On Jan. 26, 2011, AAMI announced the adoption of a new standard for levels of bacteria and endotoxins allowed in dialysate. The standard, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 1163, replaces the AAMI RD52 standard .
The Nephros Dual Stage Ultrafilter (DSU) will enable dialysis clinics to meet these new standards. Installation is simple; and the effective life-span of these filters makes them very cost-effective.

The most serious and most common cause of infections in burn patients is from a waterborne pathogen, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. All hospital patients can be exposed to infections from hospital water due to biofilm in the water system. Centralized disinfection is unable to remove this biofilm. A study was conducted at two large US hospitals to determine the effectiveness of point-of-use ultrafiltration for infection control. After the Nephros DSU was installed, waterborne bacteria was eliminated. We will be exhibiting the DSU at the American Burn Association Meeting in Chicago on March 29 – April 1, 2011.
