Dialysis Machine Cleaning Solution

A dialysis machine cleaning solution is a specially formulated liquid or powder used to disinfect and descale internal fluid pathways of a dialysis machine. It removes microbial contamination, endotoxins, and mineral deposits to ensure patient safety and equipment longevity.

Types of Cleaning Solutions:
Acid-based (e.g., citric acid) – Removes calcium and magnesium scale.

Alkaline-based – Breaks down organic residues.

Disinfectants (e.g., peracetic acid, sodium hypochlorite) – Eliminates bacteria and viruses.

Cleaning Process:
Performed between treatments or daily depending on protocol.

The machine pumps the cleaning solution through all dialysate lines and components.

Followed by thorough rinsing with treated water to avoid residual chemicals.

Safety Notes:
Always use manufacturer-recommended products.

Wear gloves and eye protection.

Verify residual chemical levels before patient use.
