HD02 users can now change the serial connector to
USB on the HD02 monitor with the RETROHD02-USB Upgrade.
The computer industry is changing to USB and many manufacturers have laptops
with USB only, especially in Europe and Asia. The retrofit replaces the RS232 connector and cable with a USB connector and cable. If you are an HD02 user and
wish to change over to the USB, please contact your nearest distributer to acquire the upgrade.
The connector change is different from the “Step-up to HD02 System” upgrade which involves changes to the electronic components of the HD01
monitor to give your HD01 full HD02 features and performance at a fraction of the HD02 price!

accurate?

that will tell the user what is wrong and ask to repeat the measurement. If there is no repeat message, then the result is 99.5 - 99.8% accurate (within the specification).
Transonic flow/dilution curves are
computer-generated graphic representations of what occurs during Transonic Hemodialysis Monitoring after a bolus of saline is introduced into dialysis blood lines. -More>
