Dialysis is a blood cleaning process used when a person kidneys doesn’t work or have a reduced functionality (around 10 to 15%). The procedure consists of an artificial kidney or dialyzer where the blood contaminants are filtered through a thin membrane into a concentrated fluid called dialyzate.
The dialyzate is a mix of: bicarbonate componente, that can be sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride; acid component, that contains chloride salts of sodium, potassium (if needed), calcium, magnesium, acetate (or citrate), and glucose (optional); and ultra pure water as a mixing media.
DIALYSIS MACHINES NEED REVERSE OSMOSIS
Dialysis machines need ultra-pure water to prevent patients from getting infections from micro-organisms in the water. That’s why Advancees created reverse osmosis systems for dialysis machines. The ultra-pure water needs vary depending on the capacity of the dialysis center and the treatment of each center. However, Swiss Aqua had delivered two main reverse osmosis systems for dialysis to cover all needs for this high standard of water quality.
The Stationary Dialysis RO for multipatient dialysis centers, and the Mobile Dialysis RO can treat patients with a limited mobility situation such as ER operations or ICU (Intensive Care Unit) treatments.
