Instruction Manual
The following procedures will help maintain peak performance of the RENATRON
®
II 100 Series Dialyzer Reprocessing
Station. If at any time during this process you have a question or concern, please contact MEDIVATORS Renal
Technical Support for additional information.
A.
Exterior Inspection
- the RENATRON II 100 Series Station should be inspected periodically for any defects
such as the following:
1. Bent or broken switches
2. Cracks in cover
3. Corroded metal parts
4. Loose or missing hardware
5. Cut or frayed hoses or electrical cords
6. Cracks in the Front Mask
7. Protein deposits in the tubing. If necessary, see the Formula 409 Service Cleaning Procedure below.
CAUTION
- USE OF A RENATRON II 100 SERIES STATION ON WHICH ONE OR MORE OF THE ABOVE
CONDITIONS EXIST SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED UNTIL THE DEFECT IS CORRECTED AND THE SYSTEM
OPERATION IS VERIFIED.
CAUTION
- CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID EXCESS MOISTURE WHICH COULD FLOW INTO THE
RENATRON II 100 SERIES CASE ASSEMBLY. BLOOD MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE
RENATRON II 100 SERIES STATION WITH FRESH 1% RENALIN
®
100 SOLUTION OR FULL STRENGTH
ACTRIL SOLUTION. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER CLEANERS, AS THEY MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH
THE MATERIALS IN THE MACHINE.
B.
Cleaning.
The exterior of the RENATRON II 100 Series Station should be cleaned as often as operating conditions
require.
CAUTION
- ANY LIQUID SPILLED ON THE MACHINE EXTERNAL SURFACES SHOULD BE WIPED OFF
IMMEDIATELY TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF MOISTURE ENTERING THE MAIN CASE ASSEMBLY. IF
SUCH A CONDITION WERE TO EXIST, IT COULD CREATE AN ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVE PATH WHICH
COULD RESULT IN INSTRUMENT FAILURE. NO LIQUID(S) SHOULD BE USED NEAR THE COMPUTER,
KEYBOARD AND MONITOR.
CAUTION
- DO NOT USE CHEMICAL CLEANING AGENTS THAT COULD DAMAGE THE PLASTICS USED
IN THIS MACHINE, AVOID CHEMICALS WHICH CONTAIN ALCOHOL, BENZENE, TOLUENE, XYLENE,
ACETONE OR OTHER AROMATIC OR KETONE SOLVENTS.
DO NOT USE BLEACH.
C. Formula 409
®
Service Cleaning Procedure
The internal fluid pathways must be cleaned periodically (typically once every two weeks or as required) as outlined
below:
RENATRON II 100 Series machines experience deposits which gradually build up inside the blood lines with continued
machine use. The amount of build up is proportional to the extent of machine use, the number of dialyzers reprocessed,
and such factors as heparin regime and rinseback method. This build up is a waxy, denatured substance with a slight
yellow tint. If the build up is allowed to continue, the machine may give erroneous blood volume readings (low) and
may stop operating altogether. Before this substance becomes visually evident in the blood lines, the procedure outlined
below should be performed to remove the deposits.
CAUTION
- THIS PROCEDURE CALLS FOR THE USE OF 409 HEAVY DUTY DEGREASER. THIS LIQUID
CHEMICAL IS AN EYE IRRITANT. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES OR SKIN. REFER TO LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CAUTIONS AND REMEDY. DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS IN THIS PROCEDURE.
409 Heavy Duty Degreaser (Formula 409) will not react with trace levels of RENALIN 100 Cold Sterilant. To ensure
Formula 409 contact with RENALIN 100 solution is minimized and to ensure Formula 409 is rinsed completely from
the RENATRON II 100 Series station, this procedure should be performed, in the order listed below:
Formula 409 Service Cleaning Program for RENATRON Station - Model RS-8335
1. For Use Formula 409 Service Clean Cycle - The RENATRON station will draw approximately five times as
much Formula 409 using the Formula 409 cycle as it does when using the traditional "00" cycle. When you
are drawing either treated water or Formula 409 into the RENATRON II 100 Series station, complete the steps
listed below. It is not necessary to use the steps listed below when drawing RENALIN 100 Cold Sterilant into
the RENATRON II 100 Series Station.
2. Remove the uptake tube from the RENALIN 100 container and make sure excess RENALIN 100 drains back
into the container. Cover the open RENALIN 100 container.
