Biologically Safe Water Filters

NDT (Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation) has just published an article “Dialysis Water and Fluid Purity: More Than Endotoxin”. This article highlights that the chronic exposure of HD patients to low levels of cytokine-inducing microbial components can contribute to the micro inflammatory status of these patients.

Higher purity dialysate (Ultrapure) will reduce the  microbial impact to patients and result in a lower inflammatory status.  This also has a side benefit of a reduced need for certain drugs (EPO), resulting in a cost savings per treatments.  For additional information and studies on ultrafilters, please visit www.biologicalwaterfilters.com.

Hospital water systems contain aquatic microorganisms that can be transferred to vulnerable patients.  Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) can be reduced by filtering the water at the point of use on tubs, sinks and showers.

Most filters only filter to 0.02 microns.  The Nephros SSU is a 0.005 micron ultrafilter that will give you biologically pure water.  The filters have a quick-connect system for quick and easy changes.  The new Single Stage Ultrafilter (SSU) is available in three models; inline for sinks and tubs, hand-held shower and fixed-head shower.
