NANT
is offering a series of three one-hour webinars in August focusing
on water treatment that will provide a total of 3.6 contact hours.
Both biomedical and clinical technicians will enjoy Rich Benner,
Gambro; John Sweeny and Jim Baker, AmeriWater discuss various aspects
of water treatment and its impact on dialysis. These webinars are
part of NANT member services to help technicians secure the contact
hours required for recertification.
Each webinar will be held at 3 pm ET / 2 pm CT / 1 pm MT / 12 noon
PT. Each webinar will be recorded so that if you are unable to participate
in the webinar live, you may request the link to hear it at your
convenience.
On August 4, Rich Benner focuses on water and dialysate quality,
current and future AAMI standards, bacteriology of ultrapure dialysate,
the water room environment, and water purification equipment. Of
particular interest in Dialysis Water Purification, AAMI, and Conditions
of Coverage will be a discussion about soon to be implemented new
standards by AAMI.
On August 11, John Sweeny presents The Coming of Age of UltraPure
Water. Every time we dialyze a patient, their immune system is attacked.
Ultrapure water can potentially result in extended life, decreased
need for medications and shorter hospital stays. This session presents
the evolution of water quality and the emergence of requirements
for ultrapure water as best for the dialysis patient.
On August 18, Jim Baker discusses Big Bad Carbon. How does carbon
work? How does pH level affect it? What can you do to ensure that
carbon does not detrimentally impact your water purification system?
