10.3 Heat disinfection
10.3.1 Description of heat disinfection
During the heat disinfection program the inlet water is heated up and flushed through
the fluid monitor. The AK 98 dialysis machine fluid path is constructed in a way that
prevents possible contaminants in the post-dialyzer fluid path from reaching the
patient.
Heat disinfection reduces the number of viable microorganisms. The program can be
combined with cleaning and decalcification.
A heat disinfection begins with a rinse in order to rinse out possible residues from
concentrates used in the last treatment, followed by the circulation phase. The
circulation phase consists of a number of cycles
, during each cycle heated water is
passed through all parts of the fluid path.
10.3.2 Cleaning and decalcification
Cleaning and decalcification are always done with a heat disinfection program.
Cleaning or decalcification solution is mixed with water, heated and flushed through
the fluid path during the heat disinfection program. A decalcification (CLEANCART C
cartridge or liquid citric acid) program cannot be replaced by a chemical disinfection
program.
The cleaning solution can be a CLEANCART A cartridge cleaning solution or sodium
hypochlorite. These alternatives remove fat, protein and organic material.
The decalcification solution can be a CLEANCART C cartridge solution or liquid citric
acid. These alternatives remove calcium-carbonate deposits.
