Event Description
|
It was reported via user facility medwatch ((b)(4)) that a bloodline blood leak occurred during a patient¿s hemodialysis (hd) treatment.Additional information was obtained through follow-up with the initial reporter.The blood leak was reportedly coming from a tear that was identified on the bloodline tubing (exact location not specified).The leak occurred approximately two minutes into the patient¿s hd treatment.Once the blood was noted to be dripping from the device, the treatment was paused.A fresenius dialyzer was being used, along with a fresenius machine.The machine did not alarm.No damage was identified on the combi set during the pre-treatment inspection, and there were no observed leaks during the priming phase.The patient¿s blood was not returned.Estimated blood loss (ebl) was reportedly 200 ml.It was confirmed there was no patient injury, no adverse effects were experienced, and no medical intervention was required as a result of the reported event.The patient completed their treatment after being re-setup with new supplies on the same machine.The dialyzer was reported to be available for a manufacturer evaluation.
