0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 CPU OVERVIEW The 1550 system (Figure 3-1) is designed around three main
68000 processors: Control, Monitor, and UFC. In addition to
handling specific inputs and outputs, the three CPU's
communicate privately over a separate bus. Four additional
dedicated processors are used for the following:
Smart Connection (68HC11)
Blood Pump (1802)
Heparin Pump (1802)
Pressure Displays (1802)
This design approach allows for rapid processing of data by
sharing the tasks. It also provides for software programs that
include multi-processor cross checks which enhance patient
safety. An additional benefit lies in the modular approach in
that, if one system is defective (e.g., UFC Controller), the 1550
does not simply shut down. In most cases it will indicate that
there is a problem, but the treatment can continue with manual
assistance. Even in the worst cases, treatment can be ended in
a controlled manner.
3.1.1 Side Panel CPU One function of IB21 is to gather data from the front door
(IB21) arterial, venous, and transmembrane pressure monitors, and
from the Monitor CPU (PC17), and send it to the Renal Link
on request over a fiber optic connection. It also displays all
Side Panel messages on its 16-character display. Operator
input via the 16 button key pad is sent to IB21. THE
SCHEMATIC FOR IB21, 157-1238-962, CAN BE FOUND
IN APPENDIX F.
3.1.2 Monitor CPU (PC The primary function of the Monitor CPU (PC17) (Figure 3-3)
16/17) is to directly control the system initialization (startup
sequence), Smart Connection communications to IB21, patient
safety monitoring and all system displays except UFC. It also
monitors UFC and Control for overall system status.
The Monitor controls the startup sequence by holding the
Controller and UFC in reset while the Monitor CPU goes
through its initialization routine and performs a lamp test.
After the CPU has completed its initialization checks, it
removes the reset from the Controller and UFC. They then also
go through their respective initialization routines and, once
completed, signal back to the Monitor that they are both
running. This whole sequence happens every time the 1550 is
turned on and takes approximately 14 seconds. After this
startup sequence is complete, the Monitor then powers up the
hydraulic components and the user will hear the pumps and
motors begin running.
The dip switch (SW3) on PC16 is for customizing the
operation of the 1550. The pins are used as follows.

In the electronic sense, PC16 Input/Output (I/O) is part of the
Monitor CPU system. The I/O is on a separate PC board due
only to physical space limitations. THE SCHEMATICS
FOR PC16 AND PC17 ARE 157-1238-994 AND 157-1238-
993 IN APPENDIX E.
3.1.3 Control CPU The primary function of the Control CPU (Figure 3-4) is to
(PC18) control the A/B and W/A Proportioners, the disinfect process,
fluid temperatures, and dialysate flowrate operations. It reports
its system status and any control problems directly to the
Monitor CPU. THE SCHEMATIC FOR THIS BOARD IS
157-1238-992 IN APPENDIX E.
3.1.4 UFC CPU (PC19) The primary function of the UFC CPU (Figure 3-5) is to
directly control fluid removal based on the desired treatment
parameters. It reports system status and any UFC problems
directly to the Monitor CPU. THE SCHEMATIC FOR
THIS BOARD IS 157-1238-991 IN APPENDIX E.
3.1.5 Heparin Pump The Heparin Pump (Figure 3-6) controls the infusion of anti-
(PC10A) coagulant (heparin) into the blood lines. Based on the
manufacturer of the syringe and the rate selected, the stepper
motor will move the syringe plunger to deliver the prescribed
amount of heparin. THE SCHEMATIC FOR PC10A IS
157-1238-988 IN APPENDIX E.
3.1.6 Blood Pump The primary function of the Blood Pump CPU (PC09) is to
(PC9B) read the speed control potentiometer (R14) and control the
Blood Pump Motor rotational speed to achieve the desired
flow. THE SCHEMATIC FOR PC9B IS 157-1235-986 IN
APPENDIX E.
3.1.7 Single Needle The purpose of the Single Needle Blood Pump CPU (PC08E)
Option (PC8E/PC9E) and I/O (PC09E) boards is to control the average blood
flowrate and control the arterial and venous phases. The
arterial and venous blood pumps are controlled to provide the
average blood flowrate read by the blood pump speed
potentiometer. The venous phase starts when the accumulator
bag fills (venous pressure rises exponentially to 80 mmHg).
The duration of the venous phase is controlled by the "turns
adjustment" to return the accumulated blood back to the
patient. THE SCHEMATIC FOR PC8E IS 157-1235-987
AND FOR PC9E IS 157-1235-983 IN APPENDIX E.
3.1.8 Pressure The Pressure Display board (IB07) displays data from the
Control/Display (IB06/07) Pressure Control board (IB06) and reads venous, arterial, and
dialysate pressures. It displays the pressures on meters and
trend indicators. If pressures exceed limits, it will produce an
alarm. REFERENCE SCHEMATICS 157-1237-974 AND
157-1237-959 FOR IB06 AND IB07 IN APPENDIX F.
3.2 SIDE PANEL The Side Panel is used to monitor and adjust dialysis settings
and 1550 functions. See Figure 3-10 for the location of the
following Side Panel features.

3.3 The Side Panel can be broken down into three areas when
TROUBLESHOOTING troubleshooting. They are the Cartridge, Display/Keypad, and
THE SIDE PANEL rotary switches.
3.3.1 Cartridge It is a good practice to leave a cartridge plugged into the 1550,
even while operating in the manual mode. Having a cartridge
plugged into the slot will offer some means of "splash"
protection. If the 1550 is working improperly with a cartridge,
first remove that cartridge and try another. If this doesn't work,
remove the cartridge and inspect the pins in the cartridge slot
for damage. The pins in the cartridge slot are soldered directly
to the motherboard (MB1), therefore there is no cabling to
troubleshoot.
3.3.2 Display/Keypad If at anytime the 4x4 keypad on the Side Panel does not
respond, yet the 16-digit display above the keypad is working,
check the blue ribbon cable coming from the membrane panel
that plugs into IB21 Connector 3. If the keypad and display
both are malfunctioning, check the large 40-pin connector
(IB21-01) coming from the motherboard. If this connector is
not fully seated it can cause irregular operation.
3.3.3 Rotary Knobs The three rotary knobs on the Side Panel are mounted directly
to the motherboard. They each have double banks that feed the
same information to the two processor boards PC17 and PC18.
These boards should always agree on the setting of these
switches. If they read different positions, the monitor will
create a fault alarm F509, F510, or F511. (See Appendix
A.2.1.) One way to check and see if both the Monitor (PC17)
and the Controller (PC18) agree with each other on all of the
three knob positions is to view their independently calculated
conductivity setpoints. These can be viewed on the 4-digit
displays on the CPU boards (rotary switch position D on
PC16/17 and position 3 on PC18). When any of the three
knobs are changed and accepted, these values will agree if the
rotary switches are working properly.
