Just a quick question about replacement keyboards. I just got one in and it has a grounding wire on it. All others I have gotten in past only have the the main cable but no grounding cable.
Wondering if maybe the BlueStar Premium machines keyboard have the grounding strap and maybe they sent me the wrong one. My machine was recently upgraded to BlueStar Premium but we did nothing with the keyboards.
Thanks,

There are 2 keyboards Fresenius sells. The bluestar and the 2008T version. They have different part numbers as far as I know they both work the same. Recently I ordered both due to the supply issue hoping either would come in. The T keyboards I replaced with the bluestar are having no issues.
I connected the ground wire to the aluminum square rod where there is another ground already

I'd also like to point out there was a letter sent out regarding keyboards back in june from Robert Greggory which stated:
"CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION ABOUT KEYBOARD COMPONENTS"
June 2022
Dear Valued Customer:
Due to current supply chain issues with key electronic components, keyboard assemblies for the 2008® and 2008T BlueStarTM Hemodialysis Machines are currently on backorder. We are working diligently to address this situation.
The affected part numbers are the following:
• 190856 KIT, 2008T KEYBOARD REPLACEMENT
• 191192 KIT, 2008T BLUESTAR KEYBOARD REPLACEMENT
At present, we are receiving very limited quantities of the electronic components required to manufacture keyboards. Therefore, as parts are received and keyboards do become available, orders will be fulfilled on a limited allocation basis of two (2) keyboards per clinic. This process will continue until we receive sufficient quantities of electronic components to resume normal keyboard production.
FMCNA values your business and is committed to meeting your needs for quality service, equipment, and products. Should you have questions, please call our Spare Parts Customer Service Department at 1-800-227-2572.
Sincerely,
Robert Gregory
Product Director – Machines & Spare Parts

I could be wrong but it sounds like they may all have the grounding wire now. An notice sent out recently instructs biomed how to attach. I don't know if this is a temporary situation or a not but the real difference, and what you need to look for, is the blue star label. A keyboard with a blue star label shouldn't be on a non-blue star machine.
