| [ Summary ] | The Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy (JSDT) presented a standard for dialysis fluid purification in 1995 and revised the standard three times after that. In 2016, the JSDT added the water quality standard for chemical contaminants and management standard for water treatment equipment. This standard specifies twelve chemicals whose toxic potentials have been verifi ed, or are suspected. Chemical contaminants in raw water should be confirmed before installation of water treatment equipment. Water quality data from raw water must be confi rmed in each season of the year as part of daily management. Chemical contaminants in dialysis water should be measured at least once a year if the source of the raw water does not meet water quality standard. Total chlorine concentration in dialysis water should also be measured and be less than 0.1mg/L. |
