All,
Looking to purchase a dialysate meter for a new tech starting soon. Currently have some not so well taken care of 90XL's and modules. Looking to replace this with an HDM97 but not sure where to purchase this in the U.S. I have also heard that this meter needs to be sent back to Germany every year for calibration, is this true?
Would like to have the same meter that BBraun techs use but if it's too much of a hassle then we may just get a new 90XL. Thanks for any information provided.

The sales number for the US is toll free 1-865-686-8650.
H&S Technical used to sell them but I'm pretty sure they don't anymore. I do know for a fact that they do still service them so you don't need to send them to Germany.
I don't know if the 90XL's have the accuracy that the Braun machine needs or not. There are a number of Braun Tech Service people here as well as a few H&S people so hopefully one will chime in.

Thanks Chuck. I tried the phone number and it appears to be disconnected. I emailed the sales team at H&S to confirm and to see if they could suggest where I might purchase one.

H&S and Total Quality Medical no longer sell the HDM97. Anyone located in the U.S. have experience purchasing directly from IBP?

I believe Mesa Labs bought out IBP but the only place to get them in North America is Canada. You can order them directly from IBP in Germany. They are pretty fantastic people to work with. As far as the calibration - they could go back to Germany for calibration, but, I've been sending them to Transcat for calibration.

Is the IBP meter still the only one with the accuracy that is needed for the Dialogs? I thought I remember hearing that some field service techs were using a different meter now?

I think there may be other meters that have the accuracy, but the IBP is what is used. Field techs are using strictly IBP HDM97 meters. They may be going to a different pressure gauge though. They currently use a Cecomp F22BBL but may switch to Ashcroft

Maybe B. Braun could become a US distributor. Buying things internationally can be a major PIA! I wish I knew someone who could pass on the suggestion!  |

Hahaha I hear they DO have a good relationship with them. I really want to try the HDC85

I use the 90XL meters for our Dialog machines since this is what we had when we were using Gambro machines. Why have there been comments saying don't know if they the accuracy needed?

This is going back a number of years so my memory may not be correct. I think it had to do with the resolution (number of decimal places the conductivity displayed as so my use of the word accuracy wasn't accurate. Back then, the NEO and NEOII meters were the dominant meters in use. |

Just wanted to update everyone. Mesa does sell the HDM87. I was told that Mesa purchased IBP and hopes to begin manufacturing these meters in the U.S. next year.
