| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to characterize the malfunctioned Polysulfone membrane
dialyzer and to determine the efficiency of dialyzer cleaning solution in regenerating the
waste dialyzer. This study was conducted in the Clean Laboratory of FKASA , with the
scope of study was limited in regenerating the membrane dialyzer by characterized it by
leak of pressure and measure the TCV (Total Cell Volume) of the dialyzer and determining
the effect of different concentration of cleaning solution towards the membrane dialyzer.
Samples were taken from Islam Makmur Hemodialysis Center. The membrane dialyzer
were reprocessed and regenerated by using an Automatic Dialyzer Reprocessor Machine
and using AAMI (Association of the Advancement Medical of Instrumentation) standard
and recommendation. All the sample dialyzer was characterized using parameters such as
TCP (Total Cell Pressure) and TCV (Total Cell Volume). The function of conducted TCP
and TCV test is to ensure whether the dialyzer in good condition and to measure the ability
of dialyzer to transport solutes, respectively. In the meantime, the dialyzers were also being
reprocessed using low and high concentration of dialyzer cleaning solution. The cleaning
solution was used is diaclean. As a result, the dialyzer samples have different in TCV
reading due to the low and high concentration of cleaning solution tested to the samples.
The TCV reading of dialyzer which was tested using low concentration of cleaning solution
is smaller whilst the TCV reading for dialyzer that tested using high concentration of
cleaning solution is more higher. In conclusion, the used of high concentration of cleaning
solution gave positive effect to the efficiency of regenerating membrane dialyzer. Because
of that, the kidney patients will be able to undergo treatment in more quality performance. |
