Procedure for Dialysis Machine Disinfection

Daily Machine Disinfection:

  • Substitute undiluted Alcavis 100 for bleach.
  • Pull 200 - 250 cc of Alcavis 100 into the dialysis machine through the dialysate line or bicarbonate line. Do not use acid connector/line.
  • The machine will dilute Alcavis 100 1:34 with water. This results in an available chlorine of 333 ± 10 ppm.
  • Confirm presence of Alcavis 100 with a test strip from the drain line.
  • After drawing 200 - 250 cc of Alcavis 100, put the machine in "RINSE" procedure for 10 - 15 minutes. (Up to a 5 minute dwell period can be performed, but is not required).
  • Confirm absence of Alcavis 100 with a test strip from the drain line.
  • If chlorine is detected (= 0.5 ppm), repeat the "RINSE" procedure.
  • Never let Alcavis 100 dwell in the machine for more than 20 minutes.
