 Introduction

Intended use
The Gambro water treatment system CWP 100, In addition, the WRO Chem has been designed
model WRO Chem, produces water of high to reduce water consumption by automatically
quality, chemically and microbiologically and adjusting the reject flow to the actual
with adequate flow, provided that the feed water consumption of pure water.
complies with existing standards for drinking
water and has been properly pre-treated by Caution: WRO Chem utilizes chemical
softening, charcoal filtration and particle filt- disinfectants for the disinfection of the WRO
ration to minimum 10 µm. and the distribution system in the clinic. A test
for residual chemicals must therefore be perfor-
med before initiation of a dialysis treatment.
Introduction WRO Chem comes in four different sizes:
The water used in the dialysis setting is a very WRO111, WRO112, WRO113 and WRO114.
important factor in achieving and maintaining
an adequate quality of the dialysis fluid. The
chemical and microbiological quality of the water
depends not only on technical parameters of
membranes (such as retention rate, rejection
rate, chemical composition, and pore size), but
also to a large extent on the condition of, and
proper maintenance of, equipment and distribu-
tion system.

WRO Chem is a member of Gambro´s central

water treatment system CWP 100. It has been
specially designed to meet the unique
requirements of the dialysis clinic. When proper-
ly maintained it will produce water of high
quality both from a chemical and microbiological
standpoint, provided that the inlet water
complies with normal standards for drinking
water and has been properly pretreated.

CWP 100, model WRO Chem, operates under

the principle of reverse osmosis (RO) which is
the preferred method for the purification of
water for dialysis. This system removes 95 - 98%
of total dissolved salts (based on conductivity)
and more than 99% of the bacteria and
endotoxins from the inlet water.

In order to ensure that the microbiological

quality will be maintained, the system has:

• Hygienic design with smooth surfaces and a

minimum of stagnant zones.

• Automatic flushing programs at preset inter-

vals when the system is not in use.

• Built-in automized disinfection and cleaning Fig. 1. CWP 100, model WRO Chem.
programs that enable integrated chemical
disinfection of the WRO and all parts of the
piping system downstream the WRO.

 The quality of dialysis fluid - general aspects
Microbiological quality
The microbiological quality of the dialysis fluid
is a function of a number of factors. Neglecting
only one of these could result in a poor quality.
These factors are:
• Acceptable quality of the inlet water to the
water treatment system, i.e. in accordance
with standards for drinking water.
• High capacity of reduction of microorganisms
and endotoxins in the water treatment
system. This requires both the necessary
purification steps (e.g. RO) as well as
hygienic design and correct maintenance
including regular cleaning and disinfection.
• Hygienic design of the distribution system of
treated water to the dialysis clinic with
smooth surfaces and with a minimum of
joints and stagnant zones.
• Frequent disinfection of the distribution
system.
• Hygienic design and regular cleaning and
disinfection of the dialysis machines.
• High quality and proper handling of bicarbo-
nate concentrates.
• Correct arrangement of the drain connections
from the dialysis machines i.e. air gap to
avoid microbial contamination from the
drainage system.
• Regular sampling to verify that the quality is
maintaned.
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00
Chemical quality
The conductivity, i. e. the ability of the water to
conduct a current, is a measure of the amount of
dissolved salts in water. It is therefore used to
indicate the quality of the water and the perfor-
mance of different water treatment processes,
such as reverse osmosis.
The conductivity in water is normally expressed
in microsiemens per cm (µS/cm).
The amount of dissolved salts in tap water
varies significantly from place to place and may
also change over time due to seasonal varia-
tions. As reverse osmosis removes a percentage
of the salts (appr. 95%) it is obvious that the
pure water conductivity also will vary
depending on the quality of the inlet water.
The conductivity of the water is not always a
good indicator of the suitability of the water for
dialysis. Aluminium, for example, may be pre-
sent in concentrations well exeeding recommen-
ded standards without affecting the conductivity.
The quality of dialysis water should therefore
always be verified by regular water analyses.
The conductivity should mainly be used as an
indicator of the performance of the reverse
osmosis system.
The regulations and guidelines on the quality
requirements for dialysis water varies in diffe-
rent countries.
1:3
 Description of reverse osmosis
Reverse osmosis is a membrane process and is
today the most widely used technique for the
production of water for dialysis. The membrane
that is used is semipermeable, i.e. it allows
passage of water but retains most of the dissolved
salts, particles, bacteria and endotoxins *).
Principle: If two solutions of different concentra-
tion of salts are separated by a semipermeable
membrane, water will pass through the membra-
ne from the weaker to the stronger solution in an
effort to equalize the difference in concentration.
This is called OSMOSIS.
By applying a pressure on the more concentrated
solution, this transport of water will go in the
opposite direction, i.e. from the stronger to the
weaker solution. This process is called REVER-
SE OSMOSIS. (Fig 2).

The membrane that is used in this system will
retain at least 95 % of dissolved salts (based on
conductivity) in the water and about 99 % of the
contents of bacteria, endotoxins and substances
exceeding 200 Dalton in molecular weight.
The pure water from the reverse osmosis process
is also called permeate.
Part of the water, normally 30-50 %, containing
the retained contaminants is continously diver-
ted to drain (reject water) via a needle valve.
The required operating pressure in a reverse
osmosis system generally ranges from 10 to 60
bar, depending on application. The maximum
pressure in the RO-unit in this system is
approximately 18 bar.

 Description of the WRO Chem
General description
Refer to fig 3, 4 and 5!
(The components in the system are marked with
the numbers within parenthesis below.)
After pretreatment (preferably in carbon filter,
softener and 5 µm particle filters) the water
enters an inlet water tank (4) with an air gap
via a solenoid valve (1). A booster pump (33)
then creates the pressure that is required for
the reverse osmosis process (12 - 18 bar).
The pure water from the WRO-unit is distribu-
ted directly to the clinics distribution system via
solenoid valves (48) and (136). Excess pure
water that has not been used in the clinic is
recirculated back to the inlet water tank via
solenoid valve 106.
The reject flow leaving the reverse osmosis
module is split into two streams. One part is
recirculated back to the inlet side of the main
pump via valve (71) (preset from factory) in
order to maintain a high flow velocity over the
membrane surface. The other part is the reject
flow rate which is set with needle valve (41).
To save water, a three way motor valve is
installed in the reject line downstream reject
valve (41). This valve directs part of the reject
water back to the inlet tank during periods of
low water consumption.
The pure water line in the WRO has a solenoid
valve (36) for automatic flushing to drain at
start up, in conductivity alarm situations, at
regular intervals when the system is in stand
by mode and at rinse during disinfection
The outlet pure water line has two solenoid
valves in series. Valve 48 is a normal shut off
valve. Valve 136 has a special design and
functions as a restrictor when it is in closed
position. It is used to reduce the outlet flow rate
during intake of Dialox during loop disinfection,
thereby increasing the concentration of Dialox.
Valve operates parallel to valve 48 in all other
modes of operation.
The WRO-unit has an overflow valve on the pure
water side (64) to control pressure and to relieve
pressure peaks. This overflow valve is set at
approx. 7 bar at delivery.
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00
Conductivity monitoring
The conductivity on the inlet water and pure
water are continously monitored by two
conductivity cells (32 and 35). The pure water
conductivity is continously displayed on the
operator´s panel during operation. The inlet
water conductivity is displayed on request by
pressing MAIN MENU. Refer to page 1:14
Conductivity cell (144) in the return line from
the clinic is used to monitor the loop disinfection
procedure by indicating when disinfectant has
reached that part of the system.
Flow monitoring
The flow rates are measured at the following
places (fig. 3):
Flow pos
• Reject flow from RO-unit (F2) 42
• Pure water flow from RO-unit (F6) 121
• Return flow from the loop (F4) 51
These flow rates are used to calculate:
• Actual water consumption F5 = F6 - F4
• Inlet water flow F1 = F2 + (F6 - F4)
All flow rates are presented on the operator´s
panel on request by pressing MAIN MENU.
Refer to page 1:14.
Chemical disinfection
WRO Chem offers the possibility to perform
different chemical desinfection programs.
For this purpose the WRO has one (models 111,
112) or two (models 113, 114) proportioning
pump(s) (45) for the addition of Dialox to the
system. The WRO has enough internal space to
hold Dialox containers up to 30 liters of volume.
The proportioning pump(s) and the Dialox
container is completely disconnected from the
fluid path of the WRO during normal operation.
Refer to page 1:16 for more information about
chemical disinfection.

 Main components
Refer to figures 3, 4 and 5!
Inlet water tank (4)
The inlet water tank in the RO-unit separates
the system from the mains water supply system
by an air gap. The water level is regulated by
means of a float valve (5). The tank also contains
a low level switch (6) which stops the system if
the water supply is inadequate.
Main pump module (33)
A pump module consists of a fiberglass reinforced
pressure vessel containing a multistage
centrifugal pump made of stainless steel. Both
ends are closed by plastic o-ring sealed end
plugs. The module is connected to the upper and
lower stainless steel frames through the plastic
end plugs and sealed by o-rings.
RO-modules (34)
An RO-module consists of a fiberglass reinforced
pressure vessel which encases two membrane
elements. Both ends are closed by o-ring sealed
plastic end plugs. The modules are connected to
the upper and lower stainless steel frames
through the end plugs and sealed by o-rings.
Dosing pump (45)
Magnetic membrane dosing pump. One or two
pumps are included depending on size of WRO.
The output of the pump is regulated by changing
the stroke frequency with a graduated knob. The
membrane in the pump is made of teflon
The pump have non-return valves on both inlet
and outlet of the pump head and in the dosing
connector.
The pump has a suction tube with a built-in low
level switch. The container plug has adjustable
diameter and a built-in aeration valve.
Dosing connector (132)
During operation the (female) dosing connector
for the disinfectant must be positioned in the
position OPERATION (44). The dosing pump
and disinfection container is then completely
isolated from the fluid system in the WRO.
At initiation of disinfection the dosing connector
is manually moved to either DISINF WRO (53)
or DISINF LOOP (131), depending on which
disinfection program that is selected.
It then has to be moved back to OPERATION
before the WRO can be put back into operation
again. All three positions have sensors to verify
correct position of the connector.
1:10
Special solenoid valve (136)
The solenoid valve 136 is mounted in series with
valve 48 in the outlet pure water line. It has a
drilled hole which allows passage of water also in
closed position. It operates identical to valve 48
except from during Dialox intake period during
loop disinfection when it is closed. The purpose is
to reduce the outlet pure water flow and
pressure during intake of Dialox, thereby
increasing the concentration of Dialox.
Operator´s panel
The Operator´s panel on the front is used for all
communication between operator and the WRO.
Refer to page 1:12.
Electrical control cabinet WRO
The electrical components is mounted behind
the upper front cover of the WRO-unit (behind
the operator´s panel). This cabinet contains
equipment such as programmable controller
(PLC), signal converters, relays and fuses. For
access (trained personnel only), release the two
locking screws.
Collecting tray (61)
The collecting tray at the bottom of the unit is
connected to drain and will lead away small
amounts of water, such as spillage and conden-
sate. The tray has a level switch (62) which will
stop the unit and shut off the water supply in
case of a larger internal leak by closing the inlet
water solenoid valve (1).
Cover
The system is enclosed in a painted steel plate
cover. The internal parts are accessible through
three doors: one on the front, one on the left and
one on the right side of the unit.
Caution: Those parts of the cover that are
fastened with screws may only be opened by
trained technical personne
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00
 Motor valve (138)
The purpose of this three-way valve is to reduce
the overall water consumption. The valve is
mounted in the reject line (fig. 3, 4) and is
controlled by the PLC. It will recirculate part of
the reject water to the inlet tank during periods
when less water is used.
Function: The reject flow rate leaving the
RO- module(s) is constant and is set with
needle valve 41 with fully open motor valve to
the value recommended in the Installation and
Service and maintenance sections.
When the consumption of pure water goes down,
valve 138 gradually closes, thereby leading a
larger part of the reject water back to the inlet
tank. (4). The Water Conversion Factor =

WCF (%) = pure water consumption x 100

inlet water flow
will therefore remain constant during operation,
independent of product water consumption.

Note: The part of the product water that is not

used in the clinic will also be recirculated to the
inlet tank. The quality of the product water will
remain unchanged, regardless of the degree of
recirculation of reject.

 Chemical disinfection
Disinfection programs
Disinfection must be performed on a regular
basis to ensure consistent microbiological quality
of the pure water. WRO Chem therefore has
automized disinfection programs to simplify the
disinfection procedure:
1. DISINF WRO
Disinfection of the WRO alone according to
page 1:17.
2. DISINF LOOP
Disinfection of the distribution system of pure
water downstream the WRO according to
pages 1:18 -1:20.
Depending on preferences, this disinfection
program may include:
A. Only the distribution system
B. The distribution system + the WRO
C. The distribution system + the WRO +
dialysis machines type Gambro.
This mode is also referred to as Central
chemical disinfection
Caution: The mode Central chemical
disinfection has only been validated with
Gambro dialysis machines AK 90, AK 100
(prom version 3:60 or later),
AK 100 ULTRA (prom version 4.xx or
later), AK 95, AK 200 and AK 200 ULTRA.
Required disinfection frequency
The required frequency of disinfection depends
on factors such as inlet water quality and opera-
tion schedule and must therefore be determined
by regular microbiological testing.
Weekly disinfection should however be regarded
as a minimum.
Disinfection solution
The disinfectant to be used is Dialox, which is a
peracetic acid based agent.
Caution: Peracetic acid concentrates are
corrosive and may cause damage to eyes and
skin. Study the safety instructions prior to use.
Use protective glasses!
Exposed skin will be irritated and white spots
may appear which will disappear after 1-2
hours. In case of spillage, flush with plenty of
water.
1:16
Caution: Do not use any other disinfectant
than Dialox without consulting Gambro.
Other peracetic based disinfectants may
require other dilution ratios than Dialox.
The use of other peracetic acid based
disinfection solutions has not been validated.
The use of chlorine based disinfectants such
as sodium hypochlorite will rapidly destroy
the reverse osmosis membranes.
Formalin will be insufficiently rinsed out
with the rinse programs intended for Dialox.
Information about peracetic acid
Peracetic acid is a chemical disinfectant consis-
ting of a mixture of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2),
acetic acid (CH3COOH) and water. Peracetic
acid is formed when mixing these ingredients :
H2O2 + CH3COOH ⁄ CH3 COOOH +H2O
hydrogen acetic acid peracetic acid water
peroxide
Peracetic acid has strong oxidizing properties. It
attacks proteins in the cellullar membranes of
the microorganisms, penetrates into the cells
and oxidizes the enzymatic system. After reaction
it decomposes to water, oxygen and acetate.
The recommended concentration of Dialox in the
disinfectant solution is 2-4 %, which corresponds
to a dilution ratio of 1:25 - 1:50.
Refer to Users Manual for Dialox for more
information regarding Dialox.
Caution: Too high concentrations of Dialox may
cause irreversible damage to the reverse osmosis
membrane. Damage will also occur if the
temperature of the disinfection solution in the
system exceeds 25 °C (max. feed water temp. =
20°C, refer to Technical data in section 6).
Consult Gambro if any doubts exist!
Residual testing of Dialox
Potassium Iodine test strips are used to test for
residual chemicals, e.g. Merck Peroxide test
strips (sensitivity 0.5 mg/l of H2O2), Gambro
order no 113 004 078.

 Rinse of dialysis monitors
A. Automatic rinse of the monitors

Alternative 1: Rinse of the dialysis
monitors should follow immediately after
final rinse of WRO
The WRO program offers the possibility to add a
rinse period immediately after rinse of the WRO
and the loop has been completed. This mode is
called Rinse monitors and is suitable to use to
perform automatic rinse of AK 90, see fig. 16.
Note: The WRO will still be in disinfection mode
during this rinse period. It then will stop and
cannot be put into operation until the
disinfection procedure has been completed by
entering the operator´s code.
Caution: The dwell time for the dialysis
monitors must be programmed so that the rinse
cycle of the WRO will overlap the rinse cycles of
the dialysis monitors.
The WRO is then programmed to start some
minutes prior to this time and run for a preset
period to enable rinse of the dialysis monitors.
This mode is called RINSE CIRCULATION,
see fig. 16. Refer to TIME CHANNELS in
section 5 for more information.
Refer to autorinse mode in the operating
instructions for AK100.
Note: The WRO Chem is still in disinfection
mode when rinse circulation is activated.
Note: When using the autorinse feature in the
AK 100 you enter the desired ready time. This
must be programmed into the AK 100 before
the central chem program is activated. If
not, a manual rinse will be required.

 Operator´s action in case of an alarm
If an alarm occurs on the CWP, the external alarm lamp (if installed) will light up
and ALARM will be displayed in the upper right corner of operator´s panel display.
The enclosed alarms list "Alarm list for nurses" covers the alarms that can be
handled by the nurses. Other alarms requires technical personnel.

Actions:
ALARM
LIST
1. On CWP 100: Press . A list of alarms that have occurred will be displayed
with the latest alarm at the top of the list. " * " in front of the alarm indicates an
active alarm that has not been reset. The time when the alarm that the cursor
points at occurred is shown at the bottom of the display.
(If no time is shown, press the I-button .)

2. Acknowledgement of the alarm: Insure that the small arrow on the alarm list
points at the alarm to be acknowledged ( " * " in front of the alarm). If not move
the arrow with the arrow buttons. Then press . " * " will then disappear.
ALARM
ACK

If " - " is shown after acknowledgement, the cause still remains .

A "$" indicates an alarm that is no longer active but has not been reset.

3. If the alarm is included in the enclosed list, follow recommended actions to cor-
rect the fault. If not, call for technical assistance. For complete alarm list and
trouble shooting guide, please refer to the Trouble shooting section of the
manual.

4. In some cases consecutive alarms may occur. It is then important to acknowledge

all alarms. Use the arrow buttons to find all alarms and then reset them.

5. When the fault has been rectified: Press STATUS to return to normal display
reading.

If the alarm has occurred during a disinfection cycle and this is to be contin-

ued, press DISINF

,-(-./
. If disinfection is to be finished as soon as possible, keep START
()*+)

depressed for more than 5 seconds. Rinse will then be initiated. When the rinse is
completed, finish disinfection according to normal routines. Then perform a rinse
of the dialysis machines before testing for residual disinfectants.

Warning: Do not initiate dialysis until all dialysis machines have been tested for
residual disinfectant!

3:4 HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 Alarms that can be handled by the operator
No Cause
1. "Low level inlet."
Low level in the inlet
water tank inside the
CWP. This alarm may be
caused by plugged
prefilters or insufficient
water supply.
4. "Dos. conn. error"
The disinfectant connec-
tor sensors indicate
incorrect position. The
sensor must be returned
to Operation after the
intake phase, otherwise
this alarm will occur.
5. Warning cond.
The product water con-
ductivity is elevated.
6. High cond.
The high conductivity
alarm limit has been
exceeded. The alarm can
not be cleared until the
conductivity again is
below the alarm limit.
9. "Low level chem"
The level of disinfectant is
below the level switch in
the disinfectant container.
Always insure that there
is sufficient amount of
disinfectant at the initia-
tion of a disinfection cycle!
27. "Battery low PLC"
The battery in the PLC
is losing its power.
28. "Disinf. time"
The disinfection cycle in
the CWP has been de-
layed more than allowed.
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00
Action
Operation: The CWP will reset the alarm (indicated by $
in the alarm list) and make up to 4 restart attempts. If an
attempt is successful the CWP will continue in operation.
During restart attempts, check that the inlet pressure to
the CWP is minimum 2,5 bar (35 psi). Call for technical
assistance to investigate the cause of the alarm.
Loop disinfection: The CWP will try to restart at regular
intervals (factory set at 10 minutes). If the disinfection
program is delayed more than a certain time (factory set
at 15 minutes ), alarm 28. Disinf. time will also be is-
sued.
After correction of the fault: Let disinfection go to
completion. An extra rinse of the dialysis machines is then
mandatory before performing test for residual chemicals.
Operation: Open the front door of the CWP and check the
position of the dosing connector. Make sure that is firmly
in Operation position. Call for technical assistance if the
alarm cannot be rectified.
Loop disinfection: Follow the normal procedure to finish
disinfection of the CWP and the loop. An extra rinse of the
dialysis machines is then mandatory before performing
test for residual chemicals.
The CWP will continue in operation. Call for technical
assistance to find out the reason for the alarm.
The CWP goes into divert-to drain mode and the dialysis
machines will stop because of insufficient water supply.
Immediately call for technical assistance to investigate
the cause of the alarm.
Operation will be resumed automatically if the conductiv-
ity goes below 50% of the set limit for high conductivity.
At the initiation of a disinfection cycle: Replace the
empty container with a filled one
During a loop disinfection cycle: The CWP and the
dialysis machines will stop. Replace the empty container
with a filled one within 30 minutes! Then restart the
disinfection programme.
After a disinfection cycle: Perform an extra disinfection
of the dialysis machines before initiating dialysis.
This alarm is technical and does not effect the dialysis
treatments. Proceed according to normal routines but
immediately call for technical assistance to investigate the
cause of the alarm.
Follow the normal procedure to finish disinfection of the
CWP and the loop. Then perform an extra rinse of the
dialysis machines before performing test for residual
chemicals.

This trouble shooting guide is intended to be used to identify the cause of issued alarms and to help
correct the fault causing the alarm.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 1.Low level inlet
Reason:
The level switch 6 in the inlet water tank 4 has indicated low water level.

Possible causes:
1: Inadequate water supply
2: Plugged prefilters
3: Faulty level switch

WRO action:
During operation: The WRO will stop and issue this alarm. It will then make up to four
restart attempts with one minute intervals (preset under Tec.info level 2).
If a restart attempt is successful the WRO will return to operation. For information pur-
pose the alarm(s) will remain in the alarm list (" $ " in front of the alarm) and must be reset
manually. They will, however, not affect the operation of the WRO .
If all four restart attempts fail the WRO will stop. It then has to be restarted manually
after correction of the cause of the alarm.

During stand by flushing: The flushing will be interrupted but no alarm is issued.
"low level" will appear on the operator´s panel to inform why the WRO has stopped. The WRO
will try to restart at preprogrammed intervals (standard setting 30 minutes, set under Tech-
nician info level 2) if there is sufficient water level in the inlet tank.

Note: Every time the level switch 6 indicates low level in the inlet tank, this will be regis-
tered under Technician info, subtitle "no of low level", for future records (refer to Service
and maintenance).

During disinfection: The WRO will stop and issue Low level inlet alarm. "STOPPED" and
"low level" will appear on the display.
The WRO will try to restart at preprogrammed intervals (standard setting 10 minutes, set
under Technician info level 2) if there is sufficient water level in the inlet tank.

Corrective action:
1. Is the water supply sufficient according to Technical data?
The accumulated number of low level alarms is registered under Nb. low level (4. in Techni-
cian info, page 5:2). Keep record of this number to find out if interruptions in the water
supply occurs on a regular basis.
A temporary drop in pressure may occur if backwashing or regeneration of different pretreat-
ment filters takes place when the WRO is in operation.

2. Check of prefilters: Start the WRO and check the pressure before and after the prefilters.
The pressure drop during operation should be max. 0,5 bar and the pressure after the
prefilters should be min. 3.0 bar.
Exchange prefilter filter cartridges if necessary.

3. Check the function of the level switch (6) (output X13 on PLC). It should be lit when there is
water in the tank and go out when the tank goes empty. Replace if faulty.

3:8 HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 3.Drain valve
Reason:
Motor valve 138 on the drain and recirculation line is equipped with a microswitch which senses
the position of the valve when it is in closed position, i.e. full recirculation of the reject back to
the inlet water tank 4.

This alarm is issued, after a short delay, if the input signal X15 from the sensor is not on when
the output signal Y15 is activated.

Possible causes:
1: Malfunction of motor valve 138
2: Malfunction of the microswitch

WRO action:
The CWP stops and cannot be restarted again until the cause of the alarm is rectified.

Corrective action:
Valve 138 is powered from the output Y15 via solid state relay K32. This output is powered
during the intake and recirculation periods of the disinfection program to divert the solution back
to the inlet tank.

1. Put the motor valve in manual position (refer to Technical info level 2) . Try to open/close the
valve and check that the LED´s on the out put and solid state relays K31 and K32 lights up
correctly.

2. Check if the valve is closed (the pointer for the valve shall point at 0). If not, try to close it manu-
ally (remove the black rubber cap on the motor valve) by using an Allen (hexagon) key. Turn
counter clockwise to close the valve.

3. Check the function of the microswitch. LED for X15 shall be on when the valve is closed.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

3:9
 4. Dos.connector
Reason:
This alarm is issued if any of the three sensors 53, 11 and 130 for the dosing connector indicate
that the connector is incorrectly positioned for the present mode of operation. The sensor must be
located in the hole in the square metal part surrounding the connector. The connector must be
in the correct position and must not be in any other position. Otherwise, this alarm will be issued.
A red light can be seen at the back of the sensor (behind the panel) when the sensor is active.

Possible causes:
The dosing connector must be positioned as follows:

MODE OF OPERATION CONNECTOR POSITION

1. operation or stand by OPERATION (44)
2. loop disinfection, disinfectant intake DISINF. LOOP (53)
3. loop disinfection, contact and rinse periods OPERATION (44)
4. disinfection of the WRO DISINF. WRO (110)

WRO action:
1. DURING OPERATION AND STAND BY:
The WRO will stop and cannot be restarted until the cause of the alarm is rectified.

2. DURING THE INTAKE PHASE OF THE LOOP DISINFECTION PROGRAM:

a. The dosing pump(s) and main pump will stop. As a consequence, all dialysis machines that
have not finished their intake phase will issue alarm for insufficient water supply.
b. WRO time counting will freeze .
c. If the STOP button is pressed within 30 minutes, the disinfection program will be put
on hold until further action is taken.
d. If no action is taken within 30 minutes, the disinfection program will start from
where it was before the alarm occurred. All pumps will, however, stay switched off
during the remaining part of the intake period.

3. DURING CONTACT AND RINSE PHASES IN THE LOOP DISINFECTION PROGRAM:

When the intake phase has ended, the connector MUST be moved back to OPERATION
to eliminate the risk of disinfectant being introduced into the system during the subsequent
rinse sequences. If the connector is not returned to OPERATION within 10 minutes , this
alarm will be issued. The disinfection program will, however continue and go to completion.

Warning: If this alarm occurs, an extra loop test and rinse of the dialysis machines must be
performed before initiation of dialysis. To indicate this, LOOP TEST REQUIRED will flash on
the display and the WRO will operate intermittent until the test has been verified by entering the
operator´s code + ENTER

4: DURING DISINFECTION OF WRO

Alarm will be issued but the disinfection programme will continue. The dosing pump(s) will,
however, remain switched off.

3:10 HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 4. Dos.conn. cont´d
Corrective action:
1. DURING OPERATION AND STAND BY:
Check that the connector is firmly in place in the OPERATION position. After reset, press
START to resume operation (if in operation). If the alarm is still not cleared, check the sensor.

2. DURING THE INTAKE PHASE OF THE LOOP DISINFECTION PROGRAM:

Insure that the connector is firmly in place in the LOOP DISINFECTION position. Then restart
disinfection by pressing LOOP DISINF.

Warning: If this alarm occurs during the intake phase of central chemical disinfection and is not
rectified within 30 minutes, the dialysis machines may not have been properly disinfected. An
extra disinfection of the dialysis machines is therefore mandatory before dialysis is initiated.

3. DURING CONTACT AND RINSE PHASES IN THE LOOP DISINFECTION PROGRAM:

a: The connector must be firmly attached in the OPERATION position.
b: Perform an extra loop test and rinse of the dialysis machines before initiation of dialysis. To
insure that this is done, LOOP TEST REQUIRED will flash on the display and the WRO will
operate intermittently to make initiation of dialysis impossible until the test has been verified
by entering the operator´s code + ENTER

If the connector is correctly positioned and the alarm still persists after reset, call for technical
service to check the function of the sensor.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 5.Warning cond.
Reason:
The purpose of the warning limit for pure water conductivity is to alert the operator that the
conductivity for some reason is elevated.
The warning limit should be set at 2 x the normal pure water conductivity, however minimum
30µS/cm. Factory setting: 50 µS/cm

Possible causes:
1. The inlet water conductivity is for some reason elevated. The reason could be:
- insufficiently rinsed softeners in the pretreatment equipment
- increased conductivity in the raw water that is used
2. Incorrect calibration of the pure water conductivity.
3. Internal leakage in the pure water conductivity cell (35).
4. Insufficient rinse times in the disinfection program.
5. Fouled RO-membranes.
6. Internal leakage in the reverse osmosis module(s).
7. Faulty conductivity transmitter CX2.
8. Irreversible damaged RO-membranes because of elevated chlorine levels in the inlet water to
the WRO or excessive temperatures (>25°C) during disinfection with peracetic acid.

WRO action:
During operation: The system will issue this alarm after some delay but continue in operation.
During disinfection and cleaning: No alarm will be issued.
During rinse circulation: No alarm will be issued.
During stand by flush: The pure water will be diverted to drain, independent of WRO setting.

Corrective action:
1. Check that the inlet water conductivity is normal (is displayed under MAIN MENU). If not,
check the function of the softeners and, if necessary, perform an extra rinse.
Also check the inlet conductivity with a conductivity reference meter.
2. Calibrate the inlet conductivity according to section 5.
3. Remove the rubber cap on the conductivity cell (35) and remove humidity that may be present.
4. If the rinse times are too short, the conductivity will continue to decrease during flushing until
the conductivity is below the alarm limit.
5. Perform cleaning according to section 5 in this manual. If the cleaning procedure does not
result in sufficient improvement, continue with 6. and 7.
6. Disassemble the membrane modules and change the internal o-rings. Refer to spare parts.
7. Replace the conductivity transmitter CX2, spare part no 25-11029.
8. Contact Gambro if the problem cannot be resolved.

3:12 HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 6. High cond.
Reason:
The purpose of the high conductivity limit for pure water is to alert the operator that the
maximum allowable conductivity has been exceeded.
The high conductivity limit should be based upon the initial feed water analysis and initial rejec-
tion characeristics of the reverse osmosis unit and shall correspond to the lowest conductivity at
which any contaminant reaches an unacceptable limit, i.e. outside the valid standard.
Factory setting: 100 µS/cm.
Normally a high conductivity alarm is preceded by a warning alarm (alarm no 5).

Possible causes:
1. The inlet water conductivity is for some reason elevated. The reason could be:
- insufficiently rinsed softeners in the pretreatment equipment
- increased conductivity in the raw water that is used
2. Incorrect calibration of the pure water conductivity.
3. Internal leakage in the pure water conductivity cell (35).
4. Insufficient rinse times in the disinfection program.
5. Fouled RO-membranes.
6. Internal leakage in the reverse osmosis module(s).
7. Faulty conductivity transmitter CX2.
8. Irreversible damaged RO-membranes because of elevated chlorine levels in the inlet water to
the WRO or excessive temperatures (>25°C) during disinfection with peracetic acid.

WRO action:
During operation: The system will issue this alarm and switch to flush to drain.
If the high cond.alarm is activated during start up the WRO will continue to flush to drain until
the quality goes below the limit or until the flushing is manually interrupted.
During disinfection and cleaning: Alarm will be issued after termination of the rinse cycle.
During rinse circulation: No alarm will be issued.
During stand by flush: The pure water will be diverted to drain, independent of WRO setting.

Corrective action:
1. Check that the inlet water conductivity is normal (is displayed under MAIN MENU). If not,
check the function of the softeners and, if necessary, perform an extra rinse.
Also check the inlet conductivity with a conductivity reference meter.
2. Calibrate the inlet conductivity according to section 5.
3. Remove the rubber cap on the conductivity cell (35) and remove humidity that may be present.
4. If the rinse times are too short, the conductivity will continue to decrease during flushing until
the conductivity is below the alarm limit.
5. Perform cleaning according to section 5 in this manual. If the cleaning procedure does not
result in sufficient improvement, continue with 6. and 7.
6. Disassemble the membrane modules and change the internal o-rings. Refer to spare parts.
7. Replace the conductivity transmitter CX2, spare part no 25-11029.
8. Contact Gambro if the problem cannot be resolved.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 7. Motorprotect WRO
Reason:
This alarm is issued in the following two situations with a delay time of 10 seconds:

1: You have tried to use the fast stepping function without first selecting it under Technician
info level 2.
2: The motor protector F1 for the main pump 33 has released.

Possible causes:
2a: Incorrect setting of the motor protector
2b:The main pump is consuming too much current on any of the phases
2c: The pump operates with only two of the three phases connected

CWP action:
Input X7 on the PLC lights up and the unit stops.

Corrective action:
1: Reset the alarm and then select fast stepping. When selected, an arrow appears in the top
right corner of the display. Deactivate after use (resets itself after 30 minutes).

2a. The motor protector (thermal relay F1 in the electrical diagrams) is placed in the electrical
control cabinet of the CWP. Check that the setting of the motor protector correspond to the motor
sign of the main pump (attached to the outside of the pump).
Reset the motor protector before restarting the unit.

2b, c. Trouble shooting of three-phase pumps

- Reset the motor protector.
- Measure the current on all three phases. The difference between the phases should be
maximum 10 %.
- If the current does not differ but is higher on all three phases than what is stated on the
mark sign of the motor, this indicates problems with the pump, i.e. it is working harder than it
should.
- If the current consumption on the three phases differs, check that all the electrical phases are
correctly connected. Measure the voltages between terminals L1, L2 and L3 to check that the
incoming voltage is correct. If this is the case, disconnect the cable to the motor and measure the
voltage between all three phases when the contactor is on. (The reason for disconnecting the
motor is that if it is connected, you will have voltage on all three phases even if you feed the
motor with only one phase, as the windings in the motor will induce voltage on the other two.)
- If you have correct voltage supplied to the motor and the current between the phases differs,
you probably have some electrical problems with the motor. Then do the following:
- Check that there is no damage to the motor cable.
- Measure the windings in the motor. The resistance (measured with a DC-instrument) between
two wires in the motor cable should not differ more than maximum 10% between the windings.
Normal value for a SP2A-pump is 10 - 20 Ω.
- Measure the insulation between each phase connection and earth with an insulation tester.
It must exceed 1 M Ω.

Note: The fast stepping function and motor protector alarm is connected to the same PLC input
(X7), fast stepping will automatically occur in case of a motor protector alarm if fast stepping has
been selected. A loop test will therefore be required in these situations.

3:14 HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 8. Low flow F6
Reason:
The pure water flow rate during rinse is supervised by a magnetic, pulse-giving impeller flow
meter (121) to insure sufficient rinse of the WRO and the loop. The WRO will stop and issue this
alarm if the flow rate is less than the set alarm limit for more than two consecutive minutes.
The alarm limit varies depending of model size and is set under Technician info level 2, refer to
23. on page 5:6. The following alarm limits are recommended:

WRO 111: 3 l/min

WRO 112: 6 l/min
WRO 113: 9 l/min
WRO 114: 9 l/min

Possible causes:
1. Flow control 122 on the pure water flush line is blocked by foreign material.
2. Any of the solenoid valves 36, 48, 54, 106 or 136 does not open properly.
3. The flow meter probe 121 is not functioning properly.
4. The flow transmitter FX1 in the electrical control box is not functioning properly.

WRO action:
The WRO will stop and issue this alarm. The WRO can be restarted after reset of the alarm.
It will stop again after two minutes if the flow rate still is below the alarm limit.

Corrective action:
Reset the alarm and restart the system in rinse mode. The function diagrams in section 6 gives
information about the function of the different components in the different rinse modes.

1. Check the Pure water flow rate on the display (MAIN MENU) and compare with the set
alarm limit. Also make a visual check in the flush funnel at the right hand side of the WRO.
2. Check the flow control (122) on the drain line for any obstructions.
3. Check input LED X0 on the PLC (should be flashing).
4. If the display shows 0 l/min and there is no pure water rinse flow to drain in the funnel, check
solenoid valves 36, 48, 54, 106 or 136 and their respective LED output on the PLC.
5. Check the function of the flow transmitter FX2 by measuring there is:
- 12 V DC between terminals 5 and 6
- 24 V DC between terminals 3 and 4
- a pulse signal between terminals 6 and 7
- a pulse signal between terminals 2 and 3
6. If there is no pulse signal between 6 and 7, check the flow meter probe 121.
7. If input X0 is flashing and the display shows 0 l/min, the PLC is probably faulty.
8. Both the flow transmitters (FX1, FX2 and FX3) and the flow meter probes (42, 121 and 51) are
identical and may be switched to check the function.
9. Contact Gambro if the fault cannot be rectified.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

3:15
 9. Low level chem
Reason:
The level switch (47) in the Dialox container indicates low level of Dialox.

Possible causes:
- The level in the container is below the level switch.
- Faulty level switch.

WRO action:
At initiation of any disinfection programme:
Disinfection cannot be initiated until the empty container has been replaced with a new container
with sufficient amount of disinfectant.
During loop disinfection:
1. The dosing pump(s) and main pump will stop. As a consequence, all dialysis machines that
have not finished their intake phase will issue alarm for insufficient water supply.
2. WRO time counting will freeze .
3. If the STOP button is pressed (within 30 minutes) the disinfection programme will be put
on hold until further action is taken.
4. If no action is taken, the disinfection programme will start after 30 minutes from where it
was before the alarm occurred. All pumps will, however, remain switched off during the
remaining time of the intake period.
During disinfection of WRO:
Alarm will be issued but the disinfection programme will continue. The dosing pump(s) will,
however, remain switched off.
After disinfection: The alarm can be reset after disinfection. It will, however, reoccur if a disin-
fection cycle is to be initiated without exchanging the empty container with a filled one.

Corrective action:
1. If the container is empty: Immediately replace the empty Dialox container with a filled
one. The alarm is rectified and the programme is manually restarted by pressing DISINF LOOP.

2. If this alarm is issued and the container still contains Dialox: Check the level switch.
Replace it if faulty.

Caution: Always make sure that there is sufficient amount of Dialox when initiating disinfection.

3:16 HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 10. Leakage
Reason:
The level switch 62 indicates that water has collected on the tray beneath the WRO.

Possible causes:
- Internal leakage in the WRO which has caused the water level on the tray to rise above the
level switch.
- Faulty level switch.

WRO action:
The CWP stops and the inlet solenoid valve 1 closes to avoid flooding.

Corrective action:
Check for leaks. If the leak is small the level sensor 62 can be temporarily lifted so that the alarm
goes out. The water that leaks out will be diverted to drain via the overflow drain connection from
the tray. The fault can then be corrected when no dialysis takes place.
For larger leaks that can not be corrected within reasonable time, discontinue operation. If
dialysis has to be continued, bypass the system.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

3:17
 17. Low flow F2
Reason:
A certain flow to drain must be maintained whenever the CWP is in operation to avoid fouling of
the membranes. Therefore, if the reject flow (measured by a magnetic, pulse-giving impeller flow
meter 42) goes below a certain set minimum value for a certain time, this alarm is issued.
During normal operation: If the flow goes below 0,2 l/min for more than four consecutive
minutes, MV138 opens fully to drain. If the flow still remains below 0,2 l/min for another 2
minutes, alarm no 17 will be issued and the machine will stop after additional 10 minutes.
During disinfection: Alarm no 17 will be issued if the flow rate goes below set alarm limit
(Tech. info level 2) for more than two consecutive minutes.

Possible causes:
1. The needle valve 41 on the reject line is incorrectly adjusted or blocked by some debris.
2. The motor valve MV138 is not functioning properly.
3. The inlet flow measuring circuit is not functioning properly.

CWP action:
The WRO can be restarted after reset of the alarm. It will stop again after two minutes if the flow
rate still is below the alarm limit.
The flow alarm function may be deactivated to enable operation and to simplify trouble shooting,
refer to 8. on page 5:4. Do not, however, forget to activate the alarm after correction of the fault.

Caution: Operation with insufficient reject flow for longer periods will damage the reverse
osmosis membranes!

Corrective action:
Reset the alarm and restart the unit.
1. Select CWP INFO. Check that the RO reject flow rate is correctly set (refer to page 4:12).
Adjust with valve 41.
2. If the display shows 0 l/min in reject flow rate, visually check in the drainage receptacle
during operation that there is a flow. If not, check the function of motor valve 138 by opening it
and closing it, refer to WS- control under Technical info level 2 for more information.
The motor valve can also be manually operated with an Allen (hexagon) key by removing the
black cylindrical cover on the motor valve. If required exchanged the motor valve.
3. Checking the reject flow measuring circuit:
Input X14 on the PLC should flash when the CWP is running.
If input X14 is not flashing:
Check the function of the flow transmitter FX2 by measuring that there is:
- 12 V DC between terminals 5 and 6
- minimum 20 V DC between terminals 3 and 4
- a pulse signal between terminals 6 and 7 (from flow sensor)
- a pulse signal between terminals 2 and 3 (to PLC)
If there is no pulse signal between 6 and 7, check the flow meter sensor 42 including electrical
connections.
If input X0 is flashing and the display shows 0 l/min:
- Check that there is minimum 20 Volt on the 24 V terminal on the PLC. If the voltage is lower
investigate the reason.
- If the voltage is ok, the PLC is probably faulty.
All flow transmitters FX and the flow meter probes 42 and 51 are identical. They may
therefore be switched to check the function.

 19. Loop leakage
Reason:
During rinse loop and stand-by operation, the pure water flow (121) and return flow (51) are
measured. This alarm is issued if comparisation between these two values differ more than set
alarm limit.

Possible causes:
1. A leak has occured in the distribution system.
2. Flow meter (51) in the return line and/or flow meter (121) on the pure water side is malfunc-
tioning.
3. Too narrow setting of the leakage alarm limit.
4. Consumption in the clinic.

WRO action:
The WRO will stop when this alarm is issued, can be restarted when the cause of the alarm has
been rectified.

Corrective action:
1. Check for leaks in the distribution system
2. Check functionality of flow meter 51 and 121, replace if faulty.
3. Check alarm limit setting (Leak, Tech.info.level 2).
4. Check if there is any consumption on the loop, e.g dialysis machine in rinse mode.

 21. Cond. rinse. H C4
Reason:
The conductivity in the return line from the clinic is measured by conductivity cell 144 during
rinse of loop. This alarm is issued if the conductivity is higher than set alarm limit during the last
two minutes of the rinse of the loop (WRO + Loop).

Possible causes:
- Incomplete rinse-out of disinfectant from the loop.
- Error in the conductivity measurement system.
- Incorrect calibration of the conductivity reading.
- Malfunctioning relay K28

WRO action:
The WRO will continue until started program is completed. The alarm will remain to inform the
operator.

Corrective action:

2. Check the function of conductivity cell 144, using an external reference instrument, refer to
Alarm no 22.
3. Check that the LED on relay K28 lights up when alternating between cond. in and cond. ret.
on the display.

3:20 HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 22. Cond. test. C4
Reason:
Dynamic test of the conductivity cell (144) in the return line from the clinic. During the first
minute of disinfection intake of the loop disinfection programme, the conductivity must be below
set limit. If not, this alarm will be issued.

Possible causes:
- The pure water conductivity in the return line is for some reason elevated.
- Malfunctioning conductivity transmitter CX1
- Malfunctioning conductivity cell 144
- Too narrow setting of alarm limit
- Faulty relay K28

WRO action:
The WRO will continue in operation, but the alarm will remain to inform the operator.

Corrective action:
1. Measure the conductivity from the last tap on the loop with an external reference instrument.
2. Check the conductivity transmitter CX1 by measuring there is:
- minimum 20 V between terminals 3 and 4
- connect a restistance of 1kΩ between terminals 7 and 8. The display should then read about
400 µS/cm (provided that the calibration factor is set at 100%, refer to Conductivity calibra-
tion in Service and maintenance.
3. Check the functionality of conductivity cell 144 in the return line.
4. Check the function of relay K28 by alternating between cond. in and cond. ret on the display.
When alternating, check that the LED on the relay lights up when cond. ret. is selected.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 23. Cond. intake. lo C2
Reason:
The pure water conductivity is continiously monitored during disinfection of the loop. This alarm is
issued if set alarm limit, based on conductivity, not is exceeded during the first period of the intake
phase of chemical disinfectant. This to verify that chemical disinfectant is present in the entire WRO.

Possible causes:
- Malfunctioning conductivity cell 35.
- Malfunctioning transmitter CX2.
- Malfunctioning dosing pump.

 25. Operat.indicat.
Reason:
In order to insure that the (optional) external operation indication lamp is not lit in other occasions
than when the WRO really is in operation, the operation signal is supervised by a relay (K21) and
an answer signal to the PLC. If the signal status does not correspond to that of the PLC-programme,
this alarm is issued and the WRO will stopped. Refer to section 6,Electrical diagrams.

Possible causes:
- Relay K21 is not functioning properly
- Poor connection between the PLC and relay K21
- Input X10 or output Y11 on the PLC is not functioning properly

WRO action:
The WRO will stop and cannot be operated until the problem has been rectified.

Corrective action:
1. Check relay K21.
2. Check the connections between relay K21 and the PLC.
3. Check the function of the PLC.

3:24 HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 26. Remote control
Reason:
This alarm is issued if there is an error in the remote key system (optional) to the CWP 100. Refer
to Electrical diagrams for more information.

Possible causes:
The PLC registers no signal or signal on more than one input connected to the remote key
switch. Remote key is in incorrect position. When the WRO is in Local mode, i.e. operated from
the operator´s panel, the remote key must be positioned at 0.

WRO action:
The WRO will stop and the remote control option cannot be used.

Corrective action:
1. Turn the remote key to position 0.
2. Acknowledge the alarm. If this cannot be done, check the electrical connections.
3. Go to Technician info level 2 and deactivate the remote control option if possible (see section 5).

27. Low battery PLC

Reason:
Insufficient voltage from the battery in the PLC.

Possible causes:
The battery voltage in the PLC battery has dropped below 3,0 Volt.

WRO action:
The WRO will issue this alarm at start up. The alarm can be reset but will occur again at the next
start up of the WRO.
If the battery is not changed within approx. one month, the operation of the WRO will be blocked.

Corrective action:
Exchange the battery according to the procedure on page 5:18.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

3:25
 28.Disinf. time
Reason:
This alarm will be issued when there is a time deviation in loop disinfection programme that
may result in insufficient rinse of the dialysis machines.

Possible causes:
A: The loop disinfection procedure has been initiated so late that the time channel "Rinse circu-
lation" is entered before the rinse phase "final rinse WRO" has gone to completion.
B. The set maximum delay time (see below) of the disinfection program has been exceeded.

The delay may be caused by:

- Water supply or power interruptions.
- Manual interruptions of the disinfection cycle.
- Manual restart of the disinfection intake period.

The max. delay time is set under Tec. info level 2 (Max. time delay). Preset: 15 minutes.

WRO action:
A: The WRO will issue the alarm when the preset Rinse circulation period should have been
entered. The disinfection procedure will, however, be finished according to the program.
The WRO will then enter the remaining part of the preset Rinse circulation period.
B: The alarm will be issued but the disinfection procedure will continue according to the program

Corrective action:
1. Reset the alarm.
2. Perform the normal tests after disinfection of the WRO and the loop.
3. Perform an extra rinse procedure of the dialysis machines.
4. After rinse: Perform a test for residual disinfectants on all dialysis machines according to
normal routines.

3:26 HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

 30.WS control
Reason:
The regulation of the reject flow rate is unstable and has not managed to find a stable condition
after one hour.

Possible causes:
1. Incorrect setting of the needle valve 41 on the reject line.
2. Error in the reject flow measuring system.
3. Malfunction of motor valve 138.
4. Incorrect parameter setting for the motor valve 138.
5. Error in the PLC or control relay.

WRO action:
If the reject flow has been below set minimum limit for more than 4 minutes, the motor valve will
get a signal to open fully to drain. Then the following can happen:

A: If the flow despite this does not exceed the warning limit within 2 minutes, flow alarm 17 will
be issued and the CWP will stop.
B: If the flow still is ok after 10 minutes the regulation system of the motor valve is activated
again. If scenario B is repeated 4 times, alarm 30 is issued.

Corrective action:
Go to MAIN MENU and switch off the water saving system by selecting MAN. The motor valve
will then open fully to drain, provided that the PLC and the control relay is functioning properly.
If the valve does not open when MAN is selected, it can be opened manually with an Allen (hexa-
gon) key. The screw is positioned behind the black rubber cap on side of the motor valve.
Then check if the drain flow is correct and adjust if necessary with needle valve 41.

Contact Gambro.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

3:27
 31. Cond. test. C2
Reason:
When a reverse osmosis unit is left standing for some time, dissolved salts will
migrate through the membrane and thus gradually increase the salt concentration on the pure
water side. At next start up, these salts will cause a momentary increase in the pure water
conductivity at start up.
This fact is used to check that the conductivity measurement system is responding.
In order to pass this test, the conductivity has to exceed the limit set at Test at some time during
the start up phase (provided that the CWP has been stopped for more than 10 minutes).
Otherwise alarm no 31. Cond. test. C2 will be issued the moment the RO unit switches to
operation.

Possible causes:
1. Incorrect setting of alarm limit. (Test, Technician info level 2)
1. Malfunctioning conductivity cell 35.
2. Malfunctioning conductivity transmitter.
3. Faulty relay K28

WRO action:
The WRO will continue in operation, but the alarm will remain to inform the operator.

Corrective action:
1. Check Test setting under Technician info level 2.
1. Check the functionality of conductivity cell 35 in pure water outlet, using an external conduc-
tivity reference meter, replace if faulty.
2. Check the function of the transmitter, refer to electrical diagrams.
3. Check the function of relay K28 by alternating between cond. in and cond. ret on the dis-
play. When alternating, check that the LED on the relay lights up when cond. ret. is selected.

 Internal alarms in the MAC terminal
You can also get error messages issued directly on the MAC operator´s terminal. These messages
appear in the upper left corner of the display and have no number. They inform about internal errors
in the MAC terminal and in the communication between the MAC and the PLC.

Comm Error
Reason
The communication with the PLC has failed.

Possible causes
1. Interruption in the cable between the MAC and the PLC.
2. Malfunction in the PLC.
3. Error in the communication port in the MAC or PLC.

CWP action
If the problem is in the MAC, in the cable or in the communication ports, the CWP will continue in
operation. All safety functions are controlled by the PLC. You can, however, probably not get any
information about the operation or operate the CWP from the MAC terminal.

Corrective action
1. Check the communication cable between the MAC and the PLC, including the connections.

2. Check that the PLC is functioning. Normal indication of the LED´s on the PLC is:

POWER ON
RUN ON
Batt.V OFF
PROG.E/CPU.EOFF

3. Try to switch off the power supply to the CWP and then switch it on again. If the communication
error message remains, you probably have to replace either the MAC or the PLC.

Note: If you need to stop the CWP and the STOP button does not work you have to switch off the
switch for the power supply on the wall.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

3:29
 SYSTEM ERROR
Reason
An error has occurred in the MAC terminal which makes it impossible for it to function correctly.

Possible cause
Read the additional information that is shown under the text SYSTEM ERROR on the display.

CWP action
If the problem is in the MAC terminal, the cable or in the communication ports, the CWP will
continue in operation. All safety functions are controlled by the PLC. You can, however, probably
not get any information about the operation or operate the CWP from the MAC terminal.

Corrective action
1. Note down the additional text on the display.
2. Check the communication cable between the MAC and the PLC, including the connections.
3. Check that the PLC is functioning. Normal indication of the LED´s on the PLC is:

POWER ON
RUN ON

PROG.E/CPU.E OFF

4. Press ENTER
5. Try to switch off the power supply to the CWP and then switch it on again. If the system error
message remains, you probably have to replace either the MAC or the PLC.

Note: If you need to stop the CWP and the STOP button does not work you have to switch off
the switch for the power supply on the wall.

Batt. Low
Reason
Low battery voltage in the MAC terminal.

Possible cause
The battery has not been changed within the specified time range. Life expectancy is 5 years.

CWP action
1. In the beginning the alarm does not effect the function of the CWP.
2. If the battery is not changed within approximately one month you may lose the memory content
next time the power to the CWP is interrupted. The CWP can not be restarted again until you
reload the program in the MAC terminal.

Corrective action
Exchange the battery according to the procedure in the Service and Maintenance section of this
manual.

 Start up after installation
Rinsing out the preservation solution
Caution: At delivery the system is filled with a
combined preservation and anti-freeze solution,
containing 1% formaldehyde and 20% glycerine.
This solution must be thoroughly rinsed out
before the system is put into normal operation.
Check that no residual formaldehyde can be
detected before connecting patients.
At delivery, the WRO Chem is in pause mode
in the cleaning programme, refer to function
diagram for Cleaning of WRO (section 6).
Initiation of rinse:
1. Open the inlet water valve and turn on the
electrical isolation switch for the RO unit.
The display will within 10 seconds show:
CLEANING WRO XX MIN
Press DIS WRO
2. Press DISINF WRO.
3. The system will start after a one minute
delay (to allow fill-up of the inlet tank) and
perform a complete internal rinse cycle which
will last 100 minutes (preset at delivery).
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00
Checking the electrical phase sequence
Note: If the electrical phases are not correctly
mounted, the pump will rotate in the reverse
direction, resulting in low pressure and insuffi-
cient product water flow.
4. To check the electrical phase sequence, check
that the reject flow rate during rinse
corresponds to what is stated on page 5:14. If
considerably lower, stop the unit, switch off
the isolation switch and change two of the
phases. Then restart and check again.
Test for residual formaldehyde
5. Collect a water sample in the funnel on the
right hand side of the WRO and, using a test
kit for residual formaldehyde, verify that
there is no formaldehyde present.
6. Follow the operating instructions on page 2:3
to finish disinfection.
Flushing the distribution system
7. Disconnect the return line from the dialysis
unit from the WRO and divert it to drain.
8. Start the WRO by pressing START.
9. Flush the distribution system for 1 - 2 hours.
During the flushing, check for leaks at all
connections in the loop.
10. Stop the WRO by pressing STOP and then
reconnect the return line to the WRO.
11. Restart the WRO and check for leaks once
more. Also check the pressure in the distribu-
tion system.
The pressure should be approx. 3 bar at the
outlet from the WRO when no consumption
takes place. Adjust if required with overflow
valve 52 (refer to fig. 3 and 5 in section 1).
At nominal capacity the pressure should be
minimum 1,5 bar at the last tap.
12. Put a container of Dialox on the tray in the
WRO and insert the pick up tube and level
switch into the container. Adapt the plug so
it fits into the hole in the container.

Caution: First study this manual in detail before
attempting to change any of the set values in the
program.
The WRO is programmed at delivery according to
what is stated in the setting table on page 4:10.
Also refer to section 5, Technical information
and the function diagrams in section 6.
The values marked * on page 4:10 are program-
med as follows:
Reject and Pure water are set according to size
of the WRO. Refer to 22. and 23. on page 5:6.
Disinfection of the WRO -

Refer to page 5:11 and Function diagram for
disinfection of WRO in section 6.
The presets for disinfection of WRO has been
programmed from factory and does normally not
need to be changed, unless the setting of the
dosing pump is altered. Check that the
consumption of Dialox for disinfection of the
WRO alone corresponds to the values in table 1.
Fig. 11 shows the capacity of the dosing pump as
a function of the outlet pure water pressure from
the CWP pressure.

 Disinfection of the loop -
Setting of parameters
The loop disinfection program must be adapted
for the specific dialysis unit. Below you will find
a step-by-step instruction to determine the
required total injection time for Dialox. Please
also read the example that follows after the
instruction.
Refer to the function diagram in section 6 and
fig. 11 - fig. 14 on pages 1:18 - 1:20!
Initial setting of dosing pump
In order to obtain optimum concentration of
Dialox in the disinfection solution, the outlet
pure water flow is reduced during the
disinfectant intake phase. The outlet pressure
from the WRO then also will drop. The
approximate outlet flow rates for the different
model sizes during disinf intake are shown in
table 2 below.
Table 2 is used as a guideline for the initial

Setting of Contact time

Extended contact time may be desired for opti-

mum disinfection of the distribution system. The
contact time can therefore be extended up to
9999 minutes. The membranes in the WRO
does. however, not withstand extended periods
of exposure to Dialox, refer to the caution below.
Therefore, regular flushing of the WRO alone
is mandatory. Minimum flushing intervals that
can be set is 3 minutes every 60 minutes during
the contact period, see 11. below.

Caution: Membrane life expectancy may be

reduced if the total contact time per week
exceeds one hour.

10. Setting the contact time:

The available contact time is the time until
the rinse seqence has to be initiated (see
below) in order to get the WRO and the loop
rinsed out to allow for rinse of the AK100´s.
Set this time at CONTACT, Total time.

1: Automatic start of the WRO

The WRO can be programmed for automatic
start at a preselected time of day (11. page 5:4).
Desired starting time is set under any of the
time channels START OPERATION 1 or 2.

Note: Because of the way the time channels are

set up, you always have to enter a period, also
when using the autostart function. The period
should be very short (five minutes). The WRO
will then start at the initiation of the period.

Note: If disinfection has been performed, the

WRO will not start automatically although
the autostart function has been activated. The
reason for this is that a test for residual
disinfectant must always be performed before
the WRO is put into operation after disinfection.

2: Automatic stop of the WRO

The WRO can be programmed for automatic
stop at a preselected time of day (11. page 5:4).
Desired time is set under any of the time

Rinse circulation - example
In a unit equipped with AK 100 monitors, central
chemical disinfection is going to be performed
Monday and Thursday nights on a weekly
basis. The personnel arrives at 07:00 in the
morning the next day. The auto rinse should
therefore be ready before that time, say 06:30.
Instructions:
1. Program the AK100 dialysis machines for
auto rinse the mornings after central
chemical disinfection, expected ready time
06:30 *). Refer to the manual for AK100.
*) Because of the way the program is set up, the
AK100´s will go into auto rinse 25 min. earlier
than calculated time. This should be taken into
account when programming the AK 100´s, i.e.
the ready time should be set at 06:55
2. The rinse cycle in the auto rinse program in
AK100 will last 26 minutes. The WRO
therefore has to start rinse circulation by
latest 06:00. A suitable rinse circulation period
would therefore be 05:50 - 06:50.
3. Enter any of the time channels Rinse
circulation according to the info above.
4. Then, at any free line, with the curser in

 Helpful hints for service
Total stop and fast stepping are helpful tools
for the technician when working on the WRO.
Caution: A test of the water in the loop is
required after a total stop has been performed or
the fast stepping function has been used. It is
the responsibility of the technican to ensure that
no chemicals remain in the system.
Refer to loop test below.
1. Total stop
A Total stop will reset the PLC programme. It
is useful in certain service situations, i.e. to
interrupt an ongoing disinfection cycle.
To perform a Total stop:
- Enter Technician info, level 2 (refer to 5:3).
- Change from fast stepping no to yes
- Open the electrical control box on the WRO.
- Connect a jumper between terminals 69 and 70
(input X7 lights up).
- Press STOP and remove the jumper.
2. Fast stepping of program
Using this function decreases the sequence
times in the program by a factor of 60, i.e. one
second equals one minute. To perform fast
stepping:
1. Activate the fast stepping function under
Technician info level 2 (refer to 2. on page
5:3). An arrow then appears in the upper
right corner of the display.
2. Open the electrical control box on the WRO.
3. Hold a jumper between terminals 69 and 70.
The programme will run faster as long as the
jumper is connected.
Note: Only counters in the program will be
affected, not delays set with normal timers.
Note: Alarm no 7, Motorprotect.WRO will be
issued (after 10 seconds delay) if you try to use
the fast stepping function without first
activating it under Tec. info level 2.
Note: The fast stepping function will be
deactivated if not used for 30 minutes. It can also
be deactivated under Technician info level 2.
5:12
Loop test
The safety functions in the WRO Chem will be
overruled in the following situations:
1: When a total stop has been performed.
2: After using the fast stepping function.
An extra test of the water in the loop will
therefore always be necessary when these
functions have been used, before the system can
be put into normal operation again.
The text "LOOP TEST REQUIRED!!" will flash
on the display until the test has been confirmed
to remind about the need for an extra test of the
water in the loop.
The WRO will operate intermittently until
the test has been confirmed (four minutes to the
loop, one minute to drain) to make use of the
dialysis machines impossible.
Caution: It is the responsibility of the technician
to ensure, by testing, that no chemicals remain
in the WRO or in the loop.
Performing the loop test
While the system is running, collect a water
sample in the last tap in the loop and verify by
testing that there are no residues of the
disinfectant chemicals present in the water.
Confirmation of the loop test
The WRO is put into normal operation by
entering the operator´s code, followed by
ENTER.
Note: Confirmation of the loop test has to be
done while the WRO is running.
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00
 Conductivity monitoring
General
The conductivity is measured at three positions
within the WRO Chem (refer to fig 3 & 4 in
chapter 1):
1. The inlet water conductivity (C1) is measured
by conductivity cell 32.
2. The pure water conductivity (C2) is measured
by conductivity cell 35.
3. The return water conductivity (C4) is
measured by conductivity cell 144.
Inlet water conductivity (C1)
The inlet water conductivity (C1) is displayed
under MAIN MENU (refer to section 1). The
conductivity values of the inlet and pure water
are used to calculate the salt removal effiency of
the reverse osmosis unit, the rejection rate,
which is also displayed under MAIN MENU.
Pure water conductivity (C2)
The pure water conductivity (C2) is displayed
under MAIN MENU. It has a number of
functions concerning the operation of the CWP.
Return water conductivity (C4)
The return water conductivity (C4) is dis-
played under MAIN MENU. Move cursor to the
arrow right of cond. in and press ENTER, the
display will change to cond. ret. It has a number
of functions concerning the operation of the
CWP.
Calibration of conductivity reading
The conductivity depends on the temperature of
the water and increases with approx. 2% per °C.
The conductivity measuring system is calibrated
at a temperature of 10°C at the factory.
Adjustment may therefore be required if the
actual water temperature differs significantly.
Conductivity calibration is done under
CALIBRATION COND. in Tec. info level 2.
Refer to page 5:6 for more information.
Required equipment
An external reference instrument, designed for
measurement of conductivity in water.
Required measuring range: 1 - 2000 µS/cm.
Procedure A and B, inlet/ pure water
Go to MAIN MENU and start test operation
WRO. (refer to 14. on page 1:15). Wait until the
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00
pure water conductivity has stabilized (approx. 5
minutes).Then go to CALIBRATION COND.
under Technician info level 2 (page 5:6)
A) Calibration of inlet water reading
1. Collect a sample of the inlet water in a clean
container in a sample valve just before the
WRO.
2. Measure the conductivity of the inlet water,
using an external reference conductivity
instrument.
3. Change the % value at 26. on page 5:6
(Calibr. cond., Inlet water) until the new
reading (is displayed at the bottom of the
display) corresponds with the reading on the
reference meter.
B) Calibration of pure water reading.
1. Collect a sample of the pure water in a clean
container in the drain funnel on the right
hand side of the WRO.
2. Measure the conductivity of the pure water
using an external reference conductivity
instrument.
3. Change the % value at 28. on page 5:6
(Calibr. cond., Pure water) until the new
reading (is displayed at the bottom of the
display) corresponds with the reading on the
reference meter.
Procedure C, return water
Go to MAIN MENU and start test operation
LOOP. (refer to 15. on page 1:15). Wait until the
pure water conductivity has stabilized (approx. 5
minutes).Then go to CALIBRATION COND.
under Technician info level 2 (page 5:6)
C) Calibration of return water reading
1. Collect a sample of the return water in a
clean container from the last tap on the
loop.
2. Measure the conductivity of the return water,
using an external reference conductivity
instrument.
3. Change the % value at 27. on page 5:6
(Calibr. cond., Ret. water) until the new
reading (is displayed at the bottom of the
display) corresponds with the reading on the
reference meter.
5:13
 Maintenance
Changing container for disinfectant
If the level switch in the solution container
indicates low level when a disinfection cycle is to
be initiated, alarm no 9, Low level chem., will
be issued. The cycle cannot be initiated until the
empty container has been replaced with a filled
one. If the level goes low during a disinfection
cycle an alarm will also be issued, but the pro-
gram will continue as normal.
Caution: Before initiating a central chemical
disinfection including the dialysis machines,
always make sure that there is sufficient amount
of disinfectant in the container.
To change container:
1. Open the door on the front. Lift up the level
switch/pick-up tube arrangement from the
empty container.
Caution: use protective glasses.
2. Remove the empty container and replace it
with a filled one.
3. Insert the cap with level switch/pick-up tube
into the new container and close the door.
Checking the proportioning pump
Accuracy:
The volume of Dialox that has been used during
the disinfection cycle should be recorded by
making a mark on the container and compare it
with the normal consumption. This is an easy
way to check the proportioning pump.
Leakage:
Check the pressure line and the dosing
connectors every two months for leaks or cracks.
Exchange if required.
Battery change in operator´panel & PLC
The batteries in the operator´s panel and the PLC
should be changed every five years.
PLC-unit: refer to page 5:18
Operator´s panel: the battery is placed behind
the cover at the back of the terminal.
5:14
Checking the reject flow rate
The setting of valve 41 must be checked
regularly (motor valve open fully to drain).
Incorrect reject flow setting may lead to
increased fouling of the RO - membranes. Once a
week is recommended the first month. The
intervals can then be extended based upon
experience.
The table below shows the required reject flow
rates for different sizes.
The higher values are applicable for water with
high fouling properties or temperature. Adjust if
required with valve 41.
model reject flow rates, l/min
WRO 111 3-6
WRO 112 7 - 10
WRO 113 9 - 13
WRO 114 12 - 15
Adjusting the reject flow rate:
1. Disengage the water saving control system.
The motor valve then opens fully to drain.
2. Check the reject flow rate on the display.
3. If adjustment is necessary, first close the
valve to a lower value than the recommended
setting, then slowly adjust until the correct
setting is obtained.
Note: After adjustment of needle valve (41),
make sure that the locking nut is firmly
attached.
4. Activate water saving control again.
Checking the pure water conductivity
measurement system
The pure water conductivity measurement
system must be checked on a regular basis with
a reference conductivity meter, intended for
measurement of conductivity in pure water. The
frequency of this conductivity control should be
based upon local rules.
Checking the conductivity:
During operation, collect a pure water sample
from the first tap in the clinic. Measure the
conductivity with a reference meter and compare
with the value shown on the display. If the
values do not correspond, calibrate the pure
water reading on the CWP, see previous page.
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00
 Setting of recirculation flow rate
Part of the reject flow is recirculated to the
suction side of the main pump in order to
maintain a high flow velocity in the reverse
osmosis membrane modules. The recirculation
flow is regulated with valve 71 according to the
following instructions.

Note: The recirculation valve 71 must always be

partly opened, at least half a turn.

1. Mount a 0 - 25 bar pressure gauge (spare part

no 25-10159) in the threaded connection on
the upper left hand side on the upper frame).
2. Start the RO -unit in operation.
3. Adjust the outlet pump pressure with valve 71
until it corresponds to the value in the table
below.

model pump pressure, bar

WRO 111 15-18

WRO 112 12-15
WRO 113 14-15
WRO 114 12-14

Checking sensor functions

A function check of the sensors in the system
should be performed every six months.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

5:15
 Cleaning
Cleaning may be required on a periodic basis
if the reverse osmosis membranes become fouled
by contaminants in the water.
WRO Chem therefore has a special cleaning
programme. It is based on the disinfection
programme for the WRO and therefore the time
settings are identical. Refer to Technician´s
block diagram 2 and the function diagram
for cleaning in section 6.
Cleaning with citric acid is recommended if a
significant increase in the pure water conduc-
tivity should occur. This could be caused by
mineral scaling, such as the carbonates of
calcium or magnesium.
Recommended amount of citric acid:
0,5 - 1,0 kg (depending of WRO size) of solid citric
acid is slowly added directly into the inlet tank
of WRO at step 5 in the procedure below.
Cleaning with alcaline cleaning agents may
be required if the inlet water contains high levels
of organic material.
Example of alcaline cleaning agents:
- 0,1 % solution of sodium hydroxide and the
disodium salt of EDTA. Dissolve 20 (111), 25
(112), 30 (113) or 35 (114) grams each of these
salts in 2 liters of water. Slowly add this
solution to the WRO during step 5 in the
procedure below.
Caution: Sodium hydroxide is very corrosive.
Read safety instructions before use!
- Ultrasil 10 (Henkel) is an alternative alcaline
cleaning agent. Please contact Gambro.
5:16
Cleaning procedure

PRESS DISINF WRO!! will then be
displayed on the line above Cleaning.
3. Press DISINF WRO twice.
4. Open the needle valve 41 on the RO-reject
line to improve the circulation flow.
Reject recirculation valve 71 may also be
opened to further increase the flow velocity in
the membrane module(s).
Note: Readjustment of valve 71 after cleaning
requires a pressure gauge. Refer to section 5,
Setting of recirculation flow rate.
5. Press DISINF WRO again.
The main pump will now start and circulate
water internally, back to the inlet water tank
6. Remove the cover on the inlet water tank and
slowly add the required amount of cleaning
agent. The main pump will now run
continously until the Contact period is
finished. It will then stop and show: "Open
the drain valve on WRO. Press DIS WRO".
7. Press DISINF WRO to initiate rinse.
8. Readjust the reject flow rates to the normal
value with valves 41 and 70. Refer to p. 5:11
9. Check the performance of the WRO. If
necessary, perform another cleaning cycle
with an alternative cleaning agent.
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00
 Preservation
If the system is to be taken out of operation for
shorter periods of time, i.e. up to one week, the
built-in intermediate flushing in combination
with weekly disinfection will keep the system in
good condition.

For even longer periods of no operation, preserva-

tion of the system with a 1% formaldehyde
solution should be performed.
If freezing may occur, glycerine should also be
added to the preservation solution.

The reject flow rate leaving the reverse osmosis membrane modules is set WS-control:
during test operation or start up (motor valve fully open) with needle 0 AUT (aut)
valve 41 according to Maintenance in this chapter. It then stays constant.

Note: The reject flow rate at fully open motor valve must be checked on a
regular basis! Refer to Maintenance in this chapter.

A minimum reject flow to drain must always be maintained during periods of

low pure water consumption, to lead away heat that is produced by the pump.
This limit has been preset in the program, refer to Advanced settings.

Entering the setting and control level:

- Go to Technician info level 2 (refer to Technician info level 2 in this chapter).
- Move the cursor downwards with the arrow buttons to WS control.
- Put the cursor at -> and press ENTER.

1. Flow indication
In order to simplify setting and control of the water saving function, the actual flow rates are
continuously shown on the display:
F1 = Inlet water
F2 = Reject flow rate from the RO - unit
F4 = Return flow rate from the clinic.
F5 = Actual consumption of pure water in the clinic.

2. Control mode for the motor valve

a: Automatic control:
Normally the parameters that have been set in the program (refer to below) will automatically
control the operation of the motor valve. This is indicated by AUT on the display.
Signal for open or close from the PLC to the valve is indicated by a black square to the right of
resp. command.

b: Manual control:
1. Place the cursor at AUT .
2. Press ENTER. The text changes to MAN.
3. To open the valve: Put the cursor at open and press ENTER (open changes to OPEN).
The black square after OPEN confirms that a signal is issued from the PLC to the valve.
To deactivate the OPEN signal, put the cursor at OPEN and press ENTER. OPEN then
reverts to open and the valve remains in the present position.
4. To close the valve: Put the cursor at close and press ENTER (close changes to CLOSE).
The black square after CLOSE confirms that a signal is issued from the PLC to the valve.
To deactivate the CLOSE signal, put the cursor at CLOSE and press ENTER. CLOSE then
reverts to close and the valve remains in the present position.

3. WCF value
WCF is short for Water Conversion Factor. Actual WCF value is displayed here.

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

5:20
 4. Recovery (WCF) set
WCF is short for Water Conversion Factor and represents the percentage of the inlet water that is
converted to pure water. Here you set the desired WCF. The set value and actual value at 3. on
previous page should correspond during normal operation.
Factory set value WRO Chem: 67 %

Please contact Gambro before changing the water conversion factor.

Caution: Too high WCF will increase the risk for fouling of the membranes in the CWP.

5. Controller set: Entrance to the advanced setting level for the water saving function.

Note: This level is only intended for Gambro technicians.

To enter this level, put the curser at -> and press ENTER, enter Technician code 3 and press

1. Min flow V138 During periods of low pure water consumption, the min. flow regulation
reset system will maintain the reject flow to drain between the flow rates set at
this position.

2. Hysteresis WCF Variation of the actual value (±) from the WCF set value inside which no
adjustments of the position of the value is made.
Recommended set value: 1%

3. P-factor The pulse from the regulation system to open or close the motor valve is
proportional to the deviation from the WCF set value. This proportional-
ity factor determines the size of the pulse increase when the deviation
increases.
Recommended set value: 1

4. Pulse length The minimum duration of a pulse (with no compensation for deviation and
p-factor).

5. Pulse cycle The time between pulses when the system is in regulating mode.
Recommended set value: 10 seconds

6. Start pulse The motor valve closes when the CWP is stopped. At start of operation, an
extended pulse is issued to open the valve into operating range. The dura-
tion of this pulse is set here.
Recommended set value: 5 seconds

2. At initiation of disinfection, the start of the main pump is delayed 40 seconds to allow the dosing pump to fill up the dosing line. Save new values no/yes (no)
The delay of the start of the pump is 10 seconds in all other cases.
3. Valve 136 has a drilled hole which allows a certain flow also when the valve is closed. It is closed during disinfectant intake to
reduce flow into the loop during this phase. The function of valve 136 is identical to valve 48 in all other modes of operation.
4. The return from the loop is diverted to drain via valve 54 during the time set here (1 - 240 minutes).
5. Integration of the WRO in the disinfection cycle by opening valve 106 (1 - 240 minutes).
6. If dos. conn. error or low level chem occurs during disinf. intake, main- and dosing pumps stop and time counting freezes. If the fault is not corrected or
STOP is not pushed within 30 min., the program restarts from where it was. The pumps will stay switched off during the remaining part of disinf. intake.
7. At the end of the intake period, valve 48 closes and valve 36 opens for 3 seconds to disinfect the drain line. Valve 36 then also closes but the main pump
continues to run for another 7 seconds to fill the overflow line in the WRO with disinfection solution.
8. Contact period for the loop (0 - 9999 minutes). To avoid excessive membrane contact times, the WRO can be set to run periodically to rinse out the
disinfectant solution from the WRO. The pause periods can be set between 10 - 60 minutes, run time between 3 - 10 minutes.

16. Valve 36 closes for 3 seconds every minute.
17. The valves stay open for two minutes after a stop to relieve pressure in the system.
18. Intermittent flush of the system after loop disinfection. This flush always includes the loop, provided that the cond. is approved (see 19.).
19. Valves 48, 136 and 54 opens after 30 sec. if the cond. is below the high cond. alarm limit. If the cond. is above this limit, valve 36 stays open.

Central Chemical disinfection

HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00 9: Appendix

 Central chemical disinfection
Integrating the dialysis machines in the loop disinfection procedure
General
Caution: The information below is general. For
full information about the function of the differ-
ent dialysis machines, please refer to the respec-
tive Operator´s and Service manuals.
The WRO Chem offers the possibility to inte-
grate the dialysis machines type Gambro in the
loop disinfection procedure. This is called cen-
tral chemical disinfection or integrated
chemical disinfection. This will also allow
disinfection of the connection hoses between the
loop and the dialysis machines.
Caution: The AK 90S does not support central
chemical disinfection.
The AK 90S can, however, still be run together
with the WRO Chem in a mode that is described
below.
AK 95, AK 100, AK 100 ULTRA, AK 200 and
AK 200 ULTRA all have a preset denominated
Central Chem. They also have a ”real time
clock” and an ”auto rinse” feature which enables
presetting of a desired ”ready time”, i.e. when
the machine should be rinsed out and ready for
dialysis.
Caution: Only disinfectants based upon perace-
tic acid are approved for use in the WRO Chem!
The WRO Chem has been validated with Dialox,
which is a peracetic acid based disinfectant.
Warning: The dialysis machines must always
be tested before initiation of dialysis to verify
that they are free from disinfectant !
Warning: If a dialysis machine is started while
disinfectant is present in the loop, a complete
rinse cycle with clean water must be performed
before using that machine for dialysis.
9. Appendix
Central chemical disinfection in
AK 100, AK 200 and AK 200 ULTRA.
Caution: For full information about central
chemical disinfection on AK 100, AK 100
ULTRA, AK 200 and AK 200 ULTRA, please
refer to the respective manuals!
These machines can be preset for central chem,
which means that the pick-up tube does not have
to be extracted from the heating vessel during
the intake phase.
Three predefined disinfection programs can be
preset in the information display (shown when
pressing the disinfection button). By default, this
is Peracetic acid, Hypochlorite and Formaldehyde.
If presetting of the machine for Central disinfec-
tion is desired, one of the other programs must
be removed and replaced by Central disinfection.
Assume that Central disinfection is to be in-
stalled in position three. Use external preset
and change the parameter S217. Default value is
0 (Formaldehyde). Change this to 4 (Central
disinfection). The contact time for this position is
defined in S219. Default is 20 minutes. This can
be changed to 1 minute since a contact time will
be obtained during the flush of the CWP loop
anyway. Preset parameter S218 (Concentration
of disinfectant) is not valid when Central disin-
fection is used in this position, so it may be left
as it is.
When the disinfectant intake phase has been
initiated on the WRO Chem and the disinfectant
has reached the first dialysis machine in the
loop, start this machine, press the Disinfectant
button, choose Central disinfection and then
press the Disinfectant button for three seconds.
The machine will now make a short drain and
then start the central disinfection program.
When the fillup phase is completed (this takes
approx. three minutes for AK 100 and AK 200,
6-7 minutes for AK 100 ULTRA and AK 200
ULTRA ), the attention messages ”CENTRAL
CHEM DISINF. COMPLETED, Press Rinse/
Drain” will be issued.
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00

Two alternative actions can now be performed:
Alternative 1.
1. Wait until the entire loop disinfection pro-
gram of the WRO Chem has been completed
according to the Operation instructions for
the WRO Chem.
2. After confirmation that the loop is free
from residual disinfectant:
Press the Rinse/Drain button.The machine
will then do a Post Chemical Rinse program.
Alternative 2
Switch off the machine with the ON/OFF
button and let the machine do an AUTO
RINSE procedure later on, i.e. when Rinse
circulation is in progress in the WRO Chem.
Please refer to the manual for WRO Chem.
Note! If the second alternative is selected, make
sure that the AUTO RINSE function is set and
activated (AUTO RINSE button steady lit )
before starting the Central chemical disinfec-
tion program. Otherwise the program will not
allow Auto rinse.
Caution: Always perform a test to verify that
the dialysis fluid is free from residual chemicals
before initiating dialysis.
HCEN9315 Rev. 10. 00
Central chemical disinfection mode in
AK 95
As for AK 100 AK 200 and AK 200 ULTRA, the
AK 95 can also be preset to run ”central chemi-
cal disinfection”:
Set the preset ”Central chem” to TRUE in one
of the three different Chemical disinfection
positions (Alt 1, 2 or 3). The machine will then
take in the entire disinfectant agent through
INVA. Set the corresponding Dwell time to
"Forever". This will stop the machine after
fillup (approximately 3 minutes), when the
machine is put in logical OFF (unlit ON/OFF
button).
Also for the AK 95, two alternative actions can
now be performed:
Alternative 1.
1. Wait until the entire loop disinfection pro-
gram of the WRO Chem has been completed
according to the Operation instructions for
the WRO Chem.
2. After confirmation that the loop is free
from residual disinfectant:
Press the Rinse/Drain button.The machine
will then do a Post Chemical Rinse program.
Alternative 2
Switch off the machine with the ON/OFF
button and let the machine do an AUTO
RINSE procedure later on, i.e. when Rinse
circulation is in progress in the WRO Chem.
Please refer to the manual for WRO Chem.
This will switch off the machine after fill-up
(approx three minutes), when the machine is put
in logical OFF (unlit ON/OFF button).
Use the AUTO RINSE function to rinse out the
machine in the morning, when the CWP is ready
and delivering fresh water.
Note: After initiation of the disinfection program
of the AK 95, the operator has to wait for one
minute before putting the machine in logical
OFF. If the operator immediately switches the
machine to OFF, the machine might switch off
instead of running the complete fill-up.
Note! If the second alternative is selected, make
sure that the AUTO RINSE function is set and
activated (AUTO RINSE button steady lit).
before starting the Central chemical disinfec-
tion program. Otherwise the program will not
allow Auto rinse.
9: Appendix
 Information about AK 90S and
WRO Chem
Note: The procedure below is only used to clean
the tube between AK 90S and the wall, not to
disinfect the machine.

The AK 90S does not support central chemical

disinfection. However, in order to disinfect the
hose between the water distribution system and
the machine the following procedure can be used:

1. Start the AK 90S chemical disinfection pro-

gram, WITHOUT removing the B-concen-
trate intake. This will start the disinfection
program, but ”hold” the program for the
operator to remove the B-concentrate intake.
The concentrate preset should be set at
”Conc”, not ”Work” (in order to open INVA
during fill-up).

2. Initiate loop disinfection of the WRO

Chem. Wait until the disinfectant has reached
the first dialysis machine in the loop.

3. Disconnect the B-concentrate intake from the

AK 90S (remove the intake only the few
millimeters necessary for the machine to
detect that the pick-up tube has been discon-
nected). The machine will now begin to pull
disinfectant from the loop.

4. Wait until the fill-up phase is completed (7

minutes), and then reconnect the B-concen-
trate intake to the machine.

5. Correlate the dwell time of the AK 90S with

the program of the WRO Chem, in order to let
the CWP rinse out the loop before the disinfec-
tion rinse program is initiated.

Warning: Always test the AK 90S for chemical

residues after the rinse has been completed.
