Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution state. This treatment process, referred to herein for convenience as production, is the designated application of this certified medical device. The ECOMix Revolution production system may only be used for the production of acidic dialysis concentrates using the original ECOCart Revolution or ECOCart ToGo supplied by Intermedt (herein only referred to as ECOCart).
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution Adverse Effects Hemodialysis can cause side effects such as hypotension, nausea, vomiting and cramping. • The choice of an ECOCart and thus the selection of a suitable acidic dialysis concentrate is the responsibility of the physician. Duration of treatment, frequency of treatment and dosage must be determined by the attending physician.
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution 1.9 Calibration Calibration of the ECOMix Revolution system must exclusively be performed by technicians au- thorized by Intermedt. Calibration or the check of the calibration is done during installation and maintenance and is described in the corresponding manuals. The calibration data is password pro- tected and is not accessible to normal users.
2 System Description The ECOMix Revolution production system is designed for producing sodium chloride based con- centrate, called concentrate in the following sections. The ECOMix Revolution production system consists of two functional modules: 1. Microprocessor-controlled mixing system 2. Salt cartridge (ECOCart) on rollable base/mini pallet The production system may also include optional tanks (ECOTanks) for storing the concentrates produced.
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution 2.1 Description of Components Microprocessor-controlled mixing system ECOMix Revolution: Integrated pump for mixing and transferring the produced concentrate • Sensor system to protect against dry runs and overload • Mixing tank capacity: up to 800 l of concentrate •...
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution 2.2 Optional components ECOTanks to store the produced concentrates • Master module for the administration and monitoring of up to 4 ECOTanks • ECOTankmodule Rev for the administration and monitoring of up to 8 ECOTanks • Sewage pump for elevated drainage connections •...
3 Safety 3.1 Overall Hazards Assessment When the system is used as intended, there are no hazards. The ECOMix Revolution can start and stop automatically with no user intervention (fully automatic production). 3.2 Chemicals Used Acetic acid and citrate acid are used for the production of acidic dialysis concentrate. Warning Acetic acid can produce noxious fumes.
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution Inform technical support in case of obvious technical defects or external damage and do not put the device into operation. Call the Service-Hotline: see chapter 11 3.4 Protection from electrical hazards Work on electrical components should be performed only by experts. Always keep the cabinet closed.
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution 3.8 Safe handling of ECOCarts When fully loaded, ECOCarts weigh more than 200 kg. Therefore, the following instructions must be observed: Do not roll filled ECOCarts over slopes or uneven terrain; if this is necessary, however, take •...
4 Operation and Functionality of the ECOMix Revolution 4.1 Main menu The ECOMix Revolution production system is operated through a touch display. The displayed menu and further choices depend on the current status of the machine. Main menu of the ECOMix Revolution Figure 4.1: In the main menu the user can see the fluid levels of the connected ECOTanks.
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution 3. Take off the caps of the couplings on top of the ECOCart 4. With both hoses consecutively: Disconnect the hose from the rinsing bridge, pull the hose to the ECOCart, remove the seal and immediately place the hose in its place; lock the coupling by turning it clockwise for an turn (without using pressure from above).
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution If an ECOCart is disconnected without producing it, it should be la- Caution belled with a note, when and why it was opened and why it was not produced. Couplings must be firmly connected to avoid contamination and the ECOCart must be produced as soon as possible.
Page 22
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution Warning During mixing and emptying the ECOCart must not be disconnected from the ECOMix. The ECOMix Revolution does monitor the connec- tion but for technical reasons it might take several seconds until the pump has stopped and the valves have been closed, so that larger amounts of concentrate might be spilled.
Page 23
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution Authorisation of the concentrate means in this context the confirmation that the concentrate has either been automatically released by the ECOMix (no laboratory test required) or the composition has been confirmed by a laboratory test (see also section 6).

Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution 4.5.1 Regular rinsing process – Disconnecting the ECOCart To start this process, the ECOCart must be disconnected from the system. The ECOMix displays a request to connect the hoses.

Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution Display canister filling Figure 4.6: Caution: The contents of the first canister (about 5 l) must be discarded, as there may be another type of concentrate in the concentrate feed to the ECOTanks. The facility is responsible for ensuring that the canisters are suitable for storing dialy- sis concentrate in terms of condition, hygiene, labelling and regulatory requirements.
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution 4.8 Changing the filter 4.8.1 Changing the filter The filter in the ECOMix Revolution production system is intended for the filtration of the produced concentrate during the transfer into ECOTanks. Prior to starting a production process the ECOMix production system checks if the filter capacity is sufficient for another transfer process.

Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution Menu “Authorisation” Figure 4.11: 4.9.3 Special production The special production option allows ECOCarts to be produced, if the ECOMix is able to recognize the cartridge but the production data cannot be read. In order to still allow a controlled dissolving, after activating the special production in the tank configuration, the required amount of water and the TC value for each concentrate must also be entered.
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution As the ECOMix produces the concentrate exclusively based on the information in the tank, it is crucial for a special production that all values are entered correctly and that the composition of the ECOCart is checked before production is started.

6 Density deviation and laboratory analysis 6.1 Interpretation of density deviations The density deviation indicated by ECOMix is always the deviation from the target value. The absolute limit for the permissible density deviations is . Concentrates with a higher / 0.30 % deviation from the target value must never be used without a laboratory test.
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution Environmental laboratories are rarely able to measure concentrates of this composi- tion with sufficient accuracy. Laboratories that specialize in blood samples can often achieve this with a slight change in their methodology (e.g. predilution). 6.3.1 Scope of laboratory analysis The ideal analysis includes a determination of the concentrations of all components contained in the concentrate, given in g/l (glucose) and mmol/l (all other ions).
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution 6.4.1 Authorisation of concentrates without laboratory analysis If the ECOMix requests a laboratory control outside of the validation phase, this must be done and the result evaluated before the concentrate is used. If this is not possible for logistical reasons, the operator must contact an authorized technician who, in cooperation with the manufacturer Intermedt, will clarify whether the authorisation can be granted without a laboratory control.
Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution 6.6 Interpretation of laboratory results For acidic dialysis concentrate the ISO 23500-4 allow the following deviations from the target value of each component. These must not be confused with the density deviations described above. of the target value Sodium / 2.5% mmol/l of the target value...

Operating instructions ECOMix Revolution The composition of the finished dialysis fluid can be found in the lower area. Therefore, the sodium value also includes the sodium bicarbonate added in the dialysis machine. When you confirm the production, the ECOMix Revolution shows two values: a lower one for the concentrate and a higher one for the dialysis fluid.
