Dialysis Water Quality Testing

Clinical-Grade Monitoring to Protect Patient Health The Challenge


A dialysis facility requires routine monitoring of its water treatment system to support infection control, patient safety, and compliance with clinical guidance. The facility needs accurate, defensible testing for Total Viable Count (TVC), endotoxins, and Legionella, performed by a laboratory with the appropriate accreditations and experience in clinical water systems.

Our Solution

Bonner Analytical delivers a comprehensive dialysis water testing program
designed specifically for clinical environments, including:

  • Total Viable Count (TVC) & Endotoxin Testing - Routine microbiological and endotoxin analyses verify dialysis water quality, system performance, and ongoing control of bacterial and pyrogenic risk.
  • Legionella Testing by a CDC ELITE Accredited Laboratory - Legionella analyses performed under the CDC’s Environmental Legionella Isolation Techniques Evaluation (ELITE) program, providing added confidence in method performance and result accuracy.
  • Quality-Driven Laboratory Practices - Strict sample handling, validated methods, and documented QA/QC to support clinical review and inspection readiness.
  • Clear, Clinically Actionable Reporting - Results presented in a format that supports infection control review, trending, and corrective action when needed.

The Impact

With a trusted, accredited laboratory partner, the dialysis facility strengthens its water quality monitoring program, maintains consistent control of TVC, endotoxins, and Legionella, and reduces patient risk. The program supports informed decision-making, reinforces infection prevention efforts, and sustains confidence among clinical staff and patients.

Why It Matters

Dialysis patients are uniquely vulnerable to waterborne contaminants. Accurate monitoring of TVC, endotoxins, and Legionella—backed by CDC ELITE accreditation, rigorous microbiological controls, and defensible data—plays a critical role in protecting patient health, preventing adverse outcomes, and maintaining clinical trust
