Dialysis Water Testing Lab
Critical testing and analysis for water used in hemodialysis to ensure patient safety and compliance with AAMI/ISO standards.
Upholding the Highest Medical Standards
Patient Safety Through Water Purity
In hemodialysis, the patient's blood is exposed to water purified through osmosis, making the quality of that water **absolutely critical** for safety. Patients are highly vulnerable to contaminants; impurities like trace heavy metals, bacteria, or endotoxins can lead to chronic illness or immediate, life-threatening reactions.
Our specialized **Dialysis Water Testing Laboratory** provides rigorous testing services to ensure water systems comply with the strict guidelines set by the **Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI)** and **ISO 23500**. Routine monitoring covers essential parameters like **Aluminum and Chloramine levels**, **Microbiological Load**, and **Endotoxin levels**, providing dialysis centers and hospitals with the confidence needed for patient care.
Critical Chemical and Microbiological Parameters
We offer comprehensive testing mandated for all water used in the preparation of dialysate and reprocessing of dialyzers.
Chemical Contaminants (Trace Elements)
Testing for toxic elements like Aluminum, Lead, Copper, Zinc, and Chloramine, which can cause severe adverse patient reactions.
Test Method: AAMI/ISO 23500-3
Microbiological Testing (Bacteria & Endotoxin)
Crucial screening for total viable aerobic bacteria and endotoxins, which must be kept below strict limits (e.g., AAMI/ISO standards).
Test Method: AAMI/ISO 23500-5
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Measures the overall concentration of dissolved inorganic and organic substances, impacting reverse osmosis (RO) system efficiency.
Test Method: Standard Methods
pH and Conductivity
Checks the water's acidity/alkalinity and its ability to conduct electricity, affecting the final dialysate solution.
Test Method: AAMI/ISO Standards
Hardness (Calcium and Magnesium)
Measures excess Calcium and Magnesium ions, which can lead to scaling in dialysis machines and pose health risks to patients.
Test Method: IS 3025 (P-21)
Residual Disinfectants
Testing for traces of sanitizing agents (like Chlorine and Chloramine) used to clean the water system, which must be removed before patient use.
Test Method: AAMI/ISO Standards
Fluoride and Nitrate Levels
Monitoring these specific inorganic contaminants, which, even in low doses, can build up in the patient's body over long-term dialysis treatment.
Test Method: IS 3025 (various parts)
Dialysate and Concentrate Analysis
Testing the final mixing product (dialysate) and the concentrate solutions themselves to ensure correct chemical composition and safety.
Test Method: AAMI/ISO 23500-2
