| [ Summary ] | Blood leak detectors may be regarded as one of the main safety monitoring systems in dialysis machines. The detectors are highly important for dialysis medication, since the major functions of the detector not only detect blood leaks, but also prevent the leakage of endtoxins from the dailysate into the blood. The detector requires the kind of sensor that protects the machine from the influences of environmental temperature. The machine sometimes mistakenly reacts, due to the collection of proteins on the film. Therefore, it is crucial for the lenses and film to be and well cleaned regularly. It is also important for the staff to use Hemastex to clean those parts of the machine, where contaminates cannot be visually observed. It is very significant for the staff to fully understand the functions of maintenance, which lead to safe dialysis. |
