NaCl conversion factor.
• DO NOT change the calibration solution type unless specifically
directed to do so by a member of the technical staff of your facility.
NOTE: Check display to see if solution displayed (KCl, NaCl or 442) is
already the type desired. If not:
1. Press , or to select the parameter whose
solution type you wish to change.
2. Press and hold key
for 3 seconds to make
“SEL” appear (see Figure
3). For demonstration
purposes, all 3 solution
types are shown
simultaneously.
3. Use the or key to select type of solution desired
The selected solution type will be displayed: KCl, NaCl or 442.
4. Press to accept new solution type.
X. CALIBrATION
A. Proper Handling of Reference Solutions
ALWAYS perform calibrations and calibration checks with standard
reference solutions that are NIST traceable.
• Myron L Company reference solutions are highly recommended
and are the same solutions used in the manufacture and factory
calibration of your Digital Dialysate Meter™.
To ensure standard solution and calibration/verification accuracy
• Store solutions in a cool, dark place.
• Preferred storage temperature is 25°C/77°F, the ideal calibration
temperature.
• Keep solutions tightly capped to avoid evaporation.
• When using a solution, pour it directly from the bottle.
• If using a syringe or pipette, pour the solution into another
container and fill the syringe or pipette from there.
• DO NOT use the pipette or syringe to draw solution directly from
the bottle.
• Use the solution immediately after dispensing to prevent changes in
concentration due to evaporation.
• Recap the bottle immediately after dispensing.
• Keep the bottle capped when not in use.
