Before passing through the dialyzer during prime, the precursor dialysate solution is passed through the sorbent cartridge for purification. As it flows through the sorbent cartridge, impurities such as bacteria, pyrogens, endotoxins, metals, and organic solutes are removed from the precursor dialysate solution. The purified dialysate is stored in a dialysate reservoir until it is circulated to the dialyzer. Once it leaves the dialyzer, the used (spent) dialysate, which includes a patient's ultrafiltrate fluid, passes through the sorbent cartridge, for conversion into regenerated dialysate, also known as cartridge effluent. As indicated, zirconium phosphate present in the sorbent cartridge also serves as a cation exchanger to remove Ca+,
