Duties and responsibilities:

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

Dialysis technicians must fully understand the operation of the kidney dialysis machines. They are responsible for their operation, cleaning, and sterilization. They must also fully understand their patient’s needs. Dialysis technicians carefully monitor and record weight and vital signs 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 safely precautions against infectious diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS.
