Only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Fresenius Medical Care parts should be used in the repair or upgrade of the Fresenius Medical Care Dry Acid Dissolution Unit. Although, parts may look similar to parts in various vendor catalogs or brick and mortar stores the Dry Acid Dissolution Unit uses parts that have been specified and tested in accordance to ANSI/AAMI/ISO guidelines.
ANSI/AAMI RD61:2006 and Section 5.4 of ISO 13958:2009 Regulations. Proper training and demonstrated user competency must be completed and documented before a designated operator can be authorized to use the Fresenius Medical Care Dry Acid Dissolution Unit to make Fresenius Medical Care Dry Acid Concentrate.
Fresenius Medical Care Dry Acid Products. There are two (2) pre-programmed cycles built into the Fresenius Medical Care Dry Acid Dissolution Unit; the RINSE CYCLE and the DISSOLUTION CYCLE. The RINSE CYCLE has four operations- FILL, RECIRCULATE, DRAIN, and CYCLE COMPLETE.
The Fresenius Medical Care Dry Acid Dissolution Unit: 132 Gallons (500 Liters) is in compliance with the electrical requirements of ISO 13958:2009 (E) / IEC 60601-1 Failure to install the Dry Acid Dissolution Unit according to these guidelines may result in improper operation or early failure of the device or its components.
The Dry Acid Dissolution Unit is designed and built to comply with its product specifications. It is the intention of Fresenius Medical Care to pursue product development that may result in modifications or improvements to specifications or equipment produced in the future. Such product improvements shall not force similar changes and improvements to equipment produced prior to the changes.
