Manufacturer Narrative

The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity.  clinical investigation: a temporal relationship exists between continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (ccpd) therapy utilizing the liberty select cycler and the patient¿s adverse event of dyspnea.It has been well established cardiovascular disease presents complications for chronic kidney disease patients by increasing cardiopulmonary inflammatory response and deleteriously altering fluid balance systemically.In consideration of the patient¿s admitting diagnoses, the cause of the patient¿s dyspnea is more than likely attributed to the patient¿s multimorbidity, particularly in the environment of preexisting congestive heart failure with cor pulmonale and pulmonary disease.This is further supported by the confirmation this event was not due to a deficiency or malfunction of the liberty select cycler as reported by a medical professional.Therefore, the liberty select cycler can be excluded from the root cause of this patient¿s adverse event.Based on the available information, there was no allegation or objective evidence any fresenius product(s) or device(s) deficiency or malfunction caused or contributed to this patient¿s adverse event.

Event Description

A hospital peritoneal dialysis registered nurse [(pd)rn] reported to fresenius this 44-year-old female pd patient on continuous cyclic pd (ccpd) therapy on the liberty select cycler experienced dyspnea following a pd treatment while hospitalized.There was no specific allegation this adverse event was due to a deficiency or malfunction of any fresenius product(s) or device(s) in the initial reporting.Upon follow up with the patient¿s pdrn, it was reported this patient was hospitalized on (b)(6) 2022 for pneumonia, an exacerbation of preexisting congestive heart failure, pleural effusions and hypoxemic respiratory failure.It was affirmed these diagnoses were attributed to the patient¿s multimorbidity and determined to be unrelated to pd therapy.It was unknown if the patient¿s symptoms regarding these diagnoses occurred during a home ccpd treatment on their home cycler prior to hospital admission.The patient underwent a ccpd treatment on (b)(6) 2022, utilizing a hospital provided liberty select cycler while admitted.Upon completion of the pd treatment on the morning of (b)(6) 2022, the patient experienced severe dyspnea.The hospital rapid response team was activated, and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (icu).The patient was intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation on (b)(6) 2022 while in the icu.The patient was transitioned to hemodialysis (hd) for renal replacement therapy through an existing vascath (not a fresenius product) on a hospital provided 2008t hd system for the duration of the admission.It was explained the patient was transitioned to hd therapy for therapeutic effect while critically ill.The patient remains intubated on mechanical ventilation in the icu while they recover from this event.It was confirmed the patient¿s pneumonia, exacerbation of preexisting congestive heart failure, pleural effusions and hypoxemic respiratory failure were unrelated to pd therapy.Additionally, it was confirmed the patient¿s dyspnea experienced following a pd treatment was not due to a deficiency or malfunction of any fresenius product(s) or device(s).It was believed the patient will resume ccpd therapy on the same home liberty select cycler upon discharge.
