The D-2 Dialysate Meter is a hand-held, battery-powered conductivity instrument designed to test acetate and bicarbonate dialysate solutions in hospital, clinic, or home settings. It features dual scale ranges of 0-10 and 0-20 millimhos, a chip- and crack-resistant polyethylene cell cup, and automatic temperature compensation to 25°C/77°F for samples between 10-71°C/50-160°F. The meter is powered by two standard 9-volt batteries with a life of approximately 2,000 tests or one year, and includes a glow light battery reserve indicator. Its case is made of heavy gauge textured ABS, measuring 86 x 114 x 102 mm and weighing 450 grams. Accuracy is ±2% of full scale, with ±1% repeatability and at the calibration point. Circuitry is solid state and sealed against moisture. Electrodes require no replatinizing or replacement.
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.
