| [ Summary ] | Currently, online hemodiafiltration devices are classified as multipurpose dialysis tools. Each manufacturer develops and sells devices with excellent levels of operability, functionality and safety. The primary functions of these devices include automatic functions, intermittent replenishment hemodiafiltration and other functions. Since the ETRF used by individual makers of online hemodiafiltration devices is a component, it can only be in designated ETRF systems. It is the responsibility of clinical staff members to master the functions of online hemodiafiltration devices. It is also necessary for them to perform appropriate management functions through regular inspections and maintenance for safe operation. |
