Before treatment
The care team checks relevant information such as your weight, blood pressure, symptoms and vascular access, according to your plan.
Hemodialysis filters wastes and extra water from the blood when the kidneys can no longer do enough of that work. It is prescribed to each patient by their kidney-care team.
Neo’s final clinical service details will be confirmed for each hospital.Your exact prescription, treatment time and access plan are individual. This overview is general education.
The care team checks relevant information such as your weight, blood pressure, symptoms and vascular access, according to your plan.
Blood travels through a dialyzer outside the body, where waste and extra fluid are filtered before the blood returns.
The team completes the required checks, shares relevant observations and confirms the next step in your schedule.
The patient journey pairs the essentials of centre-based treatment with clearer preparation, calmer communication and practical guidance for families.
Preparation before arrival with a centre-confirmed checklist.
Consistent communication about the visit and the next step.
Patient comfort considered in the treatment environment.
Family guidance that supports — and never replaces — medical advice.
The infection-control work around a dialysis session is invisible to the patient, so here is the part that concerns your chair specifically.
The machine's internal circuit has completed its disinfection cycle, and the chair, armrests, side table and blood-pressure cuff have been wiped with disinfectant. Fresh linen is laid for every patient, not every shift.
Fistula needles, blood lines, syringes and dressings are single-use. Packs are opened at your chair so you can see the seal break, and everything is discarded into segregated biomedical waste afterwards.
Staff change gloves between patients and between separate tasks on the same patient — handling your access site and handling the machine controls are treated as different tasks.
Dialysis brings a large volume of water into close contact with your blood, so the reverse-osmosis plant runs on a documented check and disinfection schedule, with periodic external microbiological and endotoxin testing you may ask to see.
