Strict Single Use Dialyzer Policy

Dialyzer reuse in hemodialysis was historically practiced due to its perceived economic benefits. But, reusing a dialyzer is associated with increased health hazard from exposure to germicides. Several extensive observational studies have compared single-use with reuse dialyzers and have demonstrated a high mortality rate with dialyzer reuse

With technological advancement and less expensive dialyzers, single-use dialyzer policy is the best option. Single-use benefits patients by reducing the cross infections and contamination and the risk associated with exposure to germicides and denatured blood products. Single-use policy amplifies toxin removal, which is more safe for the patient. At AINUdialysis, patient safety is our top priority. By instituting single-use dialyzer policy at our center, we provide our patients with the highest quality of dialysis care available
