Hospal Innova
Hospal · Model Innova
Innova is a single pump haemodialysis monitor, featuring the latest developments in dialysis. Innova is a single pump haemodialysis monitor, featuring the latest developments in dialysis with a Diascan monitoring system and a cartridge bloodline. The user interface is based on a large color touch-screen that offers complete simplicity and ease of use. The Innova monitor is designed to offer high quality haemodialysis treatment with bicarbonate dialysis and ultrafilter for clean dialysis fluid. It features a safe and efficient blood module for double needle or single needle mode with single pump. Innova is the Hospal branded version of the Phoenix machine designed for the replacement of the Cobe CS3. Innova is a machine for hemodialysis offering the best compromise between quality and productivity. It's a single pump machine therefore with some limitations in therapies but with a list of equipment and options compatible with actual and future requirements for quality in dialysis. Innova is coming from the merging of successful features of two existing machines: the Integra hydraulics and CS3 blood module. The user interface is designed around a color touch screen and was developed with strong requirements of simplicity and clarity. This machine is intended to replace on the market the Cobe CS3 in 2002 and the Integra Alpha during 2003. Innova is a machine intended for standard hemodialysis treatment compared to Integra intended for advanced therapies.
Key tips
- ·Conductivity and water-quality checks are non-negotiable before every shift - dialysate chemistry errors are a direct patient-harm mechanism.
- ·Confirm disinfection cycle completion, never assume it, after every use.
- ·Treat a blood-leak detector fault as real until proven otherwise - never silence and continue.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Conductivity / temperature / dialysate-prep alarm
HighSymptoms: Conductivity or temperature out of range, dialysate-preparation alarm, treatment will not start.
Root cause: Concentrate connection / supply, a heater fault, a conductivity-cell fault, or a proportioning-pump / valve fault.
Blood or dialysate pump fault
MediumSymptoms: Pump will not run at set speed, occlusion or flow alarms, tubing walking in the raceway.
Root cause: Worn pump rotor / rollers or a motor / control fault.
Pressure-monitoring / air-detector fault
MediumSymptoms: Venous / arterial / TMP pressure implausible, air-detector false alarms or fails to detect.
Root cause: Transducer-protector wetting, a pressure-sensor fault, or an air-detector fault.
UF / balancing-chamber fault
MediumSymptoms: Fluid-balance / UF alarms, weight loss inaccurate, balancing-chamber leak.
Root cause: Balancing-chamber diaphragm / valve wear or a flow-sensor fault.
Disinfection / rinse fault
MediumSymptoms: Heat or chemical disinfection will not complete, residual disinfectant test fails.
Root cause: Heater, a dosing / rinse valve, or a conductivity-verification fault.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Conductivity or temperature alarm
- Confirm the concentrate is connected, correct and not empty.
- Verify dialysate conductivity and temperature with independent calibrated meters.
- Check / calibrate the conductivity cell and temperature sensor.
- Inspect the proportioning pumps / valves and de-air the hydraulics.
- Do not treat until conductivity and temperature are verified in range.
Symptom: Pump or pressure fault
- Inspect the pump rotor and rollers for wear and correct occlusion.
- Reseat the tubing segment in the raceway.
- Check the pressure transducers and protectors for wetting.
- Calibrate the pressure channels.
- Replace the rotor / rollers or a faulty sensor as isolated.
