    The physician in charge of dialysis has the ultimate responsibility for selecting the maximum allowable levels of chemical contaminants in the water, and, also, is responsible for monitoring the water. The AmeriWater MRO System is designed to produce water that meets or exceeds ANSI/AAMI RD62 requirements.

    SECTION 4, MRO STARTUP & OPERATION CAUTION NOTE: This entire Operations Manual should be read before operating or servicing the MRO system. The Operations Manual should then be kept near the system and used as a reference and troubleshooting guide. WARNING: This Reverse Osmosis System (RO) contains a preservative solution to prevent microbiological growth and freezing.
  • Page 17 verify that it is within the specified range (pH Water/Bicarbonate/Dialysate Test Strips P/N 97PH20901). CAUTION: Mixing chlorine and hydrogen peroxide/peroxyacetic acid causes a toxic chemical reaction. Never allow them to mix! Do not use chlorine to disinfect the system! 8. Use only the exact amount of hydrogen peroxide/peroxyacetic acid disinfectant solution (PAA) and in proper dilution during disinfection of the system.

    4. An audible alarm sounds whenever water quality drops to an unacceptable level. WARNING: The AmeriWater model MRO 2X through 5X is considered a non-portable device. It can be connected to a Direct Feed Loop system or a Storage Tank system.
  • Page 19: Initial Startup

    INITIAL STARTUP WARNING: This Reverse Osmosis System (RO) contains a preservative solution to prevent microbiological growth and freezing. Discard all product water for at least two hours of operation before placing the RO in service. 1. Lock the two front casters so that the RO+ will remain stationary during startup. 2.

  • Page 21: System Shutdown

    SYSTEM SHUTDOWN Ordinarily, an MRO2-5X is connected to a water use system that is used continually or very frequently. Therefore, frequent shutting down is not necessary. Most usually, the MRO is connected to a Direct Feed Loop or Storage Tank of a Central System. If so, the MRO should be cycled using the “Membrane Flush”...
  • Page 22: Section 5, Disinfecting The System

    As a general guideline, AmeriWater recommends that the system should be disinfected at least monthly. In addition, AmeriWater recommends that the system be disinfected if it has not been: used for 24 hours; flushed at least every 8 hours; or “packed” in BioTrol for storage up to two weeks.
  • Page 23 To disinfect the MRO AND “small” direct-feed water loop, allow the PRODUCT WATER hose to remain connected to the “small” loop during the disinfection procedure, but be sure all dialysis machines are disconnected during the disinfection procedure. Unscrew the cap assembly of the PAA container (plastic 2 ½ gallon container). Put on rubber gloves, apron, and goggles.
  • Page 24 14b. If disinfecting the MRO while connected to a small direct-feed loop: Draw a complete PAA container into the MRO (with the REJECT flow amount adjusted as needed described in step 12). Release the ENTER key, then refill the PAA container, reconnect the PAA container to the MRO, press &...
  • Page 25 PRODUCT WATER hose connection. After each container of PAA solution is drawn into the MRO, then the MRO must be stopped without delay, and each water outlet must be tested for PAA at the minimum amount. Continuing to run the MRO after all the PAA solution is drawn out of the PAA container will only result with diluting the strength of the PAA, which reduces the disinfecting capability.
  • Page 26 (no color change) to ensure that there are NO traces of PAA disinfecting solution remaining in the entire water system. AmeriWater recommends using Renal Check PX Test Strips (P/N 97PX20501) Record the Stop time on the Startup Log to have a record of how long it takes for the disinfecting solution to completely rinse out.
  • Page 27: Disinfecting An Mro And "Large" Loop System

    This is good for cleaning, but great care must be exercised for disinfection. To clean an MRO an AmeriWater CIP2 cleaning system is required to be connected to the MRO.
  • Page 28: A Word About Hydrogen Peroxide/Peroxyacetic Acid

    A WORD ABOUT HYDROGEN PEROXIDE/PEROXYACETIC ACID Do not use hydrogen peroxide/peroxyacetic acid concentrate (PAA) after the expiration date. Using outdated PAA may cause incomplete disinfection. PAA loses effectiveness if not kept out of direct sunlight and/or the cap is not tightly sealed. Using ineffective disinfecting solution will cause incomplete disinfection.

  • Page 31: Controller Operation

    CONTROLLER OPERATION GENERAL OPERATION The unit has 2 modes of operation, a standby mode and an operating mode that are controlled by the POWER key. In the standby mode, the unit is effectively off. All outputs are turned off and the display shows STANDBY. In the operating mode, the unit operates automatically. All inputs are monitored and the outputs are controlled accordingly.
  • Page 32 CONDUCTIVITY The Conductivity is shown on the top line after the unit operating status. When the unit is in STANDBY, because of a shut down condition, the reading is replaced with ‘----’. If the reading is over range, the reading is shown as ‘^^^^’ when in the OPERATE mode. OPERATING HOURS The current operating hours are shown on the bottom line.
  • Page 33 TANK FULL OVERRIDE A timed tank full override can be initiated when the MRO unit is shut down due to a tank full condition. Pressing the Alarm Silence/Reset key for 3 seconds during a tank full condition will enable the tank full override. The RO will start and TF OVERRIDE 9 will show on the display. The number is the minutes remaining in the override timer.
  • Page 34: Controller Adjustments

    It may be necessary to periodically calibrate the Conductivity. If the controller should require calibration, follow the instructions below. Please contact AmeriWater at 800/535-5585 or 937/461-8833 if you have any questions regarding the procedure.

    WARNING: Maintenance shall be performed by qualified personnel only. MAINTAINING THE SYSTEM 1. AmeriWater has provided a Startup Log for the MRO system. This must be filled out completely each time the system is used. The recorded information may be useful in troubleshooting problems encountered with the MRO.
  • Page 42: Pt401 Anti-Scalant

    PT401 ANTI-SCALANT Smaller AmeriWater MRO products have the PT401 antiscalant system equipped as an option. The larger units, MRO2-5X4 ordinarily have a complete water pre-treatment system (backwashing particulate filter, backwashing carbon filter, and water softener) installed ahead of the MRO. This eliminates the need for the PT401 anti-scalant system within the MRO, and is not a point of discussion in this manual.
