Instruction Manual
A.
The storage area should be a well-ventilated, cool area that is out of direct sunlight.
B.
Reprocessed dialyzers should not be exposed to freezing temperature or sources of heat. The recommended
temperature range is 59˚F (15˚C) to 75˚F (24˚C).
WARNING
MINIMUM STORAGE TIME FOR REPROCESSED DIALYZERS IS 11 HOURS
CAUTION
– AFTER STORAGE AND BEFORE THE REPROCESSED DIALYZER IS RINSED AND
CLINICALLY USED, A SAMPLE OF FLUID SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE DIALYZER AND TESTED
FOR THE PRESENCE OF RENALIN
®
100 SOLUTION USING PERASSAY 500
®
PERACETIC ACID INDICATOR
STRIPS (PN 78378-000). REFER TO THE RENALIN 100 PRESENCE TEST PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN
THE RENALIN 100 COLD STERILANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (PN 50090-679) AND THE TEST STRIP
LABELING.
WARNING
A HOLLOW FIBER DIALYZER THAT IS REPROCESSED AND DISINFECTED BY
THIS MACHINE IS FILLED WITH PROPORTIONED RENALIN 100 SOLUTION.
THE PROPORTIONED RENALIN 100 SOLUTION MUST BE ADEQUATELY AND
THOROUGHLY RINSED OUT OF THE DIALYZER PRIOR TO CLINICAL USE. USE
THE RENALIN RESIDUAL TEST KIT (PN 78198-000) TO VERIFY RESIDUAL RINSE
OUT AS OUTLINED IN THE RENALIN 100 COLD STERILANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE (PN 50090-679).
C
AUTION
– EXPOSING DIALYZERS TO CYCLIC TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES DURING ANY PART
OF THE REUSE PROCEDURE MAY RESULT IN INCREASING OR INITIATING PRESSURE BUILDUP IN
THE DIALYZER DURING STORAGE. IN THESE CONDITIONS, A VENTABLE DIALYZER DIALYSATE
PORT CAP SHOULD BE USED. A VENTABLE DIALYZER DIALYSATE PORT CAP IS AVAILABLE FROM
MEDIVATORS (PN 78208-000). READ THE PORT CAPS LABELING BEFORE USE.
Each day, before reprocessing dialyzers, ensure that the Calibrated Volume Cell is installed between the arterial and
venous lines. Before checking calibration, make sure machine is level and if machine is not level, retest measurement
of Volume Cell
after
leveling machine. Push
"ON"
switch, select Program mode "00" then push and hold
"SET"
and put in 67. Push
"START PROCESS"
and operate until volume is displayed in Step 35. Compare this value to
value etched on Volume Cell. These values should agree within ± 3 ml. If these values do not agree within ± 3 ml,
check the RENATRON II 100 Series system calibration as outlined below.
Alternatively, use the Automatic Calibration feature on RENALOG RM. See the RENALOG RM User Guide (PN
50090-859).
Note – If the RENATRON II 100 Series station continues to fail the calibration verification day after day, contact
MEDIVATORS Technical Support for assistance.
