The specially formulated solution used in dialysis that draws waste products and excess electrolytes from the blood across the dialyzer membrane.
Dialysate is a precisely formulated solution containing purified water, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride), bicarbonate buffer, and sometimes glucose. The composition is designed to create concentration gradients that drive the removal of waste products from blood while maintaining electrolyte balance. Key parameters include sodium concentration (135-145 mEq/L), potassium (0-4 mEq/L), calcium (2.5-3.5 mEq/L), bicarbonate (30-40 mEq/L), and temperature (35-37°C). Dialysate quality depends on water treatment — ZuvFlo monitors RO plant parameters to ensure dialysate safety.
A medical procedure that filters waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood using a dialysis machine when the kidneys can no longer perform this function adequately.
The artificial kidney component of a dialysis machine containing a semipermeable membrane that filters waste and excess fluid from blood.
The purification system that produces ultrapure water for dialysate preparation, critical for patient safety during hemodialysis.
The water purification system using reverse osmosis membranes to produce ultrapure water required for dialysate preparation in hemodialysis.
