Z Series RO System by GE Osmonics
1.1 The Manual
This manual has been prepared to provide the operator with information and instructions
regarding the installation, use, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the GE Osmonics Z
Series Reverse Osmosis System.
CAUTION:
When used as a medical device, Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order
of a physician per CFR 801.109(b)(1).
The manual has been written in narrative form supplemented with schematics and
drawings for clarification. The operator can perform most procedures mentioned in this
manual. Any exceptions will be clearly identified by a qualifying statement.
1.2 Safety Summary
Words in BOLD CAPITAL letters are used to identify key safety or qualifying
statements. A list of all symbols and abbreviations is located at the end of this chapter.
This safety summary does not contain all of the safety statements in the manual. Other
safety statements are included within the manual text and are enhanced and defined as
follows:
WARNING:
Statements identifying conditions or practices that could result in personal injury or loss
of life.
CAUTION:
Statements identifying conditions or practices that could result in equipment or other
property damage.
NOTE:
Statements that provide further clarification.
READ THIS MANUAL:
Prior to operating or servicing this device, this manual must be read and understood.
Keep this and other associated manuals for future reference and for new operators or
qualified service personnel. A note sheet is provided at the end of each chapter for
operators to make notations that may be valuable to other users.
DO NOT REMOVE COVERS OR PANELS:
To avoid electrical shock hazard, do not remove covers or panels when power is supplied
to the device. Do not operate the device when covers or panels are removed.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Connect this device to a proper ground connection in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. DO NOT under any circumstances remove the ground wire or ground
prong from any power plug. DO NOT use an extension cord with this equipment. Keep
the surface under the RO free of water.
1238339b – 16Oct03 1 - 3 General Information

Z Series RO System by GE Osmonics
USE PROPER POWER CONNECTIONS:
Use proper wiring and connection methods to satisfy hospital electrical codes.
DEVICE LABELING:
Do not under any circumstances; remove any Caution, Warning or any other descriptive
labels from the devices until the conditions warranting the label are eliminated.
DO NOT OPERATE IN A FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE:
To avoid fire or explosion, do not operate this device in an explosive environment or near
flammable anesthetics.
1.3 Applications
The Z Series Reverse Osmosis (RO) System is designed to purify water by forcing water
through a semi-permeable RO membrane. Water purified by reverse osmosis has had
approximately 95% of the dissolved ions and approximately 99% of most other
contaminants removed. The purified water, referred to as product water or permeate, is
suitable for hemodialysis applications when the quality is equal to or exceeds AAMI
standards.
1.4 Contraindications
WARNING:
GE Osmonics RO systems are not designed, sold, or intended for use in producing
water for injection.
Furthermore, GE Osmonics RO systems are not intended to be used outside of the device
specifications and limitations, as outlined in this manual and other related materials.
1.5 Environmental Considerations
Prior to the installation of the Z-Series RO System, it will be necessary to provide
utilities and create an environment suitable for the trouble free operation of the RO
system and its accessories.
POWER:
The Z-Series unit operates on either single-phase or three-phase power with a variety of
voltages being available. Histories of power failure, power surges, and low line voltages
should be noted and reported to the manufacturer or their agent as they may create
adverse conditions for the operation of equipment.
DRAIN:
A drain outlet is required by the RO system. The drain must have a minimum capacity of
nine gallons per minute of continuous flow for as long as and as often as the RO is
operating. A 2” pipe with a 1/8” per foot slope and a 1” minimum air gap normally
satisfies the waste flow requirement.
