Results: the two blood leak alarms did alarm at 15 seconds after blood detector /monitor (bd/bdm) went below the threshold of 800 which is functioning as intended.Outset mechanical engineer did notice that right after calibration when dbc=0 and before flow balancing, bd/bdm value drops significantly and in fact below 800 but not long enough to meet the 15 second alarm excursion time.During flow balancing bd/bdm recover as expected, but then immediately after bd/bdm drop again triggering the blood leak alarm at that time.This happens for both cartridges which may be an indication both dialyzers were bad; however, this was not able to be confirmed.Conclusion: evaluation of the returned blood detector (bld) sensor revealed that the sensor appears to be operating correctly after internal testing.It triggered blood leak alarm nine times at 0.45 ml/min (25% hematocrit).14-16 second excursion time (logging rate).Thresholds/bd values look as expected.Gain: 0 led: 370, 435 (power cycle).
