Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Hemodiafiltration (HDF) is increasingly adopted in the US.
  • Dialysis water and dialysate safety are paramount for patient well-being.
  • Limited dedicated technical staff necessitates broader team involvement in system operation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To underscore the critical importance of safe water and dialysate in hemodialysis (HD) and hemodiafiltration (HDF).
  • To review essential components and processes for ensuring safe dialysis fluid preparation.
  • To emphasize the collaborative role of the care team in maintaining patient safety.

Main Methods:

  • Review of water treatment system components.
  • Analysis of dialysate concentrate preparation protocols.
  • Examination of integrated HD/HDF system considerations.
  • Discussion of essential monitoring and testing procedures.

Main Results:

  • Direct infusion of dialysate in HDF heightens the need for stringent water purification.
  • Current staffing models often place water system operation on direct care staff.
  • Comprehensive understanding and rigorous testing are vital for preventing patient harm.

Conclusions:

  • Safe water and dialysate are non-negotiable for HD and HDF patient safety.
  • A multidisciplinary approach to operating and monitoring dialysis fluid systems is essential.
  • Continuous vigilance and adherence to best practices safeguard patients undergoing dialysis treatments.
