10. Let the RO run for an additional 15 minutes or until the percent rejection and
TDS values have stabilized.
WARNING:
Ensure that TDS and membrane performance (% rejection) are normal for the
regions water quality. Consult your facility physician. An AAMI analysis and
bacteria test of the product water must be obtained and interpreted before using the
RO unit for hemodialysis treatment (refer to the Product Water Analysis procedure
and the Product Water Culture Procedure).
11. Set the product water TDS alarm limit switch as prescribed by the physician. The
switch is normally set to twice the initial TDS reading (or “next higher” setting) at
start-up.
WARNING:
The TDS alarm limit should not be moved from this setting unless instructed by a
physician.
12. After a minimum of 3 hours run time, disinfect and rinse the RO unit with an
approved disinfectant before using for hemodialysis treatment (refer to the
Formaldehyde and ‘RENALIN®’-type disinfection procedures in chapter four).
CAUTION:
New RO units with thin film membranes must be rinsed to drain with normal
pressures for a minimum of three (3) hours before exposure to disinfectants.
WARNING:
After disinfection, the product water must be verified free of residual disinfectant.
13. The RO product may be used in conjunction with hemodialysis treatment
equipment only after obtaining test results which validate compliance with
excepted standards.
