Dialysis technician

Duties and responsibilities:

Dialysis technicians operate machines that remove waste and excess fluids from the blood of patients whose kidneys can no longer carry out these functions. Dialysis technicians are also referred as renal dialysis technicians, hemodialysis technicians. They work under the supervision of physicians, primarily in hospitals and clinics.

Dialysis technicians must fully understand the operation of kidney dialysis machines. They are responsible for their operation, cleaning, and sterilization. They must also fully understand their patients’ needs. Dialysis technicians carefully monitor and record weight and vital sings before, during, and after the blood cleaning procedures. Additionally, they instruct patients about in-home treatments. Because dialysis technicians work with blood, they must exercise strict safety precautions against infectious diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS.
