Table 1 Four recommended measures in preparation for earthquakes in dialysis facilities by Akatsuka [5]
From: Earthquake, volcanic eruption, flood, and CBRNE: How can we prepare for disasters?
1. | Un-lock the casters of floor-type dialysis monitors |
2. | Lock the casters of dialysis beds |
3. | Fasten dialysis fluid delivery systems and reverse osmosis (RO) systems to the floor with anchor bolts or place those devices on a base isolation stand |
4. | Use flexible tubes for the connection of dialysis fluid delivery systems and RO systems to the wall of a machine room |
