FMC follows water quality standards according to who's
standards? - Ans>> AAMI
Bone disease can be caused by ________ in product water? -
Ans>> Aluminum
,Aluminum in product water put the patient at risk for ________? -
Ans>> Anemia
Aluminum, chloramphenicol, copper or zinc may cause _______
when present in water used for dialysis? - Ans>> Hemolysis

Parts of a bacteria cell wall, released from dead bacteria is? -
Ans>> Endotoxin
What are characteristics of bacteria/viruses? - Ans>> 1. Grows
rapidly
2. Too large to cross an intact dialysis membrane, but can cross a
damaged/torn membrane
3. May produce endotoxins or biofilm
Safe range for total chlorine is? - Ans>> Less than 0.1 ppm (0.00-
0.09 ppm)
