No idea what that is, but I've had kits measure NH3 in RO, I know it was not accurate. As long as your carbon block is reasonably fresh in the RO unit, I'd suspect a faulty test kit.

I think my RO unit is about 10 month old now, how often should I make changes to the different part of the RO unit?

Ideally you should test your TDS every month, once you get above 1 or 2ppm output, I'd change membranes. Here in victoria, our water is really soft, so I can get away with a new membrane every 18 months. My carbon and prefilter get changed after my pressure through the unit drops 10psi. If you got your's used, or you're unsure, get a new carbon block and prefilter at the minimum.
