Note – The amount of processed and failed dialyzer labels can be specified in the Administrators Mode of
the RENALOG
RM program.

5. If a "VOLUME FAIL" or "PRESSURE FAIL" message appears, press the "START PROCESS" switch
to perform the test again. The dialyzer may pass when retested by the RENATRON
Note – For older versions of the RENATRON station pushing "START PROCESS" after a "VOLUME FAIL"
alarm will cause the machine to return to Step 30 and to attempt to draw additional fluid from the blood
compartment for measurement. If additional fluid is obtained the total volume drawn may now be enough to
allow a dialyzer that was only a few ml below the minimum acceptable volume to pass the volume test. Multiple
attempts to draw additional fluid from the dialyzer have not proved to be effective at improving the likelihood
of passing the volume test.
Note - New versions of the RENATRON station, pressing "START PROCESS" after a "VOLUME FAIL" alarm
will cause the machine to return to Step 20 and perform a complete retest of the dialyzer volume.
6. Volume Fail - newer versions of the RENATRON station will only allow a dialyzer to be re-tested two times
after it initially fails the volume test during the reprocessing cycle.
If a "Volume fail" message appears, press the "START PROCESS" switch to repeat the test. After the initial
"volume fail" message appears, the test may only be repeated two more times. After the third "volume fail"
message appears, the "START PROCESS" switch will be deactivated and you must press the "RESET"
switch and fail the dialyzer.
7. If the dialyzer fails either the pressure test (Step 39) or the volume test, discontinue use of the dialyzer.
G. Removal of the dialyzer from the RENATRON II 100 Series station.
CAUTION – CAREFUL ASEPTIC TECHNIQUE MUST BE FOLLOWED WHILE REMOVING THE
REPROCESSED DIALYZER FROM THE RENATRON II 100 SERIES TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF
THE DIALYZER BLOOD PATHWAY.
CAUTION – DIALYZERS REPROCESSED WITH PROPORTIONED RENALIN
UNDERGO AN INTERNAL PRESSURE BUILDUP DURING STORAGE. THEREFORE, USE MEDIVATORS
DIALYSATE PORT CAPS ONLY.
1. Assure a supply of disinfected port caps. Disinfection of the dialysate port caps, blood port caps and the
reprocessing connectors from the dialyzer can be achieved by one of the following ways:
a. Place the caps and reprocessing connectors to be disinfected into fresh 1% RENALIN 100 Solution for a
minimum of 30 minutes.
b. Place the caps and reprocessing connectors to be disinfected in full strength ACTRIL
a minimum of 30 minutes.
CAUTION – MEDIVATORS DIALYSATE PORT CAPS, DIALYZER BLOOD PORT CAPS AND REPROCESSING
CONNECTORS ARE NOT AUTOCLAVABLE.
2. Wear protective clothing as indicated in the RENALIN 100 Cold Sterilant Directions for Use (PN 50090-679)
and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for RENALIN 100 Cold Sterilant.
Note – Remove the dialyzer from the RENATRON II 100 Series station ONLY when the "PROCESS COMPLETE"
message is displayed or when the dialyzer has failed the volume or pressure test. If the dialyzer has failed the
volume or pressure test, it must be either retested (press "START PROCESS" switch), or removed and discarded.
When the "PROCESS COMPLETE" message is displayed, automatic venting of any pressure buildup in the
dialyzer or machine will occur. Press "RESET" before removal of the dialyzer.
3. Disconnect the "ARTERIAL INLET" line from the reprocessing connector attached to the dialyzer
arterial blood port. Remove the reprocessing connector and place it in fresh 1% RENALIN 100 Solution
or full strength ACTRIL
4. Place a disinfected blood port cap on the dialyzer arterial blood port.
5. Disconnect the dialysate outlet of the dialyzer from the "DIALYSATE OUTLET/SANITIZE INTERLOCK"
connector on the RENATRON II 100 Series station.
6. Wipe the external surfaces of the dialyzer outlet port with gauze soaked in fresh 1% RENALIN 100 Solution
or full strength ACTRIL Cold Sterilant. Place a disinfected dialysate port cap on the dialysate outlet port
of the dialyzer.
7. Disconnect the "DIALYSATE INLET" line from the dialysate inlet port and temporarily clip it on the
holding bracket mounted on the side of the "DIALYSATE OUTLET/ SANITIZE INTERLOCK" post on the
RENATRON II 100 Series station.
8. Wipe the external surfaces of the dialysate inlet port with gauze soaked in fresh 1% RENALIN 100 Solution or
full strength ACTRIL Cold Sterilant. Place a disinfect dialysate port cap on the dialysate inlet port of the dialyzer.
Cold Sterilant for a minimum of thirty (30) minutes.
