4. Close the product valve on the F-801, and disconnect the product line from the
inlet water line of the dialysis machine. Tape a sterile gauze around the opening
of the inlet water line to the dialysis machine.
5. Hold the product line over the container and run product water for 60 seconds.
6. Aseptically remove the lid from the sample bottle and rinse the bottle twice with
RO product water.
7. Fill the bottle completely with RO product water and cap it immediately.
8. Fill out the laboratory requisition form. Ensure the requisition form has, at a
minimum, information to identify the facility or location of the RO, the serial
number or facility equipment number to ensure which RO was tested and name,
phone number and address of whom to contact.
9. Place the bottle and the completed requisition in the pre-addressed mailer and
mail it directly to the laboratory.
NOTE:
Total chlorine must be measured on-site. Tests for Chlorine/Chloramine (total
chlorine) are not typically reported on the AAMI Analysis. Chlorine and
chloramine dissipate from the water sample over time and reported results will be
inaccurate.
