Description

All dialysis units must have written policies and procedures that deal with disinfection of the dialysis fluid path way of the Hemodialysis machine. These procedures are targeted to control bacterial contamination and have nothing to do with preventing blood borne infections. The procedures generally consist of using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) on a regular basis(according to the manufacturer’s instructions) and a sterilant overnight at certain intervals (e.g., every 100 hours of use). Studies have shown that HIV is inactivated rapidly after being exposed to commonly used chemical germicides at concentrations that are much lower than used in practice. The much hardier HBV is also known to be inactivated by common household bleach. Suggested concentrations of sodium hypochlorite prepared daily range from 500 parts per million (ppm) (1:100 dilution of household bleach) to 5000 ppm (1:10 dilution).
