The AmeriWater Ozone Disinfection System is an optional accessory for the AmeriWater Bicarb Solution Mix and Distribution System (SDS) cleared for market under K051031 and the AmeriWater Water Purification System (WPS) for Hemodialysis cleared for market under K991519. It is intended for use in hospitals and dialysis clinics for the disinfection of the AmeriWater SDS and WPS system. The disinfection process is completed during off-hours when the SDS or WPS are not being used for patient treatment. The AmeriWater Ozone Disinfection System provides dissolved aqueous ozone concentrations of at least 0.5 ppm with a contact time of at least 30 minutes for disinfection of the WPS and SDS systems (the entire disinfection process takes approximately 2 hours to complete and longer contact times may be necessary based on microbial loads). The Ozone Disinfection System is designed to produce water with a microbial count of 50 CFU/ml or less.
The AmeriWater Ozone Disinfection System is a compact portable device that connects to the AmeriWater Bicarb Solution Mix and Distribution System (SDS) and the AmeriWater Water Purification System (WPS) for Hemodialysis for disinfection of the systems. Microbial reduction is achieved by a combination of disinfection by ozone and by physical removal by draining, flushing, and refilling the system being disinfected with fresh water. The Heatsan system has been designed to be in compliance with the requirements of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 13959:2009 Water for hemodialysis and related therapies and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 26722:2009 Water treatment equipment for hemodialysis applications and related therapies.
The AmeriWater Ozone Disinfection System uses a high technology corona discharge process for producing ozone. Ozone is manufactured by drawing oxygen (O2) into the ozone generator and exposing it to multiple high voltage electrical discharges. This causes a percentage of the oxygen molecules to dissociate and reassemble as ozone (03). The ozone is drawn into the water by a venturi injector / mixer allowing the ozone to be injected into the water under a vacuum condition. The AmeriWater Ozone Disinfection System is a complete unit with ozone generator, venturi injector mixer, gas off chamber with excess ozone gas destruct, feed water flow meter, oxygen flow meter, and vacuum gauge.
The driving force of the AmeriWater Ozone Disinfection System is the distribution pump on the WPS water loop and the mix and distribution pumps on the SDS. A valve arrangement installed on the outlet of the WPS distribution pump and the SDS pumps allow for the diversion of purified water flow into the AmeriWater Ozone Disinfection System and back into the SDS or WPS storage tanks. The pumps force the purified water from the WPS storage tank into the Ozone Disinfection System, which enriches it with ozone and returns it to the WPS storage tank. Likewise, the purified water from the SDS mix and distribution tanks is pumped into the Ozone Disinfection System where it is enriched with ozone and returned to the tanks. When the water flow has been adjusted properly, a vacuum will draw oxygen (from a medical grade oxygen source) into the ozone generator and ozone will be created. The ozone generator has a vacuum switch and will not operate without an adequate vacuum from the venturi injector as indicated on the Ozone Disinfection System vacuum gauge.
The purified water from the WPS or SDS flows into the Ozone system through the feed flow meter and into a venturi injector creating a vacuum that draws the oxygen through the generator creating ozone in concentrations greater than 0.5 ppm. The ozone is then mixed in the ozone rich water enters the gas off tank to remove any excess, un-dissolved ozone gas. The water-ozone mixture enters and exits at the bottom of the gas off tank. The excess (un-dissolved) ozone will slowly displace the water in the tank and is vented at the top of the tank. The excess ozone gas then enters the ozone destruct chamber where it is destroyed while the ozone-rich water is directed back to the system being disinfected. Ozone concentrations are monitored using RPC Ozone Test strips, cleared for market under K132344.
The intended disinfection endpoint for the AmeriWater Ozone Disinfection System with the AmeriWater Water Disinfection System (WPS) and the AmeriWater Solution System (SDS) following disinfection and rinse is a total bacterial count less than or equal to 50 CFU/mL; when the system being disinfected is properly maintained (with bacterial counts
The AmeriWater Ozone Disinfection System is designed to disinfect the AmeriWater Bicarb Solution Mix and Distribution System (SDS) and the AmeriWater Water Purification System (WPS) for Hemodialysis. The overall goal is to produce water with a microbial count of 50 CFU/ml or less.
