What is the safe level for total chlorine as per FMC policy?

The safe level for total chlorine as per FMC policy is established at less than 0.10 ppm. This threshold is determined based on the need to ensure patient safety and minimize potential risks associated with chlorine exposure during dialysis. Chlorine can be harmful to patients, particularly those with compromised renal function, as it can react with organic compounds in the body, leading to harmful effects.

Setting the limit at less than 0.10 ppm provides a margin of safety, recognizing that even low levels of chlorine can have an impact on health. In dialysis settings, water quality is critical, and maintaining these standards helps to ensure that patients receive safe and effective treatment. Therefore, adhering to this guideline is crucial for protecting patient welfare and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
