What is the FMS action level for endotoxin in product water exiting the RO system?

The FMS action level for endotoxin in product water exiting the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is established at 0.125 EU/ml. This level is critical because it reflects a threshold designed to ensure patient safety and maintain the integrity of the water treatment system. Endotoxins are bacterial toxins that can lead to serious health implications, especially in a clinical setting involving dialysis or other patient care scenarios where water quality is paramount.

Setting the action level at 0.125 EU/ml helps facilities monitor and manage their water purification processes effectively, prompting necessary interventions if the levels exceed this specified limit. In practical terms, adherence to this standard ensures that the water produced is within safe and acceptable limits for use in medical applications, protecting patients from potential adverse effects associated with endotoxin exposure.
