| [ Summary ] |
The responsibility regarding quality of the dialysate rests with the medical institutions providing hemodialysis facilities. Ideally, the validation concept should be introduced to maintain and ensure purity of the dialysate. This method is based on process management to guarantee system compatibility and product quality. When implementing this concept, it is essential to prevent secondary contamination during each step of dialysate preparation. Therefore, appropriate washing and disinfecting practices are important for this purpose. |
