10.7.3 Flow path
During treatments, the flow path can be soiled by calcium-carbonate from the dialysis
fluid, or fat, protein, and organic material from the patient. The dialysis machine has
decalcification and cleaning programs to take care of this, see Section 10.3 “Heat
disinfection” on pageA:145.
The number of treatments and the setting of parameters will influence the amount of
deposits downstream of the dialyzer.
An increased level of cleaning may be necessary, depending on the conditions
described above. To see a general schedule for cleaning, go to Section 10.7.2
“Cleaning and disinfection schedule” on pageA:156.
