Abstract
There is no standard for insoluble particulate matters in dialysate. We evaluated the insoluble particulate matters in online prepared substitution fluid. We evaluated particle diameters and constituent elements of particles in online prepared substitution fluid and the final endotoxin retentive filter (ETRF). The measurement results with particles in the online prepared substitution fluid and particles attached to the final ETRF revealed that Ca-containing particles accounted for 11 particles and Si-containing particles accounted for 19 particles of 30 particles detected in the online prepared substitution fluid and the final ETRF. We presume that insoluble particulates in online prepared substitution fluid were Ca and Mg precipitated from dialysate and Si precipitated from dialysis water. Even if two ETRFs were connected in series, these particles were formed in the final ETRF.
