Additional Disinfection Requirements

In addition to the routine cleaning and disinfection tasks listed in the previous table,
additional disinfection is required for the following situations:

Each time the water treatment system is disinfected
When the water treatment system and distribution piping are disinfected, each dialysate
delivery machine should be placed in the Rinse program to draw disinfectant into the
machine through the inlet lines. Check for residual disinfectant prior to use for dialysis.

After contamination of transducer protector
Disinfect the connectors and replace the internal transducer protector if there is
evidence of leakage past the external transducer protector on the venous or blood pump
modules. Disinfect associated parts.

After a dialyzer blood leak
The machine should be disinfected prior to the next treatment if a blood leak alarm
occurred.
Warning! The protocol for disinfection is determined by the facility and its medical
director. When chemicals are used internally, machines must be thoroughly rinsed and
tested for residual disinfectant before using the machine for treatment. Follow the
instructions of the chemical manufacturer for residual testing. If the machine is chemically
disinfected daily, we recommend that it also be heat disinfected at least once per week.
