 500µA in N.C and 1000µA in SFC (300µA both in NC and SFC for 100/115 V according
to US National deviation).
The limits were reduced with respect to the values reported by the standard in order to allow detection of
deviations to the reference values (due to a process of deterioration) and to avoid the need of normalization
to mains nominal voltages.
The limits related to 100/115 V were not lowered since on the latest version of the standard there are no more
US National deviations related to earth leakage current limits.

6. IEC 60601-1 limits are 100µAa.c. and 10µAd.c. in N.C. and 500µAa.c. and 50µAd.c. in SFC.
The limits were reduced with respect to the values reported by the standard in order to allow detection of
deviations to the reference values (due to a process of deterioration) and to avoid the need of normalization to
mains nominal voltages.
The limits related to NC in d.c. were not lowered since the variation is negligible with regard to the typical
instruments accuracy.
7. IEC 60601-2-16* limits for CVC are 10µAa.c and 10µAd.c. and 50µAa.c. and 50µAd.c. in SFC. The limits were
reduced with respect to the values reported by the standard in order to allow detection of deviations to the
reference values (due to a process of deterioration) and to avoid the need of normalization to mains nominal

9.6 Alarms and Signals

9.6.1 Alarm Management System
The Artis Dialysis System is provided with an Alarm Management System that allows the machine to
recognize and control various types of malfunctions and faults and to determine that a potential or actual
hazard exists.
Three types of indicators are available to point out an alarm condition to the operator:
• Auditory alarm signal issued by an internal acustic speaker;
• Visual alarm signal issued by the Status Lights at the top of the machine;
• Alarm Message displayed in the Alarm/Information Message Area.
Each alarm is referenced by a technical number and an alarm message.

For further details on the Alarm/Information Message Area, refer to the “Alarm/Information Messages Area”
section of the “Chapter 1. General Description” of the Operator’s Manual.
NOTE
If more than one alarm occurs at the same time, they are automatically prioritized by the system.
The machine will restart the interrupted action only after all the alarms have been solved.
Alarm Signals are triggered as soon as the alarm condition is detected by the Alarm Management
System.
! WARNING
If in your dialysis facility equipments with different alarm systems are installed, pay attention to the
potential hazards associated to a not correct evaluation of the alarms generated by the different
equipments.

Artis alarms are categorized based on their priority, which indicates the importance of an alarm and the
urgency to address it.
In particular, the priority of each alarm has been assigned taking into account both the severity of the
potential consequences of operator’s failure to respond to the cause of the alarm and how fast these
consequences may start to happen.
There are three alarm messages priorities: High, Medium and Low.
Each alarm priority is represented by a set of specific properties which are:
HIGH PRIORITY
• Recurring high sound, 10 sound pulses repeated every 7 seconds;
• Red flashing light;
• Alarm message displayed with white text on red background.
Code SM_9033239200_09 Rev. / 9-47

MEDIUM PRIORITY
• Recurring medium sound, 3 sound pulses repeated every 7 seconds;
• Yellow flashing light;
• Alarm message displayed with black text on yellow background.
LOW PRIORITY
• Recurring low sound, 2 sound pulses repeated every 17 seconds;
• Yellow constant light;
• Alarm message displayed with black text on yellow background.
Alarm Messages in the Alarm/Information Message Area

Below some examples of different priority alarm messages, as they are displayed in the Alarm/
Information Message Area.
High Priority Alarm Message
Medium and Low Priority Alarm Messages
In case that more alarms with different priorities are triggered at the same time, they are displayed in
two different tabs according to their priority:
• Red tab: displays alarms with high priority
• Yellow tab: displays alarms with medium and low priority. The alarms with medium priority are
displayed above the alarms with low priority
NOTE
In each tab, no more than three alarms at a time can be displayed. The Scroll Buttons can be
used to scroll the alarm list.
In this case, the Alarm Management System will automatically trigger the Auditory and Visual Alarm
signals and will show the Alarm Message tab related to the alarm(s) with higher priority.
The operator will be anyway able to:
• visualize all the alarms with the same priority using the scroll buttons;
9-48 Code SM_9033239200_09 Rev. /

• visualize all the alarms with different priorities using the two colour-coded tabs at the bottom of the
Alarm/Information Message Area.
Each time the Alarm/Information Message Area is displayed, if one of the tabs is empty it is grey-
coloured. Otherwise, if the tab contains at least one alarm/information message it is highlighted, according
to the specific colour related to the priority level.
For further details on the Alarm/Information Message Area refer to the “Alarm/Information Messages
Area” section of the Operator’s Manual.
9.6.2.2 Auditory Alarm Signal characteristics

The Auditory Alarm Signals have the characteristics listed in the table below:
Characteristics High Medium Low
Number of Pulses per Burst 10 3 2

Interburst Interval approx. 4 s approx. 6 s approx. 16 s
Volume approx.70 dB(A) approx.68 dB(A) approx.66 dB(A)
NOTE

9.6.2.3 Intelligent Alarm System

The Artis Alarm Management System is able to recognize if two or more alarm conditions are triggered
related to the same cause.
In this case, the Alarm Management System distinguishes the alarms as follows:
• The Main Alarm
• The alarm(s) resulting from the Main Alarm
When alarms of this type occur the Alarm Management System only displays the Main Alarm(s) in the
Alarm/Information Message Area.
Code SM_9033239200_09 Rev. / 9-49

9.6.3 Information Signals

Information Signals are triggered to give the operator advices or notices on some machine events.
Information Signals are divided into Notifications and Smartscan Messages; they are both displayed on
the Alarm/Information Messages Area together with a recurring notice sound.
• NOTIFICATIONS are usually related to customizable reminder events or machine events requiring
the operator’s attention in order to move forward in the treatment workflow;
• SMARTSCAN MESSAGES are triggered by Smartscan criteria enabled on the machine.
Information Signals are referenced by:

• A Message displayed in the Alarm/Information Message Area;
• An Auditory signal issued by an internal acustic speaker.
9.6.3.1 Information Signals in the Alarm/Information Message Area

Information Signals are blue colour-coded.
Below some examples of Information Signals, as they are displayed in the Alarm/Information Message
Area:
Notification
Smartscan Message
In case that Alarms and Information Signals are triggered at the same time, the Alarm Management
System will automatically trigger the Auditory and Visual Alarm signals and will show the Alarm Message
tab related to the alarm(s) with higher priority.
In this case, the operator will be anyway able to:
• visualize all the alarms with the same priority using the scroll buttons;
• visualize all the alarms with different priorities using the two colour-coded tabs at the bottom of the
Alarm/Information Message Area;
• visualize all the Information Signals using the blue colour-coded tab at the bottom of the Alarm/Infor-
mation Message Area.
If alarms are not present, the tabs are grey-coloured. Otherwise, they are highlighted, according to the
specific colour related to the priority level.
For further details on the Alarm/Information Message Area refer to the “Alarm/Information Messages
Area” section of the Operator’s Manual.
Code SM_9033239200_09 Rev. / 9-53

9.6.3.2 Auditory Information Signals characteristics

The Information Signals are notified by specific melodies, different from the Auditory Alarm Signals, with
the following Volumes:
The Auditory Information Signals volume is configurable; two volume levels can be configured, the high
level volume is the default one:
Characteristic Notifications Smartscan Messages
Low Volume approx. 54 dB(A) approx. 55 dB(A)

High Volume approx. 70 dB(A) approx. 70 dB(A)
Configuration of the Auditory Information Signals volume has to be performed by a qualified Service
technician.
Each Auditory Information Signal is composed by a single tune issued every 90 seconds.
NOTE
The Volume measures have been performed in compliance with the IEC 60601-1-8 standard.
9.6.4 Levels of operator intervention

When an alarm condition occurs or an Information Signal is triggered, the operator may be able to
manually deal with the problem.
The specific actions to take are described for each individual alarm. Five types of intervention are
possible:
• MUTE
• CONFIRM
• OVERRIDE
• RESET
• ACKNOWLEDGED
9.6.4.1 Mute
It is possible to temporarily (for about 2 minutes) deactivate the Auditory Alarm Signal, by pressing the
MUTE key on the Hard Key Panel.
The temporary deactivation of the Auditory Alarm Signal is possible only for alarm condition present at
the moment of the operator action.
• It is important to consider that during the MUTE status:
• The LED on the MUTE key switches ON.
• The Auditory Alarm Signal is deactivated.
• The Visual Alarm Signal remains active.
• The Message remains displayed in the Alarm/Information Message Area.
It is possible to remove the MUTE status:
• Automatically: when the time has elapsed.
• Manually: pressing again the MUTE key.

If a new alarm is triggered, different from the previous one, during a MUTE status, the MUTE status
will be automatically removed.
MUTE ICON
This icon appears on the Alarm/Information Message Area when the mute function is activated by the
operator pressing the related key on the Hard Key Panel:
At the top of this icon, a Progress Bar is displayed showing the remaining time of the mute function.
9.6.4.2 Confirm
The CONFIRM operation forces a removing of the Information Signal. It clears the Auditory Information
Signals.
After having looked over the Information Signal, the operator can confirm the Information Signal
pressing the CONFIRM button, displayed on the right top side of the Alarm/Information Message Area.
The CONFIRM button that appears in the Alarm/Information Message Area is referenced by the
following symbol:
9.6.4.3 Override
The Artis Dialysis System allows to Override only the alarm related to a Blood Leak Detection.
The Override of this alarm can be performed to give the possibility to ignore it and to continue the
treatment. It is useful every time a recovery of a dangerous situation requires the machine working, to
reactivate some functionality that was stopped due to the alarm presence.
To override the alarm, press the OVERRIDE button displayed in the Alarm/Information Message Area
when the Blood in Dialysis Fluid alarm is triggered.
It is important to consider that during an override period:
• Some of the safety mechanisms are disabled for a limited period of time (about 2 minutes);
• The Auditory and Visible Alarm Signals are maintained;
• The Alarm Message is still displayed in the Alarm/Information Message Area.
If one or more additional faults cause an alarm during the Override state, the description relative to
each fault is displayed in the Alarm/Information Message Area.
! WARNING
During an Override status, the operator is responsible for monitoring of the parameters that have
been overridden.
The Override function is not referenced by a specific symbol.
Code SM_9033239200_09 Rev. / 9-55

9.6.4.4 Reset
Automatic Reset
Some alarms can be automatically RESET by the machine when there are no more failures.
The RESET operation consists of an automatic removing of the alarm after that the conditions that
generated the alarm are satisfied again for a specified time interval dependent on the alarm itself.
After an automatic reset, the Auditory and Visible Alarm Signals are cleared and the functionalities
previously stopped are restored again.
Manual Reset
Some alarms can be manually reset pressing the RESET button that appears in the Alarm/Information
Message Area.
This button is referenced by the following symbol:
! WARNING
Press the RESET button to clear the alarm only after having removed the causes of the alarm.

AIR IN VENOUS LINE 4
Reason Air has been detected in the Venous Patient Line.
Machine • The Arterial and the Venous Pumps are stopped;

Actions • The Venous Line Clamp is closed;
• The UF Rate is automatically set to zero;
NOTE
To remove air from the Venous Patient Line, a negative pressure must be created into the Venous
chamber. Before troubleshooting the alarm, carefully read the following indications:
• The proper range (from -90 mmHg to -80 mmHg) will open the venous line clamp and
facilitate the removal of air from the venous line through the venous chamber;
• Position the manual clamps as described below in order to trap the air in the section of the
circuit between the two clamps;
• First remove the manual clamp on the Venous Patient line in order to maximize air removal
from the patient line;
During the negative venous pressure creation, do not decrease below -150 mmHg and do not
increase above + 40 mmHg in order to prevent any vascular complication or air injection in the
venous line respectively. If these pressures are reached the venous line clamp is closed again and
the procedure must be repeated.
NOTE
In case pressure alarms and “Air in Venous Line” (#4) alarm occur at the same time, pressure
alarms must be resolved first.
This is to ensure that the blood pump starts when the alarm #4 troubleshooting actions have been
completed.

T1 Test SN Presure (code 418) description:

This test verifies that the SN pressure sensor is working properly. At the first part of the test the
Protective System unbalances the resistor bridge sensor by an external resistor and a mosfet. This
operation is performed only if the ultra cassette is not muonted on the Artis Dialysis System. This in effect
causes the output of the SN pressure sensor to reach approximately the value stored during the T1 SN
pressure calibration. At the next step the Protective System verifies that the acquired pressure is 300 ± 40
mmHg. Then the Protective System waits until the ultra cassette is loaded and then the Protective System
verifies the pressure value that has to be in range 0+/- 8 mmHg (zero pressure test). If the test fails, the T1

T1 Test Arterial Pump/AD description:

The arterial pump portion of the T1 test performs the following functions:
• Verifies that the blood pump rotates in the clockwise direction when commanded.
• Verifies that the speed of the blood pump is correct.
Code SM_9033239200_10 Rev. / 10-25

• Verifies that the blood pump will stop when there is in air in blood signal.
• Verifies that the blood pump will not start if the air in blood signal clears.
• Verifies that the control system can shut off the pump.
The Protective System issued a command to the control system to start the blood pump with a primed
disposable and then the Protective System drives the AD sensor test pin to force the detection of air inside
the venous line in order to check that the reaction of the machine at the air detection works correctly. At the
first step of the test, the Protective System requires to the control system to have:
• Blood Flow set of 100 ml/min;
• Arterial Line Clamp open.
After a short period of time the Protective System checks that the flow rate of the pump is in the range +/
-8% respect to the blood flow set command. This command causes the blood pump to rotate in the
clockwise direction. The speed is detected through detecting the rotor position sensors.
The Protective System drives the AD sensor test pin and checks the detection of the air and checks that
the flow rate of the pump is in the range +/-8% respect to the set point and that the direction of the pump is
clockwise. Then checks if the air presence signal is to the level LOW.
At the next step the Protective System masks the air bubble sensor pause in order to stop the arterial
pump and after a short period of time checks that the blood pump is stopped (the blood flow is lower than 10
ml/min). Then the Protective System restores the pause of the air bubble detection. Then checks that the
flow rate of the pump is in the range +/-8% respect to the set point and that the direction of the pump is
clockwise. If the test fails, the T1 Test is terminated with negative result and the machine will generate a
Warning alarm issued with a required confirmation from the operator to continue. Then to perform again the
test, selects the ''Extra-Prime'' option. Generates the alarm ''(419) T1 Test Arterial Pump/ABD''.

5. T1 Test BLD (434)
T1 Test BLD description:

The blood leak detector test uses an optical filter that is in the blood leak detector assembly to cause a
blood leak condition, in order to check its functionality through a specific measurement taken from a
dedicated optical sensor. At the begining of the test the Protective System checks the absence of the blood
Code SM_9033239200_10 Rev. / 10-31

on the BLD and then the Protective System activates the magnet to insert the optical filter in between the
blood leak detector and the infrared detector. The Protective System then looks for a reduction in the signal
indicating that the blood leak detector and the protective system are working properly. The Protective
System deactivates the magnet to remove the optical filter from the BLD. At the end checks the absence of
the blood from the BLD. If the test fails, the machine will generate a “MALFUNCTION 434”.

12. T1 Test Arterial Pressure (code 447)
T1 Test Arterial Pressure (code 447) description:

This test verifies that the arterial pressure sensor is working properly in order to be sure about the real
status of the patient. At the first part of the test the Protective System unbalances the variable resistor bridge
sensor by an external resistor and a mosfet. This operation is performed only if the blood cassette is not
mounted on the Artis Dialysis System. This in effect causes the output of the arterial sensor to reach
approximately the value stored during the T1 arterial pressure calibration. At the next step the Protective
System verifies that the acquired pressure is -200 ± 40 mmHg. Then the Protective System waits until the
blood cassette is loaded and then the Protective System verifies the pressure value that has to be in range
0+/- 8 mmHg (zero pressure test - it is performed when the control system detects the closing of the arterial
pump cover). If the test fails, the T1 Test is terminated with negative result and the machine will generate an

13. Bubble Trap T1 Test (code 493)
Bubble Trap T1 Test (Code 493) description:

The Bubble trap T1 test is performed to control the correct functionality of the optical level sensors LP,
LD1 and LD2 that are inside the bubble traps BTP, BT1 and BT2 for correct reading of AIR and WATER
levels.
At the power on, the hydraulic circuit of the machine should be empty and in this moment the test can be
performed.
When the test starts, the machine checks the status of all optical level sensors and according to the result
10-58 Code SM_9033239200_10 Rev. /

of this check there are two execution methods:

1st case: if the air is detected in all the bubble traps, the machine continues with the hydraulic circuit fill
up. When the procedure of fill up is performed, all the optical level sensors have to detect water.
2nd case: if the air was not detected on at least one bubble trap, the machine performs the emptying of
the Degassing subunit, EVD2 line and the main flow circuit, in order to have all three optical level sensors
detecting air. Then the machine proceeds with the hydraulic fill up. When the procedure of fill up is
performed, all the optical levels have to detect water.
Possible causes for the T1 Bubble Trap Test Alarm (Code 493):
• Obstruction in the airway or ORD
• Failure of LP, LD1 or LD2
• Leak in the air or hydraulic systems

Figure 1: Hydraulic Pressure Control Regions
Burst tubing: Different hydraulic pressure sensors are used to control pressures in various regions of
the hydraulics during some phases. An incorrect pressure measurement by one of these sensors could
potentially lead to burst tubing. Incorrect settings on pressure regulator R1 could also lead to burst tubing,
and a failure of SWP could prevent an overpressure from being detected.
Inadequate degassing: PDG is used to control the degassing pressure. Air in dialysis fluid, or other
indications of inadequate degassing could be due to a problem with PDG pressure sensing. Incorrect
setting on R2 could also lead to inadequate degassing.
EvaClean not draining: Pd is used to control the pressure in the Waste Handling Option to drain the
EvaClean port when in use. If the EvaClean is not draining properly, this could be an indication of a problem
with Pd sensing.
Blood Circuit: The pressure sensors used in the blood circuit are not used for any control functions, so
failure can either result in an alarm or failure to detect an unsafe condition resulting in the patient harms
listed in the introduction.

13.3.2 Arterial and Venous Pumps

The Artis Blood Module is made up of two peristaltic pumps designed for dialysis, with pump
segment inserts of 6.36 x 9.54 mm (0.25x0.38 in).
To control the Arterial and Venous Pumps, the Blood Module is provided with:
• An Electronic Speed Control System to keep the speed constant, independently of load varia-
tions;
• A light on the Hard Key Panel illuminated when the Arterial and Venous Pumps are turning on
(or when they are about to turn on, for example, after an automatic stop caused by an alarm);
• A Pump Direction Monitor;
Code SM_9033239200_13 Rev. / 13-35

• A system to automatically stop the Arterial and Venous Pumps and close the Venous Line
Clamp in case of air or foam detection;
• A Safety Control when the Arterial and Venous Pump Covers are OPEN;
• Two cranks, one for each pump, for manual turning of the Arterial and Venous Pumps.

13.3.3 Blood Flow

The Artis Dialysis System displays the following values related to the blood flow:
• The blood flow set value
• The blood flow actual value.
The blood flow set value represents the theoretical blood flow rate in the extra-corporeal circuit
calculated from the speed of the Arterial Pump rotor and the geometric characteristics of the pump
segment.
The blood flow actual value is the actual blood flow rate in the extra-corporeal circuit. The actual
value is usually lower than the set value due to the negative pressure in the access line at the inlet to the
pump. The negative pressure is caused by the rotation of the pump itself and pressure drop linked to the
motion of blood in the line. The actual value coincides with the set value when the pump inlet pressure
(arterial pressure) is zero.
The accuracy on the estimate, using GAMBRO Blood Cassette, is reported in the tables below and
it’s guaranteed only inside the reported ranges of pressure in the arterial chamber of the cassette, Actual
blood Flow and Treated Blood Volume.
The blood flow actual value is estimated by means of a mathematical algorithm taking into account
the pump segment characteristics of GAMBRO Blood Cassette, the current pump speed and the pressure
values in the extra-corporeal circuit.
NOTE
The Artis Dialysis System will be able to calculate and display the accumulated blood
volume in the range 0 to 999 litres.
13-36 Code SM_9033239200_13 Rev. /

! WARNING
Be aware that performing the treatment at extremely negative pre-pump Arterial
Pressure (lower than -150 mmHg) will reduce the blood flow. This can result in reduced
treatment effectiveness.
Pre-pump Arterial Pressure is the pressure measured by the Arterial Pressure Sensor.
! WARNING
A dedicated alarm (Low Blood Pump Speed #204) exists in order to avoid blood loss due
to coagulation resulting from interruption of blood flow.

13.3.7 Automatic Functions

The following automatic functions are available with the Artis Dialysis System:
1 HD-SN Treatment: arterial/venous cycles occur through automatic transition when the set
Stroke Volume and the commutation pressure are reached.
2. Linear or Intermittent Heparin Delivery: through programming of the rate and timing of deliv-
ery.
3. Heparin Bolus Injection Characteristics
4. Blood Sensor before Venous Line Clamp: before blood detection by the Blood Sensor or
before starting the dialysis treatment, some alarms are bypassed to allow easier filling of the
extracorporeal and hydraulic circuits.
5. Ultra Control: in HDF Post Treatment with Pressure control mode, it is possible to activate the
Ultra Control functionality (ref to “13.2.5 Substitution Fluid” section of this chapter)
6. Automatic Pump control: in online treatments with Volume or Pressure control mode, each
time that the substitution pump is stopped due to any reasons, the machine automatically
decreases the Arterial Pump speed in order to avoid venous pressure peaks.
13.3.8 Main Surveillance Devices

Following the specifications related to the main surveillance devices available with the Artis Dialysis
System.
Ultrasonic Air Detector
The Blood Module has an Air Detector consisting of:

• An Ultrasonic Sensor located into the right Sensor Bar;
• A Transducer which carries out the auto-test every 350 ms;
• A Visual and Audible Alarm which is activated if air is detected.
Parameter Values
Detection Method • An ultrasonic wave band crosses the fluid in the blood
line. When air is present in the line, the signal
received by the detector is modified in proportion to
the volume of air present. When the signal goes above
a fixed threshold, the microprocessor triggers a signal,
which causes the Venous Line Clamp to close and the
Arterial and Venous Pumps to stop.
Code SM_9033239200_13 Rev. / 13-43

Parameter Values
Sensitivity • Bubble volume ≥ 20 micro litres (±1 micro litre), at

max. flow rate
Arterial Pressure Monitoring
The Arterial Pressure Sensor is used for measuring pre-pump arterial pressure in order to protect the
patient from high negative arterial pressures between the patient and the Arterial pump.
During a treatment, an Arterial Pressure alarm will be triggered if the pressure measurements are not
within the following ranges:
• Minimum and Maximum treatment limits;
• Minimum and Maximum Arterial pressure limits, calculated as:
Max Arterial Limit = Operating value + Arterial Positive Offset

Min Arterial Limit = Operating value - Arterial Negative Offset
NOTE
In case of Fast Recovery procedure, the Artis Dialysis System will automatically set the
Extreme Alarm limits as the Minimum and Maximum Arterial pressure limits.
Parameter Values
Operating Range • -400 to +150 mmHg
Accuracy • ±10 mmHg or ±10%, whichever is greater (in the

range -400 mmHg to +20 mmHg)
• ±20 mmHg (in the range +20 mmHg to +150
mmHg)
Offset Values (Default)a • Positive: 10 to 100 mmHg, in steps of 5 mmHg

(60 mmHg or 100 mmHg in HD-SN Treatment)
• Negative: 10 to 80 mmHg, in steps of 5 mmHg
(60 mmHg or 80 mmHg in HD-SN Treatment)
Treatment Limits(Default)a • Min: -300 to -100 mmHg, in steps of 10 mmHg (-

a. Can be preset
13-44 Code SM_9033239200_13 Rev. /

NOTE
Modification of the Blood Flow Rate causes a fluctuation in the Arterial Pressure and
therefore an alarm may be triggered.
To prevent such an effect, following any start/stop of the Arterial pump or change in the
Blood Flow Rate the Arterial pressure Alarm Window is automatically set wider for 120
seconds in HD-DN, HD-DNDP, HD-SN, HDF Post, HDF Pre, HF Pre and AFB K
Treatments.
Venous Pressure Monitoring
During a treatment, a Venous Pressure alarm will be triggered if the pressure

measurements are not within the following ranges:
• Minimum and Maximum treatment limits;
• Minimum and Maximum Venous pressure limits, calculated as:
Max Venous Limit = Operating value + Venous Positive Offset
Min Venous Limit = Operating value - Venous Negative Offset
Parameter Values
Accuracy • ±10 mmHg or ±10%, whichever is greater (in
the range -20 mmHg to +450 mmHg)
• ±20 mmHg (in the range -100 mmHg to -20

Treatment)
a. Can be preset
Code SM_9033239200_13 Rev. / 13-45

NOTE
A Safety Test of the Venous Pressure Monitoring System is automatically performed
each time the machine enters the Preparation mode.
NOTE
Modification of the Blood Flow Rate causes a fluctuation in the Venous Pressure and
therefore an alarm may be triggered.
To prevent such an effect, following any start/stop of the Arterial pump or change in the
Blood Flow Rate the Venous Pressure Alarm Window is automatically set wider for 120
seconds in HD-DN, HD-DNDP, HD-SN, HDF Post, HDF Pre, HF Pre and AFB K
Treatments.
! WARNING
Monitoring of the Venous Pressure could not always detect the disconnection of a
venous needle from its access site, which may result in extracorporeal blood loss to the
environment. When a venous needle disconnects from its access, pressure at the
venous monitoring side may only decrease by the pressure maintained within the
patient’s vascular access. This pressure drop may be less than the width of the
machine’s venous pressure alarm window: in this particular case the disconnection of a
venous needle from its access site is not detectable by the machine, even if pressure
alarms and alarm windows are properly set.
To reduce the risk of needles disconnection:
• ensure that venous needle and line are firmly secured to the access site area according
to your clinic's protocol;
• ensure that the patient's access is visible at all times during the dialysis treatment;
• inspect frequently the patient's access;
• adjust properly the venous pressure alarm window: the venous pressure alarm lower
limit should be set as closely as practical to the actual patient’s venous pressure value
without generating excessive nuisance alarms.
13-46 Code SM_9033239200_13 Rev. /

SN Pressure (HD-SN Treatment)
In HD-SN Treatment, the pressure transducer measures the blood pressure into the Post-Dialyzer
Expansion Chamber in order to manage the Arterial and Venous phases.
Arterial and Venous phases are managed according to the SN Pressure Max. and Min. values
calculated on the basis of the Stroke Volume set by the operator.
Parameter Values
Accuracy • ±10 % (in the Operating Range +300 mmHg to +800

mmHg)
• ±20 mmHg or ±10%, whichever is greater (in the
Operating Range -100 mmHg to +300 mmHg)
Alarm Limits • SN Pressure Max.: +450 mmHg

(see NOTE1)
NOTE1
SN Pressure Min. is automatically controlled during the Venous phase and it can not be
lower than 40 mmHg.
When this pressure is reached the machine automatically switches from the Venous
phase to the Arterial one.
Hospasol Infusion Line Pressure (AFB K Treatment)
Parameter Values
Accuracy • ±10 mmHg (in the Operating Range -50 mmHg to

+100 mmHg)
• ±20 mmHg (in the Operating Range -100 mmHg to -50
mmHg)
Alarm Limits • -50 mmHg to +75 mmHg
End of Infusion bag
The Artis Dialysis System is designed to trigger alarms if, in AFB K treatment, the end of infusion bag
is detected.
This criterion is active only after patient connection by monitoring the weight changes on the AFB K
Scale.
If no weight changes are detected on the AFB K Scale, the Venous Pump is stopped within a interval
time enough to avoid the emptying of the Infusion Cassette chamber.
Infusion Flow Rate
The Artis Dialysis System is designed to trigger alarms if, in AFB K treatment, the Infusion Flow rate
error exceeds specific values.
This criterion is active only after patient connection by comparing the weight changes on the AFB K
Code SM_9033239200_13 Rev. / 13-47

Scale and the Infusion Fluid Volume given to the patient by means of the Venous Pump. The alarm is
triggered each time the difference between these two values is greater than 50, 100 and 150 g.
13.3.9 Safety system actuators

The Artis Dialysis System is supplied with the following safety system actuators:
Arterial Line Clamp • Used for HD-SN Treatment
Venous Line Clamp • Automatic closure when required by an alarm as part

of a specific safety state;
• Closure in HD-SN Treatment to reduce recirculation;
• The Venous Line Clamp is fitted with a position sensor
to ensure proper functioning of the clamp, and to

are applied to the machine:
• Arterial Pump Stop
• Venous Pump Stop
• Venous Line clamp Closed
• Dialysis Fluid Bypass (to prevent it reaching the dialyzer)
Each time a Specific Safe State is applied, the related auditory and visual alarms are triggered.
In case that the Specific Safe State is not properly applied, the Protective System places the machine
in a General Safe State and:
• Closes the Venous Line Clamp;
• Switches OFF the Power Supply to all the actuators, except to those for visual and audible
alarms.

In evaluating network security, the Responsible Organization should consider:
• Restricting unauthorized access to the network and networked

medical devices;
• Making certain appropriate antivirus software and firewalls are up-to-
date;
• Monitoring network activity for unauthorized use;
• Protecting individual network components through routine and
periodic evaluation, including updating security patches and
disabling all unnecessary ports and services;
• Contacting the manufacturer if you think you may have a
cybersecurity problem related to the medical device.
Connection of Artis Dialysis System to an IT-Network that includes other

equipment could result in previously unidentified risks to patients, operators or
third parties.
The Responsible Organization should identify, analyse, evaluate and control

these risks.
14-2 Code SM_9033239200_14 Rev. /

Subsequent changes to the IT-Network could introduce new risks and require
additional analysis.
Changes to the IT-Network include:
• Changes in the IT-Network configuration;

• Connection of additional items to the IT-Network;
• Disconnecting items from an IT-Network;
• Update of equipment connected to the IT-Network;
Upgrade of equipment connected to the IT-Network.
! WARNING
Before connecting the Artis Dialysis System to an Ethernet
network, the Responsible Organization must ensure that the
network is dedicated or adequately segregated. Artis Dialysis
System can be only connected to external devices aiming at
exchanging Artis clinical/technical data. The Responsible
Organization shall properly configure the network in order to
satisfy the segregation requirement according to the instruction
provided in this manual.
Gambro declines any responsibility or liability related to machine
malfunction or missing or incorrect Data transferred caused by an
incorrect network configuration.
Code SM_9033239200_14 Rev. / 14-3

14.1 Connectivity requirements
This paragraph provides recommended guidelines in order to properly connect

the Artis Dialysis Systems on customer's network.
The guidelines aim to describe some scenarios (more options might be possible)
to setup a dedicated network where dialysis equipments can perform treatments
without interference by external network factors.
In case the connectivity guidelines listed below are not followed this could lead to
Missing or incorrect Data transferred or Artis Dialysis System unavailability.
14.1.1 Segregation scenarios
14.1.1.1 Air-gapped networks
In this scenario a dedicated network is created using committed network

equipments. Both connectivity and network addressing requirements must be
satisfied by the dialysis facility’s IT groups. Only devices physically connected to
the dedicated network equipment can be communicated to each other.
•Benefit: very low broadcast level and easy device access control.
•Disadvantage: no way to communicate with the outside world,

required manual network address assignation on each device..
14-4 Code SM_9033239200_14 Rev. /

Technical Information (Green LAN)
•The Switch used in this scenario for the dialysis machines is a Switch
Layer 2.
14.1.1.2 Bridged networks
In this scenario a dedicated dialysis machine network was setup and a device
(bridge) put this network in communication with the Hospital's network. Device in
the dialysis network can be communicated to each other but it was isolated from
the Hospital's network with the exception of traffic explicitly allowed by configured
network rules on the bridge device.
•Benefit: low broadcast level. User's configurable communication

channel.
•Disadvantage: erroneous configuration of bridge device can broke the

segregation model
Technical Information (Green LAN)
•The Ethernet board used in this scenario is a PCI - Gigabit Ethernet

board.
•The Switch used in this scenario for the dialysis machines it is a Switch
Layer 2.
Code SM_9033239200_14 Rev. / 14-5

14.1.1.3 VLAN networks
In this scenario the network connection is provided by a switch that supports

VLANs. VLAN can be used to create multiple pseudo dedicated networks on the
same network equipment. VLAN also creates different broadcast domains that
could help lower down the broadcast traffic. Communication between different
VLANs can be achieved using a bridge, a router or a L3-capable switch.
NOTE
Please be aware that high-load traffic on a single VLAN could
impact the performance on all the VLANs because they share the
same physical switch.
•Benefit: low broadcast level. User's configurable communication

channel (requires a bridge or a router).
•Disadvantage: manual network address configuration on each VLAN

(in absence of DHCP server). VLANs must be correctly
configured on the switch.
Technical Information
•The Switch used in this scenario it is a Switch Layer 3 with VLAN

support.
14-6 Code SM_9033239200_14 Rev. /

NOTE
For detailed device configuration refer to the device operator
manual and the IT dialysis facility personnel.
Routing rules required, in order to configure properly the network communication

from the VLAN ID 1 to VLAN ID 2. (It is available from VLAN ID1 to VLAN ID2 but
not vice versa).
Following an example about how to configure a VLAN on Cisco devices. This is

not to be intended as a unique guideline since more alternatives are available
once approaching the network configuration:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk815/
technologies_configuration_example09186a008019e74e.shtml
All the scenarios mentioned above are applicable to Artis Dialysis Systems
connected to the Exalis system or using the HL7 functionality.
It is mandatory to connect all the dialysis systems mentioned above and the
related acquisition software (Exalis system or external software application) in a
dedicated network.
Gambro declines any responsibilities related to machines malfunction caused by
an incorrect network configuration.

VOLUME 2
Chapter 15. HYDRAULIC PHASE

DESCRIPTION
NOTE
All the schematics related to each phase have the only purpose to show the flow direction during the
phase itself.
15.1 Dialysis process

The Dialysis process involves all the Modules of the machine.
Signals to be checked at the machine switch ON:
• Water inside the circuit
• Dialysis fluid connectors positioned in by-pass position
If these signals are not in the right State, the machine will display an Error Message and wait
intervention by the operator.
After these starting phases have been done correctly, the process goes on with the Cartridge priming,
dialysis fluid preparation and distribution.
These phases are followed by the Dialyzer Priming and Patient Connection, Treatment. At the end of
the process, there are Rinseback and Emptying phases leading to a fixed configuration from which the
Hydraulic circuit can be rinsed.
15.1.1 Dialysis Phases
NOTE
The specifications are related only to the condition of both Ultrafilters installed.
During some transition phases the machine may use a Blind Mode to control the P1 or P2 pumps when
the D1C or D2C are not able to provide a measure due to the absence of ions.
The Blind Mode defines a frequency to control P1 or P2 pump using an internal parameter, the PFS or
PO-PD pressure sensors and a corrective coefficient.
The BlindP1M or BlindP2M parameters available in the Service Data Page 1 show when the P1 or P2
pumps are in Blind Mode.

15.1.2 Dialysis:phase 1-Pre Check: Electro valves T1 Test - HD-DN/HD-

SN/HD-DNDP/HDF/HF Treatments
The Protective Subsystem test a group of electrovalves that are safety relevant. The T1 test is
performed in order to detect a problem in the activation/deactivation of the electrovalves and in order to
verify if the Protective Subsystem can correctly detect the status of those electrovalves.
NOTE
The valves currently checked are: EV2, EVBP2, EVDS2 and EVDS1.
Test procedure:
The Protective Subsystem requires setting to ON the electrovalves and it verifies if the command lines
are ON for 2 seconds. Then it requires setting to OFF the electrovalves and it verifies if the command lines
are OFF for 2 seconds.
There is a 20 seconds timeout for every state (ON/OFF) of the electrovalves. If the Protective
Subsystem detects an error during the command lines reading or if the timeout expires there is a General
Safe State.
Displayed Result:
0301h The Protective Subsystem has NOT detected the correct activation of one of the valves: EV2,
0302h The Protective Subsystem has NOT detected the correct deactivation of one of the valves:
EV2, EVBP2, EVDS2, EVDS1.
02FEh The T1 Test is correctly terminated.
Electro valves Test extended test

Protective System tests two groups of valves:
1. EV2, EVBP2, EVD2, EVDS1, EVR1, EVA, EVC, EVD, EVDRAIN, EVDS2;
2. EVH20, EVPA, EVPB, EVW1, EVD1, EVPRIM1, EVS, EVFLUSH, EVW2.
The groups are related to the kind of modality that is sent by the Protective System to the SPS (System
Processing Software).
If the modality is set to 1 Protective System controls the valves of the group 1.

15.2 Rinsing Process

The Rinsing process is used in order to remove chemicals disinfectant after each chemical disinfection
and generally to flush the hydraulic circuit from deposits.
The hydraulic circuit is always flushed with filtered water passing through the Ultrafilters, if they are
installed. The only exception is the EVR1-EVS line that is flushed with water coming directly from the water
inlet and then flushed to the drain through the EvaClean line.
The user can perform a Rinse program by selecting the dedicated Soft button or by presetting the
process in the Auto Start table in order to start the process at a preset time. In the latter case the process is
carried out automatically.
The Rinse starts automatically at the machine wake up at the exit of a Low Power or Display off state or
at the machine switch on if there is chemical disinfectant in the hydraulic circuit because a program using
chemicals (Chemical, CleanCart Cartridge) has not been completed.
The Rinse that starts will have the duration set in Service Menu for the correspondent chemical program
not completed so that the chemical removal is ensured.
In case of Heat with CleanCart Cartridge not completed, a Rinse with a proper duration will start
automatically.
During the Rinse process after the Hypochlorite Chemical program, the heater is activated: the first
cycle is performed at 35 °C (same temperature used also during the chemical disinfection itself), the
second is performed at 50 °C while the last three cycles are performed at 65 °C.
Water consumption
The water consumption per machine for a rinse of 27 minutes duration is approximately 17 litres, for a
rinse of 38 minutes duration is approximately 25 litres and for a rinse of 94 minutes is approximately 50
litres.
Process Time
The Rinse program has a (minimum) duration of 16 minutes (including fill up and draining phases). The
minimum duration is enough to remove dialysis concentrate residuals.
• The Rinse that follows a Hypochlorite Chemical program has a duration of 94 minutes.
• The Rinse that follows a Peracetic Chemical program has a (minimum) duration of 38 minutes.
• The Rinse that follows a Low Peracetic Chemical program has a (minimum) duration of 27 minutes.
Process time can be selected among different time durations: 16, 27, 38 minutes.
Phase 16: time management
Rinse of 16 minutes: The time of the 16th phase is equal to the total time of the process minus the sum
of the all the other phases implemented into the process (about 126 seconds).
Rinse of 27 minutes: The 16th phase is done two times. First time the time is equal to 70 seconds, while
the second time is equal to the total time of the process minus the sum of the all the other phases
implemented into the process.
Rinse of 38 minutes: The 16th phase is done three times. First and second time the time is equal to 70
seconds, while the third time is equal to the total time of the process minus the sum of the all the other

Measurement of the Efficacy of the Rinse Process

Rinsing process is intended at removing chemical residuals in the hydraulic circuit after a Chemical
process. The levels of residuals are checked and must be below acceptance criteria (which means:
formaldehyde < 0. 5 ppm according to ANSI AAMI RD 62 and sodium hypochlorite 0.1 ppm according to
European Pharmacopoeia, others disinfectant residual limits shall follow manufacturer’s
recommendations).
Ceramic pumps settings (Pa, Pb, Ps, Psel):
If the ceramic pump is driven in open loop the specified set value is a flow (ml/min). From this value is
possible to find out the driving frequency by the following formula:
400 1
f = q ⋅ --------- × ---
3 k
Where f is the driving frequency (expressed in Hz) and q is the set flow (expressed in ml/min). This
frequence is set by the master with a tolerance of ±135 Hz, for the Ps the tolerance is of 4 Hz.
Gear pumps settings (Pc, P1, P2, PWHO):
If the gear pump is driven in open loop the set is expressed as percentage of the allowable range of
driving frequencies (20000 Hz).
For each pump, the specified set value of the flow represents the mean value after a transitional stage
(5-6 s)
P2_PWHO_FREQ_CHECK: automatism on Hydraulic Slave that checks the difference between the
driving frequencies of pumps P1 and P2, P2 and PWHO respectively. If the difference between the P1 and
P2 is too high the frequency of P2 is set to the driving frequency of P1 less 5 kHz. The same applies to the
PWHO if the difference between its driving frequency and the one of P2 is too high. The application of this
automatism is always active unless disabled by the master or in special hydraulic valves configuration
detected by the hydraulic slave itself.
UltraFilter Presence
The process can be run in the following conditions:
1. without Ultrafilter
2. with one UltraFilter (UF2)
3. with two Ultrafilter
NOTE
Alarm condition management
In case an alarm occurs, the phase currently running stops and a special management is actuated: all
the pumps will be stopped and after 2 s all the electro valves (except EVDRAIN) will be set to OFF. This
configuration is kept as long as program time + 30 additional minutes have elapsed, then the Artis Dialysis
system goes to display off. If the alarm condition resets, the process continues from where it was
interrupted.
Each time the process restarts from an alarm condition, the process will run the phase from the
beginning and process time will be updated consequently.
NOTE
In the following tables when the same field can have different values depending on the type of
Rinsing process that is running, the following notation has been used:
• (Hypo) - for Rinsing process after Hypochlorite Chemical program;
• (Others) - for others Rinsing processes.
Code SM_9033239200_15 Rev. / 15-135

The machine use a Blind Mode to control the P1 or P2 pumps when the D1C or D2C are not able to
provide a measure due to the absence of ions.
The Blind Mode defines a frequency to control P1 or P2 pump using:
• an internal parameter, the PFS or PO-PD pressure sensors and a corrective coefficient.
• an internal parameter multiplied by a corrective coefficient, when the status of the P1 or P2 pumps
show “%”(the internal parameter in terms of a percentage of the maximum pump command
frequency).

15.3 Rinse CCK

A rinse process can be performed in order to remove concentrates from the Central Concentrate Tube.
To carry out the Central Concentrate Tube rinse process the proper configuration of the tubes must be
set (for detailed information, refer to the Section “Rinse CCK” of the Chapter “Disinfection/Rinse/Cleaning”
of the Operator’s Manual).
Process Time
The Rinse program has a duration of 4 minutes.

Alarm condition management
In case an alarm occurs, the phase currently running stops and a special management is actuated: all
the pumps will be stopped after 2 s and all the electro valves (except EVDRAIN) will be set to OFF. The
EVDRAIN must be kept ON to avoid pipe disconnection in case of reset of alarm condition and consequent
pumps restart. This configuration is kept as long as program time +30 additional minutes have elapsed,
then the Artis Dialysis System goes to display off. If the alarm condition resets, the process continues from
where it was interrupted.
Each time the process restarts from an alarm condition, the process will run the phase interrupted by the
alarm occurrence from the beginning and process time will be updated consequently.
UltraFilter Presence
The process can be run in the following conditions:

1. without Ultrafilter
2. with one UltraFilter (UF2)
3. with two Ultrafilter

Where:
f = the driving frequency (expressed in Hz)
q = the set flow (expressed in ml/min).
k = the stroke volume of the pump (expressed in 10*ml/rev).
This frequency is set by the master with a tolerance of ±135Hz (for the Ps the tolerance is of 4 Hz).
For each pump, the specified set value of the flow represents the mean value after a transitional stage
(5-6 s)
P2_PWHO_FREQ_CHECK:
Automatism on Hydraulic Slave that checks the difference between the driving frequencies of pumps P1
and P2 and P2 and PWHO respectively. If the difference between the P1 and P2 is too high the frequency
of P2 is set to the driving frequency of P1 less 5 kHz. The same applies to the PWHO pump if the difference
between its driving frequency and the one of P2 is too high. The application of this automatism is always
active unless disabled by the master or in special hydraulic configuration of valves detected by the
hydraulic slave itself.

15.4 Chemical disinfection Process

The aim of the Chemical process is to disinfect the hydraulic circuit of the Artis Dialysis System by using
an external disinfectant that is automatically diluted by the machine itself in order to achieve the set
concentration. The intake of the disinfectant is through the electrovalves EVD or EVC connected at the rear
of the machine.
There are two kinds of chemical process:
• Chemical
• Chemical bacteriostatic
The chemicals allowed to be used in the machine are the following:
• Among Peracetic acid based solutions (Actril 0.06%, Dialox 0.35%, Oxagal 0.5%, Hemoclean 1.5%,
Acetoper 35 3%, Puristeril 340 3.5%, Renalin 4%, Peresal 4%).
• Among Sodium Hypochlorite based solutions (7%, 5%):
• Bleach, Amuchina
Interaction with the User
A chemical process can be performed by selecting the dedicated soft key. The chemical intake is
performed through the jugs connected to rear of the machine, therefore the user has the possibility of
choosing among two different disinfectant intakes: Yellow connector and Clear connector.
The process is then carried out automatically since disinfectant intake does not require any intervention
from the user.
NOTE
In order to perform a chemical disinfection program using a disinfectant canister, it is necessary to
install the Chemical Container Shelf.
For further information on the availability of this component, contact your Local Representative.
All the chemical programs will be listed in Service Menu and will have the dilution ratio and rinse time
SW coded so that the technician will just have the possibility to decide what program can be made
accessible to the user accordingly with the disinfectant used in the clinic.
Process Time
The duration of the process includes dilution and distribution phases and minimum dwell phase.
Each dilution and distribution phase has a fixed duration since it has been calculated according to the
tubing length in order to fill up each tubing completely with diluted disinfectant.
Preliminary (quick flush) and dilution phases have duration of about 11 minutes. Minimum dwell time is 5
minutes and maximum is 10 minutes.
Water consumption
The water consumption per machine for a Chemical process (following Rinse process excluded, to be
counted separately) is approximately 6.5 litres.
Dilution ratio
The dilution ratio is 1:35. The appropriate dilution ratio is associated to the specific chemical process.
