Itching, confusion, delusions & hyperventilation

Hey guys.........JUST got back from dialysis.  First thing, I ask my tech what the number is for re-use on my filter...........she says........47.........I say....isn't that a "bit much?".........she sends in the rinse and re-use tech, who tells me they test each one after use....and they use them up to..........75...........TIMES!!!!!!
Epoman will LOVE this....it is his most favorite place....DAVITA!!!!
NOW WHAT??!!!!!!

I have heard that some do continue to reuse them as long as they pass the capacity test.

However there is no way they should be reusing that many times  Because most filters really start reducing in their ability to reduce microglobulin levels.

The filter I use is one of the ones at the higher end of removing lots of microglobulins and then continues consistently to remove that same amount of microglobulins into the 15-20 reuse range.

Some reuse filters really drop fast in microglobulin levels just after 5 reuses.

TELL them that you do not want to reuse after a certain number of times.  They have to comply with what you want.
