EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Fresenius dialysis 500X series

Excuse my total ignorance of some of the issues surrounding these devices. I have been looking at getting "rid" of a number of these machines but my staff tell me that maybe patient/repair staff details are retained in these machines.

Does anybody know if this is just the usual key-press information that the units may retain for error and problem solving proposes or do these units actually retain
a. repair staff details - who logged into the unit to carry out work ?
b. patient treatment details along with patient details?

If these units for retain such information what is the best way of erasing these details.

Also I have been informed that some sort of manufacturers "black box" memory may also retained on the unit.

I have been told, and I will be verifying this with the company, that Fresenius will charge for the privilege of them doing this - clearing the units of saved data.
