Appendix B

Equipment Storage and Maintenance

Follow the storage and maintenance procedures for dialysis equipment used for Intermittent
Hemodialysis (IHD) in the ICU setting.
Warning! Possible explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Storage Location
If the dialysis unit is incorporated in the hospital, the equipment should be stored so that it
will not be damaged. The maintenance of the equipment is normally part of the duty of the
dialysis service technician. Depending on the disinfectant and the storage time, frequent
flushing of the equipment is necessary.
If it is more convenient to store the equipment close to the ICU, the dedicated storage space
should have an access to tap water, power and a drain. The room should be well vented, if
disinfectant is used.
Storage Preparation
Before storing the 2008K hemodialysis machine, the hydraulics should be disinfected. It is
also necessary to wipe the external parts of the machine with a surface cleaner. Frequency of
disinfection and length of the dwell time depend on the disinfectant and shall be determined
by acceptable culture result. The following table lists commonly used procedures to store
equipment and then return it from storage. Validate your own procedure according to the
facility's policy. After prolonged storage, use a bleach disinfectant prior to patient use.
