Electrical Code. DO NOT under any circumstances remove the ground wire or ground
prong from any power plug. DO NOT use an extension cord with this equipment.
Keep the surface under the RO(s) free of liquids. Fix any leaks from the hemodialysis
unit promptly.

1.3 Applications
The F-801 Internal Reverse Osmosis (RO) System is designed to purify water by
forcing water through a semi-permeable RO membrane. Water purified by reverse
osmosis has had approximately 95% of the dissolved ions and approximately 99% of
most other contaminants removed. The quality of the purified water, referred to as
product water or permeate, depends on the quality of the feed water and normally is
equal to or exceeds AAMI standards. Such water is suitable for hemodialysis
applications.
1.4 Contraindications
