Values on the right are the readings of current values.
7.1.1 BACKGROUND OF TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENTS
This is a topic that is frequently misunderstood and often neglected in haemodialysis.
A solution’s conductivity will change according to temperature. With increasing temperatures, the measured solution’s
conductivity will increase too. To achieve meaningful measurement results, the conductivity value displayed is compensated
to 25°C. In other words, the display is always converted to a solution temperature of 25°C. The temperature coefficient which
the displayed value is compensated with is expressed as %/°C. Unfortunately however, different solutions also have different
temperature coefficients. To achieve an exact reading, the instrument will have to be adjusted to the temperature coefficient of
the current solution. The commonly used temperature coefficient for dialysates is 2.07 %/K. For naturally occurring solutions,
a value of 1.97 %/°C is frequently used. Many measuring devices not specially tailored to dialysis will use this value.
Dynamic Temperature Compensation
Dynamic temperature compensation is achieved by calculating a temporary temperature coefficient for the measured
temperature using a set of two coefficients for 25°C and 37°C respective. This temporary temperature coefficient is then
applied to the actual measured conductivity to calculate the conductivity at the common reference temperature. The following
table shows the usage of dynamic temperature coefficients applied to a NaCl solution of 14mS/cm.

Temperature Conductivity 14 mS/cm NaCl Temperature Coefficient Conductivity Readout
Without Compensation
25 °C 14,00 mS/cm 2,000 %/K 14,00 mS/cm
31 °C 15,71 mS/cm 2,035 %/K 14,00 mS/cm
37 °C 17,48 mS/cm 2,070 %/K 14,00 mS/cm
The values 2.00 %/K at 25°C and 2.07 %/K at 37°C are defaults for the respective dialysis machine or values entered by the
user. For demonstration purposes the temperature coefficient for 31°C is mentioned, which is calculated by the sensor from
the values for 25°C and 37°C by linear interpolation.
The calculation below shows the drastic effects of an incorrect temperature coefficient.
Example calculation for an incorrect temperature coefficient, using a dialysate with a temperature coefficient of 2.07 %/°C:
Conductivity Temperature of Temperature Meter Difference in

of Solution Solution Coefficient of Meter Display Values
mS/cm °C %/K mS/cm %
14,00 37,0 2,07 14,00 0,00

14,00 37,0 1,97 14,17 1,21
7.1.2 WHICH TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT YOU SHOULD USE
First of all please double-check the temperature coefficient with the machine manual. If you have machines from one
manufacturer only in your use the temperature coefficient that the dialysis machine is using for compensation.
If you have different types of dialysis machines in your unit the best solution is to use a temperature coefficient of 2.07 %/°C
for all machines. This avoids confusion with different readings of the conductivity on different machines.
For your water treatment system use the values according the list above. If the manufacturer is not in this list use the Non-
linear Function (nLF) according to ISO7888 – EN27888.
For tap, purified and waste water we recommend to use the Non-linear Function (nLF) according to ISO7888 –EN27888.
7.1.3 SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
Be aware that changing the temperature coefficient will lead to changes in values displayed by the meter.
Therefore only change the temperature coefficient, if you are fully aware of its consequences. If the temperature
coefficient setting is wrong it will lead to false display values.
Biotech-Lab is able to apply dynamic temperature coefficients. It supports a set of 2 coefficients for 25°C and 37°C
respective. If only one temperature coefficient is needed it is necessary to set both, the coefficient for 25°C and for
37° to the same value.

7.1.4 TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
Listed below are the temperature coefficients used by most major hemodialysis machine and reverse osmosis manufacturers.
We recommend that you double check this data with documentation from your machine’s manufacturer.

The Sensor calculates slope of the pH-Probe. It should be better than 75%. Below 75% the pH-Electrode is
considered defective.

Three possible calibration results.
7.5.2 BACKGROUND OF PH MEASUREMENT
For measuring pH, a combined electrode is used. Combination pH electrodes are combinations of one reference
electrode and one measuring electrode in a glass tube. The pH value in the dialysate is measured by an
unbreakable pH-electrode. The glass body is protected with a plastic coat and due to the jelly-electrolyte-filling, it is
maintenance-free. This electrode’s diaphragm must be stored in 3 mol/l KCl-solution. The protective cap must be
refilled every three to four weeks to prevent the electrode from drying out. Before use the electrode must be
checked for exterior damage and crushed glass. Crusts caused by leaking electrolyte can be removed easily by
rinsing with reverse osmosis-treated water.
The sample volume should be 100 ml of dialysate or 1 liter of untreated water. The sample should be poured into a
clean glass container with a tube or hose, coming into as little contact with air as possible. The pH-value must be
measured immediately in the same container. Make sure that the display stabilizes before the value is read. In
stirred solutions the response rate is faster; the value, however, must be measured at resting fluid.
The pH-electrode must be dabbed only with a lint-free cloth and never rubbed dry. Rubbing destroys the jelly layer
on the glass surface which results in a longer response time for the electrode.
Pressure and fluid currents have considerable influence on the pH measurements. For high accuracy pH
measurement it is essential to take the pH measurement in a resting solution at environmental pressure.

8 HDC75 Display and Control Unit
The HDC75 is a robust smart device with Windows 10. It has five RS485-Interfaces for the direct connection of the Biotech-Lab
modules.
8.1 GETTING TO KNOW THE HDC75
USB-Interface
The USB-Interface supports USB 2.0 OTG and is capable of supplying one full USB 2.0 load. An USB-OTG Adapter
is needed in order to use USB devices with the HDC75. It is also used for charging the device. For charging use
only the Quick-Charge 2.0 compatible charger delivered with the HDC75. If you charge the device with a different
charger the battery charge status of Windows 10 may not working properly with the increased battery size of the
HDC75.
Quick charge and fast charge modes are only entered when the charger is plugged in while the HDC75 is
completely turned off.
Turning on the HDC75 while in proper fast charge mode results in the sensor ports being inaccessible as long
as charging is in progress.
To activate the sensor ports again it is necessary to briefly unplug the USB charger and then plug it in again.
The charge circuit will revert to normal or slow charge depending on the capabilities of the USB charger.

9.1.2 FLOW-THROUGH ADAPTER FOR CONDUCTIVITY AND TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The adapter is suitable for measuring pressure, temperature and conductivity in flow-though mode.
With immersion usage of the probe it is suitable for measuring temperature and conductivity
concurrently. The preferred orientation of the adapter is vertical. The axial connector must point down
(see picture). In flow-through mode the axial connector is to be used as inlet meanwhile the side
connector is to be used as outlet. Before measurement it is necessary to shake the adapter slightly,
so that air bubbles trapped inside can pass off through the outlet.
For immersion usage the probe must be disconnected from the flow-through. Pressure

Connector
Never touch the carbon ring electrode surfaces with your fingers or other objects.
Do not buckle the probe cable.

9.1.3 CARING FOR THE CONDUCTIVITY/TEMPERATURE ELECTRODE
Thorough cleaning of the electrode is particularly important for measuring low conductivities. Water-soluble substances must
be removed by rinsing with deionised water. Remove lime and hydroxide crusts with a 10% citric acid solution. To do this,
immerse the electrode in the solution for 30 minutes at room temperature, then rinse it thoroughly with deionised water. Do not
touch the electrode surface with your fingers.
Basically, the conductivity measuring cell does not decay over time. Particular measuring media (for example, strong acids
and caustic solutions, organic solvents), or too high temperatures shorten the service life considerably, and/or lead to
damage.

12 Adjustment and Calibration
Use the adjustment functions only if you are fully aware of their consequences. Wrong adjustment values
will lead to false measurement values and in consequence these false values lead to hazards for patients.
12.1 ADJUSTMENT
An adjustment is a process in which properties of a measuring device are changed in that way that its scale or
display reads the same as an reference device or standard.
12.2 CALIBRATION
Calibration is the process of establishing the relationship between a measuring device and the units of measure.
This is done by comparing a device or the output of an instrument to a standard having known measurement
characteristics. For example the length of a stick can be calibrated by comparing it to a standard that has a known
length. Once the relationship of the stick to the standard is known the stick can be used to measure the length of
other things. Adjustments are checked by performing a calibration.
12.3 GENERAL
According to ISO 10012-1 “General Quality Assurance Requirements for Measuring Equipment” the error
attributable to calibration should be as small as possible. In most areas of measurement, it should be not more than
one third and preferably one tenth of the permissible error of the confirmed equipment when in use. In other words
the accuracy of the references to adjust or calibrate the HDM must have at least a tree times higher accuracy.
After a channel has been adjusted it is necessary to calibrate it afterwards. If inconclusive or incomprehensible
values are shown in the display it is highly recommended to do a calibration.
The procedure of calibration and adjustment is slightly different for each channel. Proceed with an adjustment only if
you have fully understood the procedure.
• Conductivity is adjusted only at one sampling point. No further points are needed due to the high linearity of the
conductivity probe.
• T he temperature sensor does not drift. Normally there is no adjustment necessary. The adjustment is done by using
two sampling points.
• The pressure transducers drift is linear within its tolerances, so there is a tare function (see chapter “Measuring”).
Normally there is no adjustment necessary. The adjustment is done by using seven sampling points.
• Due to the kind of their technology it is necessary to adjust pH probes periodically. This is done using two sampling
points.
If you are uncertain of entering the correct adjustment values you can discard the values and cancel the adjustment
procedure at any time.

12.4 HANDLING OF REFERENCE SOLUTIONS
IBP Medical standard solutions are produced under ISO13485:2003 quality management. They are traceable to NIST and PTB
Standards Reference Materials and are sealed with tamper-evident packaging.
To ensure standard solution and calibration/verification accuracy.
• Keep solutions tightly capped to avoid evaporation

• Do not return used solutions to the storage bottle
• Do not remove solutions from their original bottle
• Keep the solutions in a cool place
• Use only fresh reference solutions for calibration and verification
• Use the solution immediately after pouring, evaporation will cause errors
• Discard solution the appropriate number of days after opening the bottle
• Discard solution after the expiration date

13 Maintenance of Biotech-Lab Modules
Generally all Biotech-Lab devices can be considered as easy-care. Like all measuring instruments there is a
minimum of maintenance and care necessary to ensure that all functions work flawlessly.
Operate the instrument only in a dry environment, and do not touch it with damp hands. Ensure that no fluids intrude
into the interior of the device, or into the sockets at the front.
There are no parts in the Biotech-Lab devices which you can repair yourself. Contact our technical support team in
the event of any malfunction. If the device should become damaged, or malfunction, send it to IBP or your distributor
for repair.
13.1 STORAGE
Keep the device in a dry place. Suitable is, for example, the original packaging in which you have received the
Biotech-Lab devices, or the carrying case offered by IBP as accessory. If you do not use the device over a longer
period of time, you should connect it to the included charging device about every month for one hour to avoid
exhausting the batteries.
13.2 CLEANING
Never clean any device with any fluids! In case of pollution you can wipe the surface of the Biotech-Lab devices
with a dry and clean cloth.
13.3 CALIBRATION PERIOD
When delivered new from the factory, each device is adjusted and calibrated before shipment. To ensure reliability,
we recommend the following intervals for calibration:
Parameter Calibration Period

Temperature Once per year
Conductivity Once per year
Pressure Once per year
Flow Once per year
pH Before each use
A complete function test and calibration of the device should be done once a year.
13.4 ACCURACY NEEDED FOR CALIBRATION EQUIPMENT
According to ISO 10012-1 “General Quality Assurance Requirements for Measuring Equipment” the error
attributable to calibration should be as small as possible. In most areas of measurement, it should be not more than
one third and preferably one tenth of the permissible error of the confirmed equipment when in use. In other words
the accuracy of the references to adjust or calibrate the HDM must have at least a tree times higher accuracy.
For liability reasons you should not carry out these tests and
calibration and verification yourself. If IBP performs the calibration,
you will receive a calibration certificate in accordance to ISO17025
which documents the calibration/verification results.
