F-801 Internal RO System by GE Osmonics
12552e – 27 Feb 04 3 - 6 6 System Operation
3.2 Bicarbonate Container Filling
RO water may be dispensed from the product line of the F-801 Internal RO system for
use in filling bicarbonate jugs, drawing water samples, etc.
1.
With the dialysis machine OFF and the F-801 ON and all tests and checks
performed;
a.
Close the product valve on the product line.
b. Disconnect the product line from the dialysis machine inlet water line.
NOTE:
GE Osmonics recommends to cover the inlet water line with sterile gauze and
secure with tape. The inlet water line to the dialysis machine and the product line
from the RO unit when disconnected, should always be treated as aseptically as
possible. The inlet water line to the dialysis machine is not routinely disinfected,
and is a prime place for bacteria to proliferate.
c. Using aseptic technique, place the line over the bicarbonate container,
open the product valve and dispense as needed.
d. When finished dispensing, close the product valve, reconnect the product
line to the inlet water line of the dialysis machine and open the product
valve.
2. Continue with your normal set-up routine.
3.3 Shut Down Procedure
The following procedure, when performed in sequence, will significantly decrease the
water pressure built-up in the RO system and prevent splashing.
1.
Turn OFF the dialysis machine.
2. Turn OFF the F-801 RO unit.
3. Turn OFF the inlet water supply, wait one minute.
4. Disconnect the feed water line from the water source.
5. Remove the drain line from the drain.
6. Disconnect from the utilities and store the RO.
NOTE:
If the F-801 RO is to be stored for more than 24 hours (RO not being operated),
the RO should be stored in an approved disinfectant or storage solution (Not
‘RENALIN®’ or other type oxidizing products). Refer to the disinfection or
storage procedure in this manual.
