## Abstract

This final rule revises the Medicare conditions for coverage of suppliers of end-stage renal disease services. The revisions remove general language in the regulations regarding water quality; incorporate by reference standards for monitoring the quality of water used in dialysis as published by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) in its document, ``Hemodialysis Systems'' (second edition); and update existing regulations to incorporate by reference the second edition of AAMI's voluntary guidelines on ``Reuse of Hemodialyzers.''
