A haemodialysis machine preventive maintenance schedule lists the checks and jobs done on the equipment at fixed intervals, how long each takes, and in what order of frequency, so problems are found before the haemodialysis machine fails. This page gives the schedule used in the PlantOps360 task library for haemodialysis machine (per machine) and dialysis water), which follows common industry practice for general-purpose equipment. It is also searched for as dialysis machine, hemodialysis, haemodialysis, dialyser.
The maker’s manual and your site safety procedures always come first where they differ. Intervals set by law differ by state.
Haemodialysis machine preventive maintenance schedule and checklist
| How often | Task | Estimated time |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | Run the self-test and disinfection cycle; check conductivity and temperature | 5 min |
| Weekly | Descale and disinfect as per OEM; check water pressure and filters | 15 min |
| Monthly | Check pumps, valves and the blood leak detector; check the battery | 30 min |
| Quarterly | Check flow accuracy and fluid balance; replace filters | 60 min |
| Half-yearly | Replace seals, O-rings and filters as per OEM hours | 90 min |
| Annual | Annual calibration and electrical safety test | 150 min |
Haemodialysis machine maintenance frequency and yearly workload
At the estimated times, one haemodialysis machine needs about 59 hours of preventive maintenance a year. The biggest single job is “Annual calibration and electrical safety test” at 150 minutes, done annual. Multiply by the number of units you have to see the workload for your plant.
| Frequency | Tasks | Time per round | Hours per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | 1 | 5 min | 30.4 h |
| Weekly | 1 | 15 min | 13.0 h |
| Monthly | 1 | 30 min | 6.0 h |
| Quarterly | 1 | 60 min | 4.0 h |
| Half-yearly | 1 | 90 min | 3.0 h |
| Annual | 1 | 150 min | 2.5 h |
