Usage of high-flux membranes
Thread Content
Dear colleagues from Sichuan, let’s exchange information on the use and operation of high-flux membranes; our unit’s experience with them has not been very satisfactory.
Problems that may arise from using high-flux membranes include membrane clogging, protein loss, low dialysis efficiency, or improper operation. If its performance in your facility is not satisfactory, it may be necessary to check and optimize it from the following aspects: 1. Check whether the ratio and flow rate of the dialysate are appropriate. 2. Ensure compatibility between the dialysis equipment and the membrane. 3. Observe the cleanliness of the membrane during dialysis and whether any blockages occur. 4. Check and follow the correct operating procedures, including pre-rinsing, dialysis process control, and membrane cleaning and storage. 5. Consider the patient’s specific conditions, such as blood flow, blood pressure, and blood composition, and adjust the parameters accordingly. 6. Record detailed dialysis data to analyze the root causes of problems. Specifically, detailed analysis and adjustments are required based on the actual usage situation. .
You’ve come to the wrong place. What’s being discussed here are high-flux membranes for filtering saline water. High flux is usually achieved by sacrificing the membrane’s retention pore size, and there’s always a trade-off involved
Our unit uses large-channel membranes in the brine KAI membrane filters; do you encounter any issues during use, what is the acid cleaning cycle length, and are there any cases of the membrane tubes twisting?
