Combined FMEA and Cause-Effect Analysis Method for Risk Assessment of Failures Impacting Hemodialysis Water Quality.

Key takeaways

People on hemodialysis have their blood cleaned with large amounts of water every week, so bad water can harm them. Researchers used two formal safety checklists to rank what can go wrong in a dialysis center's water system, including chemical contamination, germs growing in the water, bacterial toxins, and slime buildup inside the pipes. This is a way of planning safety checks, not a study of patients, so there are no results yet on whether it prevents illness.
