Delta ion has taken every step to ensure patient safety. Each new dialysis facility is designed to deliver “ultra pure” water.
during each dialysis treatment, the patient’s blood is cleaned across an artificial kidney membrane with a cleansing solution (dialysate) made from purified water. Current standards in the united states recommend that the water not contain more than 200 colony forming units of bacteria per milliliter (ml) of water and less than 2 endotoxin units per ml of water.
we believe that lowering the amount of bacteria and endotoxin in the water will benefit our patients and we have therefore chosen to use "ultra pure" water standards instead of conventional standards.
these "ultra pure" standards have 1000 times less bacteria as compared to conventional standards. Available data would support that less bacteria and toxins results in a decrease of the chronic inflammation state often seen in dialysis patients.
we hope this translates to improved nutritional status, less anemia, more clearance of b2 micro-globulin and possibly even less cardio-vascular complications. There are clear morbidity and mortality benefits with improving nutrition and anemia. By clearing more b2 micro-globulin; carpal tunnel syndrome and arthopathies become less significant and improve patient quality of life.
with respect to the lower cardio-vascular complications, the hypothesis is- less chronic inflammation from less bacteria and toxins will cause less vascular disease. This would result in fewer heart attacks, less strokes and less painful peripheral vascular diseases.
we always have been, and will continue to be, dedicated to patient care and now “ultra pure” water is another way for us to better the standard of care.
