The D-1 Dialysate Meter is a hand-held conductivity instrument designed to test dialysate solutions in hospital, clinic, or home settings. It features an expanded scale range of 11-15 millimhos for testing final dialysate and includes an adjustable green color band above the dial for visual confirmation of concentration within the patient's safe zone. The meter has a built-in chip- and crack-resistant polyethylene cell cup, automatic temperature compensation to 25°C/77°F for samples between 10-71°C/50-160°F, and is powered by two standard 9-volt batteries with a lifespan of approximately 2,000 tests or one year. It has a rugged heavy gauge textured ABS case measuring 3.4 W x 4.5 D x 4.0 H inches (86 x 114 x 102 mm) and weighs 1 lb. (450 g). Accuracy is ±2% of full scale and ±1% at the calibration point, with repeatability of ±1%.
The choice of hemodialysis professionals for over 30 years, these compact instruments have been designed specifically to test dialysate solutions. By measuring electrical conductivity, they will quickly determine if dialysate concentrations are correct.
To use these hand-held instruments, the operator simply fills the cell cup with dialysate solution and pushes a button. The needle indicates the total concentrations of salts in the solution.
Model D-1 has an expanded scale of 11-15 millimhos and is useful for testing final dialysate. A unique feature of this model is the adjustable green color band above the dial. This provides an immediate visual confirmation of whether or not the dialysate concentration is within the patient’s “safe zone”.
Model D-2 features dual scales on the dial and can test both acetate and bicarbonate dialysate.
Both instruments have built-in cell cups and are completely self-contained. They are powered by 9-volt batteries which last for at least 2,000 tests. A glow light serves as a battery reserve indicator.
