Course Details

The Dialysis Technician course trains students to become skilled dialysis technicians, capable of handling haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis on both Fresinius and B Braun dialysis machines. The course also includes training on the preparation of dialysis fluids, as well as the washing and storage of dialyzers for reuse. A diploma or certificate holder is capable of setting up and operating the dialysis machines, mixing dialysate according to the formula, and priming dialyzer with saline or heparinized solution to prepare the machine. Our dialysis training includes running safety checks for the machine settings, particularly the pressures, conductivity, and temperature. Further, students are trained to be vigilant regarding the patient’s reactions and monitor venous and arterial pressures, fluid removal and replacement as achieved during the dialysis procedure.
