As part of the Conditions for Coverage, it is the Medical Director’s responsibility that the Operators of the Fresenius Medical Care Dry Acid Dissolution Unit must be trained in its operation and thoroughly familiar with the contents of this manual. Operators must be proficient and able to distinguish between normal and abnormal operation.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important. Always read and abide by all safety messages. The Fresenius Medical Care 99 Gallon Dry Acid Dissolution Unit is designed and manufactured in accordance to the requirements of Systems for Mixing Concentrate at a Dialysis Facility listed in Section 5.3 of the ANSI/AAMI RD61:2006 and Section 5.4 of ISO 13958:2009 Regulations.
Fresenius USA, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. The Fresenius Medical Care Dry Acid Dissolution Unit is automated and is designed to mix a 99 Gallon (375 LITERS) batch of dialysate concentrate with a minimum of operator supervision, and is to be only used for the mixing of Fresenius Medical Care Dry Acid Products.
The Fresenius Medical Care Dry Acid Dissolution Unit: 99 Gallons (375 Liters) is in compliance with the electrical requirements of ISO 13958:2009 (E) / IEC 60601-1.
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.
