SECTION IV: Dialysis fluid purity
IV.3 Water treatment monitoring and maintenance
AbstractWater treatment quality control covers two aspects: one is the chemical purity and the other is the microbiological purity.
Guideline IV.3.1
A. The chemical and bacteriological purity of the dialysis water must be monitored routinely and regularly and the results should be documented. There should be documented procedures, which come into effect once these limits are exceeded. These procedures will include temporary closure of the dialysis unit when the safe limits for contaminants are exceeded.
