CSA Z23500-1:20
Preparation and quality management of fluids for haemodialysis and related therapies — Part 1: General requirements (Adopted ISO 23500-1: 2019, first edition, 2019-02, with Canadian deviations)

Preface:

This is the first edition of CSA Z23500-1, Preparation and quality management of fluids for haemodialysis and related therapies — Part 1: General requirements, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 23500-1 (first edition, 2019-02). It replaces CAN/CSA-Z23500:16 (adopted ISO 23500:2014), Guidance for the preparation and quality management of fluids for haemodialysis and related therapies.

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope:

1.1 General
This document is the base standard for a number of other standards dealing with water treatment equipment, water, dialysis water, concentrates, and dialysis fluid (ISO 23500 series) and provides dialysis practitioners with guidance on the preparation of dialysis fluid for haemodialysis and related therapies and substitution fluid for use in online therapies, such as haemodiafiltration and haemofiltration. As such, this document functions as a recommended practice.

This document does not address clinical issues that might be associated with inappropriate usage of the water, dialysis water, concentrates, or dialysis fluid. Healthcare professionals involved in the provision of treatment for kidney failure should make the final decision regarding the applications with which these fluids are used, for example, haemodialysis, haemodiafiltration, high-flux haemodialysis, and the reprocessing of dialysers, and need to be aware of the issues that the use of inappropriate fluid quality raises in each of the therapies.

The concepts incorporated in this document should not be considered inflexible or static. The recommendations presented here should be reviewed periodically in order to assimilate increased understanding of the role of dialysis fluid purity in patient outcomes and technological developments.

1.2 Inclusions
This document addresses the user’s responsibility for dialysis fluid once the equipment used in its preparation has been delivered and installed.

For the purposes of this document, dialysis fluid includes:
a) dialysis water (see 3.17 for definition) used for the preparation of dialysis fluid and substitution fluid
b) dialysis water used for the preparation of concentrates at the user’s facility
c) concentrates
d) the final dialysis fluid and substitution fluid.

The scope of this document includes
a) the quality management of equipment used to treat and distribute water used for the preparation of dialysis fluid and substitution fluid, from the point at which municipal water enters the dialysis facility to the point at which the final dialysis fluid enters the dialyser or the point at which substitution fluid is infused
b) equipment used to prepare concentrate from powder or other highly concentrated media at a dialysis facility, and
c) preparation of the final dialysis fluid or substitution fluid from dialysis water and concentrates.

NOTE Because water used to prepare dialysis fluid can also be used to reprocess dialysers not marked intended for single use, this aspect of water use is also covered by this document.

1.3 Exclusions
This document does not apply to sorbent-based dialysis fluid regeneration systems that regenerate and recirculate small volumes of dialysis fluid, systems for continuous renal replacement therapy that use pre-packaged solutions, and systems and solutions for peritoneal dialysis.

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope:

1.1 General
This document is addressed to the manufacturer and/or supplier of water treatment systems and/or devices used for the express purpose of providing water for haemodialysis or related therapies.

1.2 Inclusions
This document covers devices used to treat potable water intended for use in the delivery of haemodialysis and related therapies, including water used for:
a) the preparation of concentrates from powder or other highly concentrated media at a dialysis facility;
b) the preparation of dialysis fluid, including dialysis fluid that can be used for the preparation of substitution fluid;
c) the reprocessing of dialysers intended for single use where permitted for multiple uses
d) the reprocessing of dialysers not specifically marked as intended for single use.

This document includes all devices, piping and fittings between the point at which potable water is delivered to the water treatment system, and the point of use of the dialysis water. Examples of the devices are water purification devices, online water quality monitors (such as conductivity monitors), and piping systems for the distribution of dialysis water.

1.3 Exclusions
This document excludes dialysis fluid supply systems that proportion water and concentrates to produce dialysis fluid, sorbent dialysis fluid regeneration systems that regenerate and recirculate small volumes of the dialysis fluid, dialysis concentrates, haemodiafiltration systems, haemofiltration systems, systems that process dialysers for multiple uses, and peritoneal dialysis systems. Some of these devices, such as dialysis fluid delivery systems and concentrates, are addressed in other documents such as ISO 23500-4 and ISO 23500-5.

This document also excludes the on-going surveillance of the purity of water used for dialysis fluid, concentrate preparation, or dialyser reprocessing which is addressed in ISO 23500-1.

Preparation and quality management of fluids for haemodialysis and related therapies — Part 4: Concentrates for haemodialysis and related therapies (Adopted ISO 23500-4:2019, first edition, 2019-02, with Canadian deviations)

Preface:

This is the first edition of CSA Z23500-4, Preparation and quality management of fluids for haemodialysis and related therapies — Part 4: Concentrates for haemodialysis and related therapies, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 23500-4 (first edition, 2019-02). It replaces CAN/CSA-ISO 13958:15 (adopted ISO 13958:2014), Concentrates for haemodialysis and related therapies.

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope:

This document specifies minimum requirements for concentrates used for haemodialysis and related therapies.

This document is addressed to the manufacturer of such concentrates. In several instances in this document, the dialysis fluid is addressed, which is made by the end user, to help clarify the requirements for manufacturing concentrates. Because the manufacturer of the concentrate does not have control over the final dialysis fluid, any reference to dialysis fluid is for clarification and is not a requirement of the manufacturer.

This document includes concentrates in both liquid and powder forms. It also includes additives, also called spikes, which are chemicals that can be added to the concentrate to supplement or increase the concentration of one or more of the existing ions in the concentrate and thus in the final dialysis fluid.

This document also specifies requirements for equipment used to mix acid and bicarbonate powders into concentrate at the user’s facility.

Concentrates prepared from pre-packaged salts and water at a dialysis facility for use in that facility are excluded from the scope of this document. Although references to dialysis fluid appear herein, this document does not address dialysis fluid as made by the end user. This document also excludes requirements for the surveillance frequency of water purity used for the making of dialysis fluid by the dialysis facility. This document does not address bags of sterile dialysis fluid or sorbent dialysis fluid regeneration systems that regenerate and recirculate small volumes of the dialysis fluid.

This document does not cover the dialysis fluid that is used to clinically dialyse patients. Dialysis fluid is covered in ISO 23500-5. The making of dialysis fluid involves the proportioning of concentrate and water at the bedside or in a central dialysis fluid delivery system. Although the label requirements for dialysis fluid are placed on the labelling of the concentrate, it is the user’s responsibility to ensure proper use.

This document does not cover haemodialysis equipment, which is addressed in IEC 60601-2-16:2012.
