We reported the high effectiveness of electrolyzed strong acid aqueous solution (ESAAS) in cleaning hemodialysis lines. Although ESAAS has a strong bactericidal action, one concern is its strong acidity. It has a pH of 2.3-2.7, more than 1,000 mV in oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and 10-50 ppm of available chlorine. The possibility of metal corrosion, degradation of synthetic resins, chorine gas emission, or dissolving calcium carbonate (CaCO3) deposits due to ESAAS's acidity was tested using in vitro experiments. The bactericidal and antiviral effects of various ESAAS's were also tested. Metal corrosion and synthetic resin degradation, although they occurred, were not serious. There were no problems with chlorine gas emission and dissolving of CaCO3 deposits. Each type of ESAAS showed almost the same bactericidal and antiviral effect, but in some cases differences were observed.
