  1. Acid concentrates were selected based on each individual patient’s standard of care hemodialysis prescription. One patient was prescribed NaturaLyte with a potassium bath of 3 mEq/L (08–3251-9)
  2. Acid concentrate constituents are expressed as acid portion only prior to the addition and reaction of NaturaLyte bicarbonate powder 4000 series or equivalent. For use with hemodialysis equipment capable of calibration for a mix ratio of 1:44 (also expressed as 45X or 1:1.72:42.28)
