Hydraulic System Architecture, Degassing & Balancing Chambers

A critical focus of the Nipro Diamax Dialysis Machine Maintenance Manual is the operation and maintenance of the closed-loop hydraulic circuit. Proper dialysis fluid delivery relies on precise heating, negative-pressure deaeration, exact concentrate proportioning, and volumetric fluid balancing. The manual outlines the full fluid progression through every operational phase:

• Inlet & Degassing Circuit: Incoming treated dialysis water passes through pressure regulator PR1 (adjusted to 0.025 ± 0.01 MPa) and enters the stainless steel heat exchanger (HEX) and heater tank (BT). Heating is maintained between 30.0°C and 40.0°C with dual thermistor monitoring. The deaeration gear pump P1 draws negative pressure (-0.08 MPa or lower) across deaeration orifice OL3 to purge dissolved gases into the deaeration buffer tank (AS1) and air separator tank (AS2), where float switches evacuate trapped air.
• Proportioning & Mixing: Concentrates are metered via dedicated Hicera ceramic piston pumps—Pump P4 for B-liquid (bicarbonate) and Pump P5 for A-liquid (acid). Fluid conductivity is continuously validated by temperature-compensated conductivity sensor blocks (CD1 through CD4) spanning 10.0 to 17.0 mS/cm for total dialysate and 1.0 to 8.0 mS/cm for bicarbonate.
• Balancing Chambers (CHa & CHb): Fluid balancing is achieved through twin rigid volumetric chambers divided by flexible fluorocarbon rubber (FKM) diaphragms. Eight two-way solenoid valves (V21 through V28) cycle synchronously to deliver exact matched volumes of fresh dialysate to the dialyzer while extracting equivalent volumes of spent dialysate. The manual details chamber capacities (Type 1 casing: 223 mL; Type 2 casing: 248 mL), diaphragm replacement steps, and the critical requirement to match chamber shell types to prevent flow and conductivity alarms.
• Ultrafiltration (UF) System: Ultrafiltration removal is driven independently by piston pump P3, which extracts precise volumes directly from the balancing circuit. The manual provides detailed instructions for calibrating one-shot UF stroke volumes, setting correction coefficients (d and d′), and executing volumetric verification tests to guarantee fluid extraction accuracy within ±30 g/h at rates up to 3.00 L/h.
• Disinfection & Chemical Rinsing: Step-by-step fluid paths are provided for hot water disinfection (75°C to 85°C), citric acid decalcification, sodium hypochlorite disinfection, and peracetic acid sterilization, complete with automated dwell times and residual chemical test protocols.

Extracorporeal Circuit, Peristaltic Pumps & Safety Detectors

Patient safety during hemodialysis depends upon the flawless performance of the blood circuit modules. The Nipro Diamax Single Patient Dialysis Machine Maintenance Manual MX2010-1704E6 provides detailed diagnostic criteria, mechanical tolerances, and adjustment methods for every extracorporeal component:

• Peristaltic Blood Pump (BP1): Two-roller design with automatic tube gap adjustment springs supporting 8.0 mm large-bore tubing (25 to 600 mL/min) and 6.35 mm small-bore tubing (15 to 550 mL/min). Technicians are guided through occlusion gap verification, checking play and abnormal noise, blocking pressure tests holding 375 mmHg (±20 mmHg over 1 minute), and electronic flow rate calibration.
• Syringe Infusion Pump (HP): Microprocessor-controlled lead-screw drive supporting 10 mL, 20 mL, and 30 mL clinical syringes for heparin delivery. The manual details guide rod lubrication using Molykote G-n paste, half-nut engagement checks, overload switch activation thresholds (53.9 to 58.8 N load / 0.1 to 0.12 MPa pressure), bolus volume accuracy (±10%), and stroke ratio configuration in software.
• Air Bubble Detector (ABD): Ultrasonic transmission sensor capable of identifying single micro-bubbles from 0.3 μL to 10.0 μL and accumulated bubble volumes up to 1000 μL at blood flows of 200 mL/min, triggering immediate venous line clamp closure.
• Optical Blood Leak Detector (BLD): High-sensitivity optical sensor positioned on the dialysate effluent line detecting hemoglobin leakage from 0 to 370 ppm (alarm threshold 190 ppm at 32% hematocrit). Includes step-by-step procedures for glass flow-cell cleaning, avoiding optical scratching, clearing dirty sensor zerolize codes (errors 0113 and 1003), and installing the BLD Type 3 conversion unit on older chassis.
• Pressure Monitoring Transducers: Detailed servicing protocols for arterial pressure (PG4a), venous pressure (PG5), dialyzer inlet pressure (PG4b), and dialysate pressure (PG3), complete with zero-offset adjustments and span calibrations using external precision manometers.

Electronic Architecture, Board Diagnostics & Technician Service Modes

The electronic infrastructure of the Nipro Diamax centers on a modular card-cage rack linked via a heavy-duty motherboard. The manual outlines full electrical schematics, PCB jumper functions, diagnostic test points, and safety interlocks:

• Mother P.C. Board (BP02-14A / BP05-11 Series): Serves as the central communication backplane routing DC bus power (+24V, +12V, +5V, ±15V analog lines), valve solenoid drive signals, sensor inputs, and external communication links.
• Control P.C. Board (CPU1 – BP02-16B / BP05-12 Series): Governs pump speed control, proportional mixing algorithms, valve timing sequences, and user interface commands. The manual documents onboard DIP switches (SW2, SW3, SW4), analog reference test points (+2.500V, +3.333V, +5.120V), NVRAM chips (U18 and U30) for holding calibration data during board replacement, and lithium button cell replacement (CR2450) for system clock preservation.
• Monitor P.C. Board (CPU2 – BP02-17 / BP05-13 Series): Operates as an independent hardware safety watchdog, continuously auditing pump rotation speeds, temperature safety limits, conductivity windows, and venous clamp actuation. If discrepancies occur between CPU1 and CPU2, the system forces bypass mode and halts the blood pump.
• Driver P.C. Board (BP02-18B / BP05-14 Series): Interfaces logic signals with high-current actuators, driving the deaeration and dialysate gear pumps, UF stepping motors, and concentrate proportioning pumps.
• Technician & Maker Service Modes: Instructions for logging into protected machine software levels using authorized PASS IDs. Service screens allow real-time manual valve overriding (forced output), direct flow monitoring, digital sensor calibration without trimpot adjustment, custom weekly rinse program scheduling, and ultrafiltration profiling.
