    Baxter ag is issuing a voluntary urgent device correction for ak 98 dialysis machines due to two software issues. : i. the machine could become stuck in a fluid by-pass state if the operator confirms the air detector alarm during priming. in a fluid bypass state, the fluid path bypasses the dialyzer and no ultrafiltration (uf) or diffusion occurs, leading to an absence of treatment. ii. the ultrafiltration supervision (ufs) may be put in an idle (non-functional) state, if the functional check of the blood module is delayed and is completed after the functional check of the fluid module.
