When good water goes bad: how it happens, clinical consequences and possible solutions.

abstract：:The central dialysis fluid delivery system (CDDS) has been working exclusively in Japan since 1970, a fact which proves that CDDS is useful in the multi-patient treatment with in-center regular hemodialysis. It is a cost-effective, labor-saving and time-tested system with 40 years of experience. Microbial safety is im...
