Hi Simon,

I wish I could help but I have only ever found one hose that did not split and flood the place after a few months of use. This was a blue silicone hose that Baxter supplied when we purchased TINA machines from them. I doubt anyone there could help as when I tried to buy some a while back they could not help.

I have now gone away from silicone/PVC hose. With our Lauer system Kimal supplied a male self sealing connector that goes directly onto the Nikkiso machine’s water inlet regulator. The Lauer steal reinforced secondary loop goes onto this. Where we have Gambro CWP’s I had an engineering firm manufacture an adaptor so we can fit the Gambro PEX coil into the back of the Nikkiso machine. Since doing this we have never had a leak, they are bullet proof.

Hi All,

The Pex coils can be used on all monitors as it has an 1/8" BSP male on each end you just need the connectors

The Gambro CWP at Ilkeston is running intergrated heat disinfections on a ward of 4008 as I think is Scunthorpe.

The Gambro  Heat CWP range has two separate programmes for heat disinfection one for the loop and one for intergrated heat disinfection of monitors this is so you can set separate leak detection limits for each and also separate time programmes(just like SKY Plus),depending on which model the internal hot water tank is 330ltrs or 460ltrs to measure this againist a Daliysis M/c the AK200S uses 5.5 ltrs and an AK200Ultra S uses 8.1 ltrs  during an intergrated heat disinfection up-take so a tank of even 330ltrs goes a long way.

I hope this has helped and I have not just rambled on

Many thanks Matt
