Intended Use
The water treatment system and its components consisting of; pretreatment, reverse osmosis machine, and the product water distribution components, are designed to remove microbiological, organic, and inorganic contaminants from the tap water to supply dialysis machines for the preparation of dialysate solutions for hemodialysis treatments.
NOTE: Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician for use as a water treatment device for hemodialysis.
Device Description
The water treatment system and its components consisting of; pre-treatment, reverse osmosis machine, and the product water distribution components, are designed to remove microbiological, organic, and inorganic contaminants from the tap water to supply dialysis machines for the preparation of dialysate solutions for hemodialysis treatments.
Pretreatment components can include a tap water retroutinem, blending valve, sediment filtration, boosting Systems, water softeners, and all the carbon roll of reconnecting plumbing. The purpose of this part of the system is to ensure that properly conditioned water is supplied to the reverse oonditionsachine to ensure its safe and trouble free operation. The blending valve ensures that the operation: The proper temperature when entering the reverse osmosis machine. The tap water booster system helps ensure that the reverse osmosis systhine has adequate water pressure and volume so it can produce the desired amount of water. The i sediment filters can be in the form of an automatic backwashing filter (such as a multi-media depth filter), or as a replaceable filter cartridge. The carbon filters are installed primarily to remove the amount of chlorine and chloramines from the water to meet the necessary water quality standards and can be in the form of automatic backwashing tanks, or portable exchange tanks. The water softener(s) are in place to remove the hardness from the tap water to both meet water quality standards, and to protect the reverse osmosis membranes from scaling and therefore not performing to specifications.
After the tap water has been pre-treated, it then enters the R.O. (reverse osmosis), where total dissolved solids are removed to pertinent water quality standards. This is accomplished by utilizing a membrane separation process, whereby the incoming water is separated into a product stream, and a concentrate stream. The molecular weight cut-off determines what and how many contaminants are passed through into the product stream. R.O.s used for this application typically remove 95-99% of all total dissolved solids and bacteria.
The product water distribution part of the system is in place to store, provide additional purification if needed, and deliver the purified water to wherever needed. These components can include such things as a storage tank, deionization tanks, final filters (for bacteria and endotoxins), and delivery pumps and controls. Some systems can also utilize an ultraviolet light for additional sterilization properties.
