IMPORTANCE OF WATER
TREATMENT IN HAEMODIALYSIS
CENTRE
Why water treatment is important in haemodialysis centre?
• Ensuring a safe and effective manner of water delivery to haemodialysis
patients
•
-Average person (10-14 litres )
-Average dialysis patient (≥300 litres)
• If they are exposed to such untreated water that carries contaminants which is
now directly exposed to their blood, severe complication could occur.
REVERSE OSMOSIS (R.O) IN
DIALYSIS
Reverse Osmosis in Dialysis
• Uses a pump to push water through semipermeable membrane or filter
• Some common uses include:
-drinking water
-laboratory applications
-water used in chemical processes
-houseplants
-greenhouses
-haemodialysis.
• RO machine produces two types of water
-product water
-reject water.
• RO is the most trusted water purification technology because the
devices remove dissolved inorganic solutes as well as bacteria and
endotoxins.
• Safest
• most economical method
• most reliable water purifier system

MONITORING WATER
QUALITY
Chemical Contaminants
Monitoring Feed Water
• Analyzed at least four times a year
• Sample can be taken from the water before it enters any part of the water treatment system.
( Sink near the water treatment room)
• Samples are sent to qualified lab to analyse them
• Monitoring Product Water
• Quality testing needed to de done at least quarterly .
• Samples should drawn from sample port immediately after the RO system.
• Samples are sent to a qualified lab to ensure that no contaminants levels that exceed AAMI
standards.
• Water quality degrades- have an alarm in the treatment room to alert dialysis centre.
• A trend analysis should be done if any contaminants results exceed AAMI standards.
Microbiological contamination
• Monitoring bacteria levels in water
• Level shall not exceed AMMI standard (100 CFU/ml) with an
action level of 50 CFU/ml.
• Samples is taken where all haemodialysis equipment connects to
distribution piping system.
• Assay of sample:
• within 30 minutes of collection or
• Immediately stored at temperature between 1-5 ℃
and assayed within 24 hours of collection
• Monitoring endotoxin levels in water
• Level must not exceed AMMI standards (0.25 EU/ml) with an action level of 0.12 EU/ml.
• Measured 6 monthly
• Sampling at the point of delivery to haemodialysis equipment
• Tested using Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test.
Microbiological contamination
What happen if test results exceed the action level?
Level of bacteria exiting the RO machine
Product water distribution system disinfection
procedures
Examination of the distribution piping system for dead spots
that may contribute to bacterial contamination including
possible contamination of bacteria filters if they are installed in
the distribution system
Procedures to isolate the potential problem :
Correction action :
Cleaning and disinfection
of RO membrane
Disinfection of the
product water
distribution system
Need to make sure that
the water hose on the
machine is being
disinfected.
Installation of an
endotoxin filter system
in the RO water
distribution system
Increasing the frequency
of disinfection of
existing bacteria filters
ADVANTGES OF REVERSE
OSMOSIS (R.O)
Advantages of Reverse Osmosis
• Water is demineralized
• Eco-friendly
• Expandable and space saving
• R.O able to remove bacteria and pyrogen ; Deionization filter (DI)
coupled with ultrafiltration (UF) machine unable to remove low
molecular weight bacterial by-products. (microcystins)
Two tanks : one as workers; one
as backup
exhaust and dump its retained
ions
DISADVANTAGES OF
REVERSE OSMOSIS (R.O)
Extensive life cycle cost of dialysis water treatment
Disadvantages of R.O
Acquisition Costs
-The price of water treatment unit may vary from
depending on specific requirements and design
Operation Costs
-Expenses in the supply of water and electricity
-Recurrent costs include the purchase of
consumables goods
Service /Maintenance Costs
-Inspection of reprocessing machine on regular
basis
-Repairing for defection in particular systems to
preserve the efficiency of the system
-Expenditures for quality control measures
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS &
SUGGESTIONS
Possible Problems & Suggestions
Problem #1: Bacteria growth
Research found that stagnant water, especially those stored in water storage tank which contains large
amount of water that no longer have chlorine or chloramine is one of the source of bacteria and
endotoxin in the product water.
Suggestion #1: Storage tank with specific design consideration
Storage tanks shall be:
• Conical or bowl-shaped bottom for complete emptying
• Having light fitting lid that is vented to air
• Designed for easy frequent disinfection and rinse with an internal spray mechanism
• Using inert materials that do not leach contaminants into the purified water
• Having UV bulbs to kill microorganism
Problem #2: Improper design of RO system
For a given system, the higher the percentage of recovery or the lower the percentage of rejection, the
poorer the quality of product water becomes
Suggestion #2: AAMI chemical analysis
• An AAMI chemical analysis shall be performed at least once a year to validate the removal of
contaminants by the water treatment system
• All gauges and flow meters should be within manufacturer’s specifications and the readings should be
recorded daily
• Water quality (conductivity or total dissolved solids) should be within normal limits for the area, and
checked against an independent device routinely and recorded at least daily
Problem #3: High wastage of treated water
When treated water does not meet the required standard, it would be regarded as reject water. If the
reject stream is not recycled or not returned to the RO system, high wastage will be created. In the
centre, these reject water are discard off.
Suggestion #3: Such water can be stored or recycled
Reject water can be reused in gardens, lawns and landscaping, for toilet flushes as well as other
cleaning purpose works or it can be recycled back through a closed loop system.
CONCLUSION
