Dialysers
We supply dialysers by the carton to registered renal units only. From Midrand, we arrange next-day courier to major centres and scheduled deliveries further afield.
What a dialyser is
A dialyser is the filter component used within a haemodialysis circuit. On this page we cover supply information for renal units, including common size bands, unit handling points, storage considerations and the details we need when you send an enquiry.
We distribute dialysers as consumable stock for registered renal units only. Carton supply suits units that plan around weekly or monthly usage, keep receiving records, and need consistent delivery into Johannesburg, Pretoria, Midrand and other major centres. We do not provide patient-specific product selection or treatment guidance.
Size bands and common options
Dialysers are generally ordered by the unit's required membrane surface area, housing format and connection compatibility. Exact ranges vary by item, so the safest route is to send the unit specification already approved by your renal team and procurement process.
Typical option groups requested by buyers include the following:
- Smaller surface area units for facilities standardising around lower priming volumes or particular machine set-ups.
- Mid-range surface area units commonly kept as routine ward or clinic stock.
- Larger surface area units used where the renal unit's protocol calls for that format.
- Different housing and header dimensions to match the unit's approved consumable list.
- Sterile single-use packed dialysers supplied in sealed cartons for store issue.
Working limits matter at purchasing stage because each unit stocks according to its own approved operating parameters. When you enquire, tell us the membrane area or product code you need, the connection style, and any packaging preference if your stores team separates by treatment bay or weekly issue. If you are replacing an existing line item, include the full label wording from the carton where possible, it helps avoid mix-ups.
Where dialysers suit, and where they do not
Carton-supplied dialysers suit renal units that run planned purchasing cycles, maintain controlled medical stores, and receive inward goods during set hours. They are also a practical fit where courier deliveries must be booked around hospital receiving windows or clinic security access.
- Suitable for registered renal units with formal ordering and goods receiving procedures.
- Suitable for central stores issuing stock to satellite treatment rooms.
- Suitable for units needing next-day courier to major centres from Midrand dispatch.
- Less suitable where storage conditions are hot, damp or exposed to direct sun.
- Less suitable where carton labels are removed before inward checks, which can complicate traceability.
- Not supplied to members of the public.
If your unit is in a coastal area such as Durban, Gqeberha or Cape Town, keep cartons clear of floor moisture and high humidity. In inland areas like Gauteng and the Free State, heat build-up in receiving rooms can be the bigger issue during summer afternoons, so stock should be moved promptly into the correct store.
Receiving, storage and unit handling
Dialysers should be received into a clean dry area and checked against the delivery note before being moved to stores. Outer cartons should stay intact until inward checks are complete. If a carton arrives wet, crushed or opened, note it at receiving and set it aside for internal review before issue.
General handling points for stores teams:
- Store in the original sealed carton until issued for use.
- Keep away from direct sunlight, roof leaks and damp walls.
- Do not stack beyond the carton guidance shown on the outer packaging.
- Rotate stock by received date and batch detail according to your unit procedure.
- Keep cartons off the floor on shelving or pallets in a dry room.
- Avoid placing stock near disinfectant spill areas or chemical decanting points.
Power cuts can affect receiving areas and access control, so many units prefer scheduled deliveries early in the day. If your site has limited lift access, basement receiving, or municipal delivery time restrictions, mention this when you enquire so the consignment can be planned properly.
Site and supply considerations
Dialysers do not require installation by us, but the site still needs suitable receiving and storage arrangements. The main requirement is that the unit can accept medical consumables during its stated hours and move cartons quickly into controlled storage. For larger orders, tell us whether deliveries go to central receiving, pharmacy stores or the renal unit directly.
For courier planning, it helps to know:
- Town or suburb, such as Midrand, Sandton, Centurion, Pretoria East or Johannesburg South.
- Whether next-day courier is required to a major centre.
- Any booking reference needed before delivery vehicles are admitted.
- Whether there are loading bay height limits, stairs only, or no after-hours receiving.
- If your unit prefers split deliveries for storage space reasons.
Units further from the main corridors can still be supplied on a scheduled basis. Where roads, weather or regional line-haul timing affect delivery, we will work around the receiving pattern your procurement team sets. A short note upfront saves delays later.
What to send with your enquiry
To quote correctly and avoid back-and-forth, send the technical and delivery details your stores or procurement team already uses. We can then match the enquiry to the correct dialyser line and carton format without guessing.
Please include the following in your enquiry form submission:
- Name of the registered renal unit and delivery town.
- Dialyser description, membrane area or internal item code.
- Required carton quantity and your expected call-off pattern.
- Whether this is a once-off order or part of a standing order request.
- Receiving days and times, plus any site access instructions.
- Any substitution position set by your procurement process, if applicable.
If you are unsure about the exact code, send clear photos of the carton label and end panel through your normal procurement channel before submitting the enquiry. That small step often prevents ordering errors and saves a missed delivery run.
