I am familiar with these meters and have used them as a biomed. Have never seen one used by clinical staff on the treatment floor though. Currently we have the Mesa Lab pHoenix meters with the tri-stations to check calibration, rinse and disinfect. My question is how are your clinics setting up for the D-6? Do you have a rinse station with RO water or can tap water be used to rinse? I know there is no disinfection required. But there has to be a rinsing in-between dialysis machines so the sample is not contaminated - right? Manual and sales rep says clean water rinse.
Can someone walk me through how these meters are working out for staff? and enlighten us to any problems with them?
thank you

got a number of clinic using them they like them you can get rid of the TDS meter we use the same station we did for the phoenix meters, you will need ph 4, ph 7 ph 10 14.0 if you make bicarb a 50ms solution also a 3000 solution for checking your tds IMPORTANT you must keep the ph electrode wet with ph storage solution or you will need to buy a new ph electrode I order the 3000 and the ph solution through the dpd catalogue from fmc all the reagents you use for the phoenix meters can be used for the ld 6 you will nnot need any 100ms solution

For those of us that do not have the D-6 meters, how do you collect your sample? Do you use a syringe or do you pull off a coupling and dribble dialysate into the meter?

We use disposable 3oz. sample cups from DPD catalog. Fill them from the hanson, rinse the cell 3 times then collect sample for reading. All of this is done at the machine and dumped into the priming bucket. The bucket is drained, rinsed and disinfected with 1:100 bleach between treatments. |
