23G-Series RO System

CAUTION:
Upon start-up of a new machine or installation of new membranes
machine must be operated with permeate running to drain for a period of 3
hours in order to flush out all membrane preservatives. Failure to properly
flush the membranes can result in patient safety issues. If the 23G RO
machine is going to be disinfected rinse the system to drain under normal
pressures for a minimum of one (1) hour before exposing membranes to
Minncare
®
.
Flush the system to drain under normal pressures for a minimum of six (6)
hours before exposing membranes to formaldehyde.
NOTE:
New membranes may produce 10 - 15% higher permeate flow than
specified. Slight adjustment of recycle and concentrate orifice may be
required to reduce flow rate.
1. Remove the new membrane element bag containing
the membrane element from the shipping tube.
2. Cut the bag open as close as possible to the seal at
the end of the bag so that the bag may be reused for
disposal of the old membrane element.
3. Remove the membrane element from the bag and
remove the foam protectors from each end of the
membrane element. Set membrane aside in a clean
space and continue.
4. New O-rings should be installed when membranes
are replaced. Make sure that all parts are clean and
free from dust and dirt. Examine O-rings for nicks or
cuts and replace if damaged.
NOTE:
O-rings are not included with membrane elements. See Spare Parts List to
order new O-rings. FilmTec membranes (P/N 3027262) use O-ring P/N
ME41593 and O-Ring P/N OS1118748 in the adapter P/N 3027177.
5. Locate the concentrate seal holder on one end of the
membrane element, and place the U-cup” concentrate
seal (brine seal) into the groove of the concentrate
seal holder with the open side of the U-cup facing
away from the membrane element body. Note new
direction of flow. The open side of the U-cup is on the
upstream end of the membrane element.
