Indications for Use
The AquaBplus Water Purification Systems are reverse osmosis units intended for use with hemodialysis systems to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from the water used for treating hemodialysis patients or other related therapies. These devices are intended to be a component in a complete water purification system, and are not complete water treatment systems. Each reverse osmosis unit must be preceded by pre-treatment devices, and may need to be followed by post-treatment devices as well, to meet current AAMI/ANSI/ISO and federal (U.S.) standards.
