Running out of a single consumable stops a session, so home dialysis runs on a simple stock discipline rather than ad-hoc ordering.
What to know
- Keep a minimum of two weeks' buffer stock at all times, more if you live outside the main Emirates.
- Count stock on the same day each week and order against a fixed reorder level.
- Rotate stock so the earliest expiry is used first.
- Order ahead of public holidays and before travelling.
