The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation is looking for user input on initiating revisions to the ANSI/AAMI RD47:2008 guideline, Reprocessing of Hemodialyzers, to determine whether it is still technically relevant and valuable to the dialysis community.

“RD47 describes the essential elements of good practice for reprocessing hemodialyzers to help ensure device safety and effectiveness,” Cliff Bernier, the director for standards at the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, told NN&I. “These practices embrace considerations of the device and the patient, as well as attention to equipment, facilities, cleaning and disinfection methods, labeling, preparation for multiple use and quality control of the reuse process.” RD47 does not endorse either single use or reuse of dialyzers.

Those interested in participating in the review of RD47 can contact Bernier at 703-253-8263 or via email at cbernier@aami.org.
