ELECTROCHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY FOR CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF HEMODIALYSIS EQUIPMENT

Background. From the epidemiological point of view, the relevance of work in the healthcare system in the field of nephrology is related to the need to destroy biofilms of microorganisms in hydraulic systems, cleaning of organo-mineral deposits and disinfection of the internal surface of the hydraulic system of hemodialysis machines. Purpose. To solve the problem of import substitution and to create a new technology for the production and use of an environmentally friendly universal agent at the place of consumption in the conditions of dialysis centres. Materials and methods. Technical electrochemical system for solution synthesis. Chemical reactions of water decomposition on inert anode and cathode of diaphragm electrochemical reactor. Results. A new methodological approach and techno-technological solutions have been developed to give the citric acid solution the properties of an effective agent for cleaning from organo-mineral deposits of internal surfaces of the hydraulic system of the hemodialysis apparatus in combination with the properties of an agent for high-level disinfection. Conclusion. High efficiency of action eliminates duplication and rotation of used cleaning and disinfection agents, reduces the preparation time of the device for dialysis session. Prospects are associated with the use of locally produced broad-spectrum disinfectant in various departments of the hospital.
