Description

The UPT Medical Reverse Osmosis System is the primary process used for the purification of water used for hemodialysis. It utilizes a membrane separation process to remove Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from the feed water. The process is accomplished by applying pressure to the feed water, forcing it through the RO membrane that has two outlet streams. The first is referred to as the Concentrate stream. This is the stream that contains the contaminants removed from the tap water, which exits the R.O. machine and is sent to the drain. The second stream is referred to as the Product stream. This is the purified water that is ready to be sent to the post-treatment of the system for storage, final filtration and ultimately patient use.

The R.O. utilizes many monitors, alarms and controls to meet all necessary water quality and patient safety standards. These include but are not limited to:
• Percent Rejection
• Feed and Product TDS (By Conductivity)
• Low Pressure Alarm
• Low Tank Level Alarm
• High Temperature Alarms
• Cleaning Capabilities
• Product Divert-to-Drain
• Indications for Flows and Pressures
