Continuous Automated Safety Monitoring of Haemodialysis Water
Swan Analytical Instruments’ Renal Dialysis Total Chlorine Monitor continuously monitors chloramines in dialysis water systems so that patients receive the safest water possible.
Water Testing In Renal Dialysis
Why is chlorine present in dialysis water?
Chlorine can enter dialysis water either through the municipal supply or as part of disinfection for the water and dialysis equipment. If elevated Total Chlorine levels go undetected, patients can be at risk of severe haemolytic anaemia.
Traditional chlorine testing in dialysis water
Chlorine in dialysis systems is typically measured manually by nursing staff. This process consumes valuable time, introduces potential for human error, and allows room for inconsistent interpretation of results. Manual testing also means Total Chlorine is not continuously monitored, so dangerous spikes may go unnoticed. Furthermore, research has shown that many testing kits used in renal wards lack the sensitivity to accurately detect the low chlorine concentrations present in dialysis water.
How to Accurately Test Chlorine in Dialysis Water
Swan Analytical Instruments’ Renal Dialysis Total Chlorine Monitor (Codes-II TC Analyser) provides continuous, automated monitoring of Total Chlorine in dialysis water systems. This ensures patients receive the safest water possible, eliminates the need for manual testing, and delivers reliable online data with over 1,000 measurements per week. The system also provides early warning alerts if Total Chlorine levels reach unsafe levels.
With Swan Analytical Instruments, renal ward teams can trust that their dialysis water treatment system is operating safely, protecting patients from sudden or unpredictable chlorine surges.
