Residual Test after Chemical Disinfection
Before connecting to a patient, a residual test must be done on the
prepared dialysis fluid. This is to make sure that the patient will not be
exposed to chemical residuals after a chemical disinfection program.
The residual concentration in the dialysis fluid must be b elow levels
specified by the clinic or by national standards. It is essential to use an
appropriate test method, either with proven sensitivity for the chemical
or recommended by the manufacturer of the chemical disinfectant.
CAUTION
After the Chemical disinfection procedure a test for residues must
have been performed prior to connecting to a patient.
CAUTION
