Today, one of the fundamental ways to maintain human health at its highest level is by consuming healthy and high-quality water. Water is a basic necessity for the survival of the human body and all living organisms. This need should be met with the highest quality possible from a biological and ecological perspective. Purified water is essential not only for drinking but also for various applications, including the medical sector. Ensuring water purification is of paramount importance for human health.
To continue their lives, hemodialysis treatment is essential for individuals facing serious health issues such as kidney failure. During this treatment process, waste products and excess fluids that need to be removed from the patient’s body are eliminated through hemodialysis machines. However, this treatment method requires water of the highest standard. In the case of hemodialysis water systems, while a healthy individual consumes around 2 liters of water a day, dialysis patients are exposed to approximately 120 liters of water and blood mixture during a single dialysis session. This water needs to be about 100 times purer than drinking water standards. Hemodialysis systems ensure the regular removal of waste products and excess water from individuals with kidney failure. The hemodialysis water treatment system ensures that the substances and contaminants known to be toxic in water are reduced to the required levels. With these systems, the water requirement for various purposes, such as preparing dialysate and preparing the dialyzer, is met at suitable flow rates, pressures, and temperatures. During this process, a solution called hemodialysis fluid is used. This solution helps remove waste products and excess water from the body by passing them through the hemodialysis machine. Hemodialysis fluid is prepared from water used in hemodialysis systems. Therefore, the significance of water purification systems in hemodialysis systems is enormous. Water purification systems clean the water used in hemodialysis systems from bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants, ensuring the safety and efficacy of hemodialysis fluid and protecting patient health.

With RIVAMED brand hemodialysis water treatment systems, we provide solutions tailored to the unique needs of projects. Reverse osmosis technology, designed to enhance the quality of water used during hemodialysis procedures, filters dissolved substances in the molecular structure of water to obtain high-quality water. Hemodialysis water reverse osmosis devices improve water quality during hemodialysis treatments. These devices filter the dissolved substances in the molecular structure of water, improving the water’s quality and making it suitable for hemodialysis procedures.
Hemodialysis water treatment systems generally consist of a filter and a membrane through which water will pass. The filter improves the water’s quality by filtering dissolved substances and improving the water’s quality. These devices also have a tank and a control panel, which maintain the water quality and monitor and adjust the device’s performance.
The working principle of hemodialysis water reverse osmosis devices involves the passage of water through the device, where dissolved substances are filtered through the filter and membrane. As a result, the water quality improves, and the water from the device is ready for use during hemodialysis treatments. RIVAMED hemodialysis water treatment systems are designed to protect patients’ health. These state-of-the-art systems ensure that the water used during hemodialysis treatments is ultra-high purity, enabling safe and effective treatments.
- Membrane Quality: The membranes used in hemodialysis water treatment systems have high water purification capacities and are high quality. These membranes effectively filter dissolved solids, microorganisms, toxins, and heavy metals.
- Purification Efficiency: Reverse osmosis systems can achieve water purification efficiency above 99%. This ensures the highest quality water, crucial for patient safety. RIVAMED dialysis water treatment systems provide high purification efficiency.
