Water is very essential for every living being on this Earth. If you drink contaminated water you are surely going to face a lot of problems in the future. Thus, it is very important to drink water in its purest form. Through proper distribution system, the drinking water is purified and transported within a proper dialysis center. In the Dialysis Centre, the water is purified and all the steps are taken in order to ensure that the water is safe for drinking.
Proper Dialysis Centre provides training to its staff so that they have properly understood the entire dialysis process. The entire dialysis process helps in improving the health of the patient. The dialysis process helps in removing all microbiological as well as chemical contaminants in the water. Imagine if there is chemical toxicity in the water it might lead to several problems. These problems might be nausea, the problem in speech, diarrhea, hypertension, etc.
Different Acts and Guidelines
In the entire water dialysis process system design, water treatment as a distribution plays a major role. It is mandatory for employees of the Dialysis Centre to meet Centers for Medicare and Medical Services – CMS conditions for coverage. All the requirements for treating the dialysis patients also should be ensured. CMS has already published rules in the year 2008 which are based on the recommendations by AAMI – Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation. All the rules should be strictly followed so that quality dialysis filter is carried out.
These recommendations as well as guidelines are must so that the patient does not get exposed to any sort of microbiological or chemical contaminants. The major source of water that is required in dialysis treatments is from local water supplies. This water is not fit for the patients and cannot be used. Thus, water standards have to be maintained under various acts namely EPA – Environment Protection Agency and SDWA – Safe Drinking Water Act. These acts clearly mention the microbiological as well as chemical contaminant levels in the water.
Water plays a major role in removing all the extra salt, harmful waste and fluids. This helps in controlling the pH balance, blood pressure and plasma volume to a larger extent. It is very important for all the medical directors to show necessary leadership qualities and ensure that water treatment is done in proper manner and smoothly. If the proper purification is done then no problem will be face by the patient. It is the responsibility of the medical director to ensure that high priority is given to purification of water.
Different Standard to be Maintained
There are different standards that are set for drinking and dialysis water. There are certain chemical limits that are set in drinking water as well as dialysis quality water. These limits should be strictly followed. Water treatment steps are same irrespective of the system being used. The steps include pretreatment, purification and last step is distribution. Each treatment requires proper monitoring and maintenance.
