Maintenance
batteRy check:
Model D-1 has a battery indicator glow light visible
through the small hole on the lower right-hand corner
of the meter face plate. if this light fails to glow when the
black button is pressed, replace both batteries.
batteRy ReplaceMent:
Detach the battery connectors. pull on the plastic
straps to remove the batteries. replace with fresh zinc
carbon or alkaline 9 volt batteries. reinsert the plastic
straps to secure batteries. replace the bottom cover.
cell cup:
self-conditioning of the built-in electrodes occurs
each time the button is pressed with a sample in the cell
cup. this ensures consistent results each time. With
some samples a small downward swing of the pointer is
a result of this conditioning action. this action is pow-
erful and removes normal films of oil and dirt. However,
if samples are allowed to dry in the cell cup, a film will
build up. This film reduces accuracy. When there are
visible films of oil, dirt, or scale in the cell cup or on the
electrode, scrub them lightly with a small brush and
household cleanser. thoroughly rinse out the cleanser,
and the meter is ready for accurate measurements.
SolutionS inSiDe the MeteR
Your Dialysate Meter is a rugged instrument and will
withstand dialysate exposure around its cell, meter
movement, and switches. However, care should be
taken to keep solutions from leaking in around the
bottom cover. it is not sealed (to prevent condensation
from forming).
Large amounts of calibration solution or dialysate will
almost certainly damage the meter movement or
electronics. such meters should be returned to the
Myron L company for repair.
if there are only a few drops inside the meter, dry it as
follows:
1. shake excess solution out of the inside of the meter.
2. Dab the exposed surfaces dry with an absorbent
cloth or tissue. avoid pushing any liquid into the
calibration control or push button switch.
3. air dry the meter in a warm area with the bottom
cover off. allow several hours for thorough drying.
if the dialysate entered through a leak in the case or
cell, or if the instrument shows erratic readings or other
unusual behavior, return it to the Myron L company for
service.
SeRvice
if your D-1 meter fails to operate properly:
1. check the glow light to make sure the batteries are
good.
2. check the cell cup and electrodes to ensure they are
clean. any contamination could alter the reading. see
Maintenance.
any service required other than battery replacement,
cleaning, or calibration must be referred to the Myron L
company. When returning an instrument, please pack
it securely and enclose a note specifying the problem.
the plunger should be included, but Do not ship with
plunger in cell (damage could result).
