operating instructions
User’s Manual for Model D -1
this manual describes your Myron L D-1 meter, tells
you how to use it, and how to keep it working accurately
for many years.
Your Model D-1 single range Dialysate Meter™ is a
compact instrument which operates on the principle of
electrical conductivity. it will quickly determine if dialy-
sate concentrations are correct. its dial provides an
expanded 11-15 millimhos (millisiemens) scale for ac-
curate readings.
a unique feature of Model D-1 is the green color band
above the dial. this provides an immediate visual con-
firmation of whether or not the dialysate concentration
is within the patient’s “safe zone”. the color band is
adjustable and can be pre-set by the doctor or techni-
cian for each patient. adjustment is made by turning
the screw on the face of the meter. this screw may be
covered with tape or a label to avoid tampering.
the D-1 is 3.4” x 4.5” x 4.0” (85 x 129 x 126mm) and
weighs less than one pound (0.45kg). D-1 meters are
completely self-contained. the built-in cell is automat-
ically temperature compensated from 60º to 110ºF
(16º to 43ºc). they are powered by two 9 volt batteries
good for a least 2000 tests, or one year shelf life. a light
bulb, which glows when the black button is pushed,
serves as a battery reserve indicator.
