Intravenous Normal Saline is a sterile solution having the same concentration of solutes and having equal osmotic pressure as that of blood. This is to mean that this solution is similar to the liquid composition of the human body and therefore it is safe to be introduced into the circulatory system of the body.
In haemodialysis, NS is use to flush and clean the "bloodline" sets and also the dialyser.It is used at the end of treatment to return extra-corporeal blood back to the patient. It is also use to correct any situation where over extraction of body fluids during treatment and also in administering large amount of medication.

AVF Needles
These are used to deliver blood from the circulatory system for treatment and returned the "cleansed" extra-corporeal blood blood back to the patient.
The needle is 1 inch in length and has a 12 inches plastic tubing attached to it.It also has a pair of wings for firm handling when cannulating the patient.The larger the internal diameter of the needle will ensure a greater blood pump speed can be supported thus resulting in a better treatment outcome.
Transducer protector
It is a device to protect the transducer in the haemodialysis machine from being contaminated with blood or body fluids. This device is to monitor pressure with the extra-corporeal blood circuit during treatment. Any contaminated transducer protector needs to be change immediate or risk contaminating other patients.
