AbstractGuideline III.3
A. In order to prevent the release of fragments (solid or soluble) from the dialyzer circuit, and their accumulation in several organs of the body, adequate dialyzer pre-rinsing according to the manufacturers instructions should be performed. If no manufacturer instructions are given, the dialyzers should be pre-rinsed using at least 2 l of rinsing solution. Over-occlusion of the roller pumps should be avoided as well.
