This recommended practice is addressed to the physician responsible for reprocessing hemodialyzers. It covers personnel and patient considerations, records, equipment, physical plant and environmental safety, reprocessing material, patient identification and hemodialyzer labeling, reprocessing and storage procedures, disposition of rejected dialyzers, preparation for subsequent use, patient monitoring, and quality assurance and quality control. This document does not endorse either single use or reuse of dialyzers.<\/p>\n
