SECTION IV: Dialysis fluid purity
IV.2 Technical design of the water treatment system
AbstractTo ensure a consistent production of adequately purified water, it is necessary to optimize the design of the water purification system [23].
Guideline IV.2
A. The water treatment system should consist of pre-treatment and RO modules feeding directly the dialysis machines. Storage tanks should be avoided. Pipe tubing material and plumbing should be designed to prevent bacterial contamination and to be easily disinfected.
