Residual Testing Following Rinse Procedure

After completion of the rinse procedure, the dialyzer should be tested to determine the level of residual chemical present.

1. Obtain residual test strips (PeraSidual Residual Peroxide Test, Product Number 1702-01).
2. After rinsing the dialyzer for 10 minutes, use a 1 to 3cc syringe and small-bore needle to draw a 1cc sample of solution from the extracorporeal circuit using the venous injection site.
   1. Note: The venous and arterial lines may be separated if poorly clamped and the blood pump is stopped, but a false positive may occur from Peracidin residue on the fistula connector using this method.
3. Place several drops from the syringe on the pad of the test strip. After two seconds, shake off the excess. If no color is immediately apparent on the test strip, there is less than 1 part per million (ppm) of Peracidin remaining and no further rinsing is required. Refer to the product insert for additional information on the use of the test strips.
4. If the result is higher than 3 ppm, further rinsing is necessary. If the residual Peracidin is acceptable but the patient is not ready to begin dialysis, continue recirculating the dialyzer at blood pump settings of 100 ml per minute and zero negative pressure, to conserve saline, until the patient is ready to be connected to the dialysis machine.

It is important to read and understand all of these Instructions For Use prior to using Peracidin Dialyzer Reprocessing Concentrate.
