After installation, the ExtraPure RO System must be sanitized and rinsed before using it to supply water for dialysis. Do not operate the ExtraPure RO System with the water quality needle in the red zone. With a regular dialysis regimen, sanitize the ExtraPure RO System at least once a week, or as your physician recommends.
Operation Overview As illustrated in Figure 1 on page 2, the ExtraPure RO system uses an incoming water filter, a heat exchanger, a reverse osmosis membrane, and two recirculating water loops.
Water Quality Chart Move the selector switch and read the water quality meter. Find the chart column closest to the actual meter reading and read down for the conductivity in microsiemens (µS/cm) and approximate total dissolved solids (TDS) in parts per million (ppm) or for percent rejection.
WARNING: Never operate the ExtraPure RO System with the needle in the red zone. The three-position selector switch allows the meter to display the water quality of either the recirculating water or the product water. Consult the water quality chart to determine conductivity in microsiemens (µS/cm) and total dissolved solids in parts per...
Flow Diagram Component Identification Component Purpose Solenoid valve Opens to allow water to enter the RO. Closes when the unit is turned off. It ensures that the disinfectant used in disinfecting the unit remains inside the instrument until it is turned on again. Water pressure Located before and after the water filter.
Installing The ExtraPure RO System's hoses are shipped with caps on them. Remove these caps before connecting the hoses. 1. Connect the input hose to the water supply. The connection is a 3/4" female garden hose connection. Use rubber washers on all connections.
ON/OFF switch on the control panel. Look for water flowing through the drain line and sanitize hose. 3. Run the ExtraPure RO System for 15 minutes to rinse the fluid path. After 15 minutes, turn off the unit to install the filter in its blue housing.

5. Lower the rinse lever. After a few minutes, water quality should be normal and the water quality meter on the control panel should read in the green zone (above 90% rejection). 6. Use the three-position selector switch Product ____________ on the control panel to determine the % Rejection _________ values of the product and the...
ExtraPure RO System to the dialysis machine. 2. Turn on the water and turn on the ExtraPure RO System. 3. Note the filter pressure readings at the beginning of use. The difference between filter/inlet pressure and filter/outlet pressure should always be less than 10 psi with no water pressure alarm.
7. Turn on the water supply and plug in the ExtraPure RO System. Run the unit for 15 minutes with the rinse lever on the control panel in the rinse position. After rinsing,...
(If storage time will be more than three days, remove filter and housing, and allow to air-dry. 5. Turn off the ExtraPure RO System and turn off the feed water. Let the RO unit stand with the Formalin™ disinfectant in it until rinsing, according to your dialysis regimen and your clinic's recommendation.
WARNING: Store all Disinfectants out of reach of children. 1. With the unit off, disconnect the water line connecting the ExtraPure RO System to the dialysis machine. In its place, connect the sanitize hose. Collect at least 50 cc of product water from the sanitizing hose.

4. Turn off the ExtraPure RO System and turn off the feed water. Let the RO unit stand idle until rinsing, according to your clinic’s recommendation. The disinfectant must dwell in the system for two hours. Notice: Damage to the system may result if the dwell time is longer than two hours and the membrane is fouled by one of the following conditions: 1.
Rinsing WARNING: After sanitizing, you must rinse the ExtraPure RO System before using it to supply dialysis water. 1. Turn on the feed water. • Lift the rinse lever on the control panel to the RINSE position. • Turn on the ExtraPure RO System.
If leaks cannot be corrected, call Baxter Instrument Services 1-800-553-6898. External Cleaning Clean the outside of the ExtraPure RO System cabinet with a solution of water and a mild detergent. If additional cleaning is needed, use a solution of half water and half household bleach.

5. Using a flat blade screwdriver, remove the top snap-ring holding the top cap in place. Slowly pull the cap out of the top of the vessel using a rocking motion. 6. Remove the bottom snap-ring and end cap as in previous step. (This step is not necessary if you are able to remove the membrane through the top without difficulty.) 7.
