Hemodialysis Water Testing
Chemical and microbial components that may be found in drinking water meeting US EPA regulations may have the potential to produce significant negative effects in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
A comprehensive validation testing of the system producing water for hemodialysis should be performed initially and periodically thereafter to ensure that the water treatment equipment and system sanitization processes are functioning properly.
