  * In accordance to ISO 10012-1 the accuracy is to low to calibrate any dialysis machine. Read more.
  ** The specified conductivity accuracy by Mesalabs of ±0.10% leads to 0.015 mS/cm at 15 mS/cm.
This seems to be a misprint for following reason.
The reference material with the highes accuracy Mesalab is using comes from
Dansk Fundamental Metrologi A/S.
This material is specified to have a measuring uncertainty of 0.15%. It can be estimated that the calibration procedure at Mesalabs adds another 0.05% uncertainty which leads to an uncertainty of ±0.20%. This uncertainty can roughly estimated to an measuring accuracy of about 0.1%. According to ISO 10012-1 the reference to calibrate a device needs to be at least three times higher than the device to calibrate. Following this rule the calibrated meter has a accuracy of 0.3% which leads to an accuracy of 0.045 mS/cm at 15 mS/cm. The published accuracy by Mesalabs is incorrect and should be about 0.3%.
  *** Due to the temperature compensation the accuracy of 0.1 °C at 37°C leads to a possible error of the conductivity measurement of about 2.4% which computes to 0.36 mS/cm at 15 ms/cm.
