Dialysate Meters

For checking dialysate solutions for artificial kidney machines in hospitals, clinics and homes.

SINGLE & DUAL RANGE

The choice of hemodialysis professionals for 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.

Features:
Fast and accurate dialysate tests
Models for both acetate and bicarbonate solutions
Chip/crack resistant polyethylene cell cup
Rugged design
Simple to use
Automatic temperature compensation

Model D-1
Has an expanded scale of 11-15 milliohos 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 are easy to calibrate for more accurate readings.

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.

Note:
The plunger has been specifically designed and calibrated to reduce bubbles and reduce the volume of liquid inside the cell cup. The meter will not work without it and the plunger should only be used for that specific meter (don't swap plungers if you have multiple meters).

Thousands of MYRON L Dialysate Meters are currently in daily use
around the world after years of reliable service.

Standard Solutions are precisely formulated and are used to recalibrate Dialysate Meters for greatest accuracy. The 12.5, 13.4 or 14.0 millimhos Standards are the same used in Myron L factory calibration of Models D-1 and D-2.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION: WHY IT’S IMPORTANT
The graph below illustrates conductivity readings of a 14.0 millimhos dialysate sample tested with a non-temperature compensated conductivity meter. The same sample APPEARS to have a higher level of dialysate concentration when heated (and lower concentration when chilled). Actually, only conductivity readings change with temperature. Dialysate concentration does not change. Some instruments ignore the importance of temperature. Others require a separate thermometer for testing sample temperature then manual adjustment of the meter. All Myron L instruments, however, feature fast and precise Automatic Temperature Compensation. The result: a more accurate, useful instrument.
