CHEMICAL CLEANING AND HEAT DISINFECTION
7.1 Chemical cleaning
To maximize the life and maintain the performance of the unit’s reverse
osmosis membrane and to ensure the permeate quality meets the
requirements for hemodialysis, chemical cleaning of the unit is recommended.
Note:
You will not be able start a chemical clean or heat disinfection unless you have been
provided with a key, the key allows you to switch the unit from normal processing ”Service” to
the “Clean” position. Once you have been trained and approved to carry out chemical cleans
and heat disinfection by your Healthcare provider you will then be given a key. Always keep
the key in a safe place when the unit is in normal operation and DO NOT leave the key in the
switch, to avoid someone inadvertently turning it during dialysis.
A separate
“Chemical Cleaning & Heat Disinfection Instructions”
document contains all
the necessary information required to carry out cleaning/disinfection of the unit. When
approved to do so ensure that the procedures detailed within this document are followed.
Warning:
Chemical cleaning of the unit
MUST
only be carried by an approved or person trained by
AmeriWater
or your Healthcare provider.
DO NOT
attempt to clean the unit if you have not
been trained.
DO NOT
use any other household cleaner to clean the unit, only use those cleaners supplied
by
AmeriWater
, or your Healthcare provider or you may risk causing severe damage to the
unit and its components and pose a serious risk to yourself or the person on dialysis.
If You wish to clean the unit and carry heat disinfections yourself please contact
AmeriWater
or your Healthcare provider who will provide all the necessary instructional training, approved
cleaning chemicals, instruction leaflet and security key to enable the cleans to take place.
Your Healthcare provider will provide a cleaning program based on your specific requirements
and frequency of dialysis.
We advise that chemical cleans should be carried out within the confines of the Technician’s
area and not on the ward.
