The AquaB LITE is a modular reverse osmosis unit intended for use with hemodialysis systems to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from the water used for treating hemodialysis patients or related therapies. This device is intended to be a component in a complete water purification system and is not a complete water treatment system.The reverse osmosis unit must be preceded by pre-treatment devices, and may need to be followed by post-treatment devices as well, to meet current AAMI/ANSI/ISO and Federal (U.S.) standards.
An assembly of devices designed to remove unwanted contaminants (bacteria, viruses, chemicals, dissolved substances) from water using osmotic pressure applied to one side of a selective membrane. The system removes ions, large molecules (e.g. proteins, glucose, urea, salts) and other particles from solution by forcing water at high pressure through a membrane containing pores just big enough (e.g., 0.0005 microns) to permit passage of small molecules and water, whilst the contaminants are flushed to waste.
