Guidance for the preparation and quality management of fluids for haemodialysis and related therapies (ISO 23500:2014)

Publication date:   Dec 15, 2015

Scope

ISO 23500:2014 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, ISO 23500:2014 functions as a recommended practice.
ISO 23500:2014 addresses the user's responsibility for the dialysis fluid once the equipment used in its preparation has been delivered and installed. For the purposes of ISO 23500:2014, the dialysis fluid includes dialysis water used for the preparation of dialysis fluid and substitution fluid, dialysis water used for the preparation of concentrates at the user's facility, as well as concentrates and the final dialysis fluid and substitution fluid.
