F-801 Internal RO System by GE Osmonics

3.1Daily Start-up

WARNING:

Verification of the absence of all sanitizers, cleaners, disinfectants and chlorine/chloramines must be performed before RO product water is used for any patient related uses.

WARNING:

Use of exhausted carbon in the presence of chlorine/chloramines will result in damage to the F-801 RO membrane and may cause serious patient injury.

CAUTION:

When moving the F-801 assembly, push only on the handle and in the direction of travel. The only exception to this should be when loading into elevators or going across thresholds when the gap is greater than 1” or the threshold is uneven. The F-801 should be pulled over these to prevent the machine from tipping over or causing damage to the casters.

CAUTION:

Do not push unit sideways as this may cause the unit to tip over. If it is necessary (such as in tight patient areas), use extreme caution and do not push it in a direction where it could fall onto someone.

CAUTION:

Do not try to catch the equipment if it starts to fall over. If moving up or down a ramp, get help if unable to handle the load.

NOTE:

Obtain a copy of the F-801 Operation Log Sheet (see Technote section of system manual). All the start-up data for the RO may be recorded on this log sheet.

1.Connect the RO unit to the required utilities (feed water, drain, and power).

2.Ensure that all the valves in the water supply line to the RO are open.

3.Ensure that all pre-RO devices have been flushed and tested and are operating within their specifications.

4.Ensure that the product line is connected to the inlet water supply line of the dialysis machine. Open the product valve located on the end of the product line. If the product valve is closed, no product water will be delivered to the dialysis machine.

5.Turn on the water supply.
