ISO 23500-1 is the first part of the multi-series standard on preparation and quality management of fluids for haemodialysis and related therapies which outlines general requirements for hemodialysis.
ISO 23500-1 is the base standard for several other standards dealing with water treatment equipment, water, dialysis water, concentrates, and dialysis fluid (ISO 23500 series) and provides dialysis practitioners with guidance on the preparation of dialysis fluid for haemodialysis and related therapies and substitution fluid for use in online therapies, such as haemodiafiltration and haemofiltration. As such, this document functions as a recommended practice.
ISO 23500-1 is useful for-
ISO 23500-1 provides you with guidance for handling water and concentrates and for the production and quality oversight of dialysis fluid used for haemodialysis. The need for such guidance is based on the critical role of dialysis fluid quality in providing safe and effective haemodialysis, and the recognition that day-to-day dialysis fluid quality is under the control of the healthcare professionals who deliver dialysis therapy.
ISO 23500-1 reflects the conscientious efforts of healthcare professionals, patients, and medical device manufacturers to develop recommendations for handling water and concentrates and for the production and surveillance of dialysis fluid for haemodialysis and protecting haemodialysis patients from adverse effects arising from known chemical and microbial contaminants that might be found in the improperly prepared dialysis fluid
