Preparation and quality management of fluids for haemodialysis and related therapies - Part 4: Concentrates for haemodialysis and related therapies (ISO 23500-4:2019)

This document specifies minimum requirements for concentrates used for haemodialysis and related
therapies.
This document is addressed to the manufacturer of such concentrates. In several instances in this
document, the dialysis fluid is addressed, which is made by the end user, to help clarify the requirements
for manufacturing concentrates. Because the manufacturer of the concentrate does not have control
over the final dialysis fluid, any reference to dialysis fluid is for clarification and is not a requirement of
the manufacturer.
This document includes concentrates in both liquid and powder forms. It also includes additives, also
called spikes, which are chemicals that can be added to the concentrate to supplement or increase the
concentration of one or more of the existing ions in the concentrate and thus in the final dialysis fluid.
This document also specifies requirements for equipment used to mix acid and bicarbonate powders
into concentrate at the user's facility.
Concentrates prepared from pre-packaged salts and water at a dialysis facility for use in that facility
are excluded from the scope of this document. Although references to dialysis fluid appear herein,
this document does not address dialysis fluid as made by the end user. This document also excludes
requirements for the surveillance frequency of water purity used for the making of dialysis fluid by the
dialysis facility. This document does not address bags of sterile dialysis fluid or sorbent dialysis fluid
regeneration systems that regenerate and recirculate small volumes of the dialysis fluid.
This document does not cover the dialysis fluid that is used to clinically dialyse patients. Dialysis fluid
is covered in ISO 23500-5. The making of dialysis fluid involves the proportioning of concentrate and
water at the bedside or in a central dialysis fluid delivery system. Although the label requirements
for dialysis fluid are placed on the labelling of the concentrate, it is the user's responsibility to ensure
proper use.
This document does not cover haemodialysis equipment, which is addressed in IEC 60601-2-16:2012.

Leitfaden für die Vorbereitung und das Qualitätsmanagement von Konzentraten für die Hämodialyse und verwandte Therapien - Teil 4: Konzentrate für die Hämodialyse und verwandte Therapien (ISO 23500-4:2019)

Dieses Dokument legt die Mindestanforderungen an Konzentrate für die Hämodialyse und verwandte Therapien fest.
Dieses Dokument richtet sich an den Hersteller dieser Konzentrate. An mehreren Stellen in diesem Dokument wird die vom Endanwender hergestellte Dialysierflüssigkeit benannt, um die Anforderungen an die Konzentratherstellung zu präzisieren. Da der Hersteller des Konzentrates keine Kontrolle über die fertige Dialysierflüssigkeit hat, dient jede Referenz auf die Dialysierflüssigkeit der Präzisierung und ist keine Anforderung des Herstellers.
Dieses Dokument behandelt Konzentrate sowohl in Flüssig  als auch in Pulverform. Ebenfalls abgehandelt werden Zusätze, auch Spikes genannt. Dies sind Chemikalien, die dem Konzentrat hinzuge¬fügt werden dürfen, um eine oder mehrere der im Konzentrat vorkommenden Ionen und somit auch in der fertigen Dialysierflüssigkeit zu erhöhen.
Dieses Dokument stellt auch Anforderungen an die Geräte zum Mischen von Säure und Bicarbonatpulver zur Herstellung von Konzentrat in der Einrichtung des Anwenders.
Konzentrate aus vorverpackten Salzen sowie Wasser in einer Dialyseeinrichtung zur Verwendung in ebendieser sind vom Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments ausgeschlossen. Obwohl in ihr Referenzen zu Dialysierflüssigkeiten auftauchen, behandelt dieses Dokumentkeine Dialysierflüssigkeiten, die vom Endan-wender hergestellt werden. Dieses Dokument umfasst auch keine Anforderungen an die Überwachungshäufigkeit der Wasserreinheit für Dialysierflüssigkeiten, die in einer Dialyseeinrichtung hergestellt werden. Dieses Dokument behandelt keine Beutel mit steriler Dialysierflüssigkeit oder sorbensbasierte Dialysierflüssigkeits Wiederaufbereitungssysteme, die geringe Mengen der Dialysierflüs-sigkeit wiederaufbereiten und wieder in Umlauf bringen.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht die Dialysierflüssigkeit, die zur klinischen Dialyse bei Patienten verwendet wird. Dialysierflüssigkeit wird in ISO 23500 5 definiert. Die Herstellung von Dialysierflüssigkeit beinhaltet die Dosierung von Konzentraten und Wasser am Krankenbett oder in einem zentralen Dialysierflüssigkeits Zufuhrsystem. Obwohl die Etikettenanforderungen an Dialysierflüssigkeiten auf dem Etikett des Konzentrats vermerkt sind, liegt die Verantwortung für dessen sachgemäße Benutzung beim Anwender.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht die Geräte für Hämodialyse, die in IEC 60601 2 16:2012 dargestellt wer¬den.

Préparation et management de la qualité des liquides d'hémodialyse et de thérapies annexes - Partie 4: Concentrés pour hémodialyse et thérapies apparentées (ISO 23500-4:2019)

Le présent document spécifie les exigences minimales relatives aux concentrés utilisés pour l'hémodialyse et les thérapies apparentées.
Le présent document est destiné aux fabricants de ces concentrés. Le présent document aborde à plusieurs endroits la question du liquide de dialyse produit par l'utilisateur final, afin de clarifier les exigences de production des concentrés. Étant donné que le fabricant du concentré n'a aucun contrôle sur le liquide de dialyse final, toute référence au liquide de dialyse est donnée à titre de clarification et ne constitue pas une exigence du fabricant.
Le présent document inclut les concentrés sous forme liquide et sous forme pulvérulente. Il traite également des additifs, également appelés dopants, qui sont des substances chimiques pouvant être ajoutées au concentré pour enrichir ou augmenter la concentration d'un ou de plusieurs ions existants dans le concentré, et donc dans le liquide de dialyse final.
Le présent document spécifie également des exigences relatives à l'appareil utilisé pour mélanger les poudres d'acide et de bicarbonate dans le concentré au sein de l'installation de l'utilisateur.
Les concentrés préparés à partir de sels préemballés et d'eau dans un centre de dialyse aux fins d'y être utilisés sont exclus du domaine d'application du présent document. Bien qu'il contienne des références au liquide de dialyse, le présent document ne concerne pas le liquide de dialyse produit par l'utilisateur final. Le présent document exclut également du domaine d'application les exigences relatives à la fréquence de surveillance de la pureté de l'eau utilisée pour la production du liquide de dialyse par le centre de dialyse. Le présent document ne traite pas des sacs de liquide de dialyse stériles ou des systèmes de régénération des liquides de dialyse à base de sorbant qui régénèrent et remettent en circulation de petits volumes de liquide de dialyse.
Le présent document ne concerne pas les liquides de dialyse utilisés pour la dialyse clinique des patients. Le liquide de dialyse est abordé dans l'ISO 23500‑5. La production de liquides de dialyse implique le dosage de concentré et d'eau au chevet du patient ou dans un système de distribution de liquide de dialyse centralisé. Bien que les exigences d'étiquetage des liquides de dialyse portent sur l'étiquetage du concentré, il est de la responsabilité de l'utilisateur d'en garantir la bonne utilisation.
De plus, le présent document ne concerne pas l'appareil d'hémodialyse, qui est abordé dans la IEC 60601‑2‑16:2012.

Priprava in vodenje kakovosti tekočin za hemodializo in podobne terapije - 4. del: Koncentrati za hemodializo in podobne terapije (ISO 23500-4:2019)

Ta dokument določa minimalne zahteve glede koncentratov za hemodializo in podobne terapije.
Ta dokument je namenjen proizvajalcem takšnih koncentratov. V nekaterih izdajah tega
dokumenta je obravnavana dializna tekočina, ki jo pripravi končni uporabnik, za namene pojasnitve zahtev za proizvodnjo koncentratov. Ker proizvajalec koncentrata nima nadzora nad končno dializno tekočino, so vsi sklici na dializno tekočino namenjeni pojasnitvi in ne pomenijo zahteve za proizvajalca.
Ta dokument zajema koncentrate v obliki tekočin in praškov. Zajema tudi aditive, imenovane tudi dodatki, ki so kemična sredstva za dodajanje h koncentratu, s čimer se dopolni ali poveča
koncentracija enega ali več obstoječih ionov v koncentratu in s tem tudi v končni dializni tekočini.
Dokument prav tako določa zahteve za opremo, ki se uporablja za mešanje bikarbonatnih praškov
v koncentrat v uporabnikovi opremi.
Koncentrati, pripravljeni v dializni opremi iz vnaprej pakiranih soli in vode, ki se uporabljajo v takšni opremi,
ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Čeprav se v tem dokumentu pojavljajo sklici na dializno tekočino,
ta dokument ne obravnava dializne tekočine, kot jo pripravi končni uporabnik. Ta dokument prav tako ne zajema
zahtev glede pogostosti nadzora za čistost vode, ki se uporablja za pripravo dializne tekočine v dializni opremi. Ta dokument ne obravnava vrečk v sistemih za regeneracijo sterilne dializne tekočine ali sorbentne dializne tekočine, ki regenerirajo in recirkulirajo majhne količine dializne tekočine.
Ta dokument ne zajema dializne tekočine, ki se uporablja pri klinični dializi bolnikov. Dializna tekočina je obravnavana v standardu ISO 23500-5. Priprava dializne tekočine vključuje določanje deleža koncentrata in vode v obposteljnih in centralnih sistemih dovajanja dializne tekočine. Čeprav so zahteve o označevanju za dializno tekočino navedene na etiketi koncentrata, je uporabnik odgovoren, da zagotovi pravilno uporabo.
Ta dokument ne zajema opreme za hemodializo, ki je obravnavana v standardu IEC 60601-2-16:2012.

Introduction
The requirements and goals established by this document will help ensure the effective, safe
performance of haemodialysis concentrates and related materials. This document reflects the
conscientious efforts of concerned physicians, clinical engineers, nurses, dialysis technicians and
dialysis patients, in consultation with device manufacturers and regulatory agency representatives, to
develop a standard for performance levels that could be reasonably achieved at the time of publication.
The term “consensus” as applied to the development of voluntary medical device standards does not
imply unanimity of opinion, but rather reflects the compromise necessary in some instances when a
variety of interests shall be merged.
The rationale for the development of this document is given in informative Annex A.
Throughout this document, requirements and recommendations are made to use ISO-quality water.
Therefore, it is recommended to refer to ISO 23500-3 along with this document.
For the purpose of this document, “concentrates” are a mixture of chemicals and water, or chemicals
in the form of dry powder or other highly concentrated media, which are delivered to the end user to
make dialysis fluid used to perform haemodialysis and related therapies.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 23500-4:2019(E)
Preparation and quality management of fluids for
haemodialysis and related therapies —
Part 4:
Concentrates for haemodialysis and related therapies
1 Scope
This document specifies minimum requirements for concentrates used for haemodialysis and related
therapies.
This document is addressed to the manufacturer of such concentrates. In several instances in this
document, the dialysis fluid is addressed, which is made by the end user, to help clarify the requirements
for manufacturing concentrates. Because the manufacturer of the concentrate does not have control
over the final dialysis fluid, any reference to dialysis fluid is for clarification and is not a requirement of
the manufacturer.
This document includes concentrates in both liquid and powder forms. It also includes additives, also
called spikes, which are chemicals that can be added to the concentrate to supplement or increase the
concentration of one or more of the existing ions in the concentrate and thus in the final dialysis fluid.
This document also specifies requirements for equipment used to mix acid and bicarbonate powders
into concentrate at the user's facility.
Concentrates prepared from pre-packaged salts and water at a dialysis facility for use in that facility
are excluded from the scope of this document. Although references to dialysis fluid appear herein,
this document does not address dialysis fluid as made by the end user. This document also excludes
requirements for the surveillance frequency of water purity used for the making of dialysis fluid by the
dialysis facility. This document does not address bags of sterile dialysis fluid or sorbent dialysis fluid
regeneration systems that regenerate and recirculate small volumes of the dialysis fluid.
This document does not cover the dialysis fluid that is used to clinically dialyse patients. Dialysis fluid
is covered in ISO 23500-5. The making of dialysis fluid involves the proportioning of concentrate and
water at the bedside or in a central dialysis fluid delivery system. Although the label requirements
for dialysis fluid are placed on the labelling of the concentrate, it is the user's responsibility to ensure
proper use.
This document does not cover haemodialysis equipment, which is addressed in IEC 60601-2-16:2012.

4 Requirements
4.1 Concentrates
4.1.1 Physical state
The concentrate for haemodialysis can be supplied in dry or aqueous form. Packaging can be for direct
use with a single dialysis machine or for use in systems supplying multiple dialysis machines (bulk use).
4.1.1.1 Liquid solute concentrations
All electrolytes identified on the label shall be present within ± 5 % or ± 0,1 mEq/l (expressed as dialysis
fluid concentrations), whichever is greater, of the stated concentration, with the exception of sodium,
which shall be present within ± 2,5 % of the labelled concentration or shall be present according
to approved specifications by the local regulations. If used, glucose shall be present within ± 5 %
or ± 0,05 g/l (when measured as properly diluted dialysis fluid), whichever is greater, of the labelled
concentration, or shall be present according to approved specifications by the local regulations. Where
concentrates include non-traditional constituents, such as antioxidants and iron compounds, these
constituents shall be present at nominal concentrations with ± 5 % tolerances or shall be present
according to approved specifications by the local regulations. If alternate, locally approved tolerances
are used, the tolerances shall be similarly stated and the rationale for their use documented.
Most concentrates are manufactured with standard traditional chemicals such as sodium chloride,
potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, acetic acid, and glucose. New concentrates
