High Performance Antipyrogenic Ultrafilter for Dialysate Solutions

Biocompatibility of dialysis treatment can be affected by different parameters and between them the purity of the dialysate fluid is surely one of the most important. As well documented, the presence of contaminants such as pyrogens, endotoxins and bacteria in the dialysate fluid, associated with those pressure conditions which can facilitate the occurance of the well known backfiltration situations, can stimulate the patients immune system leading to complications like hemodialysis-related amyloidosis. Furthermore, the risk of bacterial and pyrogenic contamination is greater when bicarbonate...
