Hello all. I noticed that on this forum there is not a lot of answers for conductivity issues for newbies like me. I am a brand new biomed with little to no experience. I was wondering where I should start or what are your usual checks for when a machine gets pulled for conductivity issues? Looking for as many answers as possible.

Your best bet as a new BioMed is to consistently use the troubleshooting guide. This will make you familiar with the troubleshooting process. I have found over the course of the last 28 years that the more core knowledge a BioMed has about the processes the better the troubleshooter they become.

I think one of the most important things is the Fresenius order of hydraulic troubleshooting.
1. External water leaks
2. No water
3. Flow errors
5. Temperature
6. Conductivity
7. Filling programs (air sensed in the hydraulics)
8. TMP
9. Blood leak
10. Pressure test failures
This is a big deal because each item on the list can cause problems with the items below it. For example, flow errors will turn of the heater. Don't troubleshoot for a heater problem if you have a flow error. If the temperature is out of specs, the conductivity may be off as well. Don't troubleshoot the conductivity until you solve the temperature problem, etc.
