Abstract

Sterilization of a dialyzer, using a saturated and wet semipermeable membrane and irradiating said dialyzer in the presence of an antibacterial agent. The method is especially effective and safe, affords elimination of labor for preparation for dialysis, and has special utility when the dialyzer is an artificial kidney containing a multiplicity of hollow filament semipermeable membranes.
