The purpose of setting the standard was not to eliminate the need for dialysis units from buying the CSA standard but to help interpret and understand what the standard means. It is to also help answer questions around standards that might be applicable to the dialysis community. I encourage every dialysis tech to ensure their unit has a copy of the applicable CSA standards, which I will list below. If people are asking about the content of the standard I will refer them to the applicable section of the standard but not give the info that is contained therein.
Thanks
