Water Purification Systems : RO : HEMO : Portable are compact reverse osmosis ( RO ) hemodialysis water purification systems designed to produce ultra - pure dialysis grade water that meets current ANSI / AAMI / ISO standards for hemodialysis , and are compact , lightweight , portable systems ( e . g ., mounted on wheels ) with integrated handles allowing for rapid relocation and set - up in multiple clinical environments . These systems are specifically engineered for very high - water volumes and strict contaminant limits required in hemodialysis , where even trace amounts of certain substances ( such as aluminum , chloramines , or endotoxin ) can cause serious patient harm . Portable hemodialysis RO systems typically include pretreatment ( e . g ., sediment and carbon filtration for particulate removal and chloramine / chlorine reduction ), one or more semi permeable RO membranes , a high pressure pump to drive water across the membrane at pressures exceeding the osmotic gradient , and associated controls , monitors , and alarms . The RO membrane is permeable to water but largely impermeable to dissolved salts , organic molecules , microorganisms , and particulates , producing permeate ( product water ) that is then supplied to the hemodialysis machine via appropriate medical grade tubing and connectors . Compared with general purpose RO units , hemodialysis RO systems incorporate tighter performance specifications , continuous monitoring ( e . g ., conductivity , pressure ), and disinfection capabilities to achieve and maintain very low levels of ions , bacteria , and endotoxin . Given patient exposure to hundreds of liters of water during a single hemodialysis session ( as dialysate and substitution fluid ), product water quality must be verified regularly through chemical and microbiological testing , using limits and action levels defined in applicable AAMI / ISO standards . Facilities typically incorporate upstream pretreatment to address local water characteristics ( e . g ., hardness , particulates , chloramines ) before RO , and may add downstream ultrafiltration or endotoxin retentive filters to further control microbiological contaminants . Periodic disinfection of the RO system and distribution tubing is essential to control biofilm , and any deviation from specified water quality requires prompt investigation and corrective action .
