The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity. clinical investigation: there is a possible temporal relationship between the patient¿s adverse event of shortness of breath due to fluid retention and subsequent hospitalization and use of the liberty select cycler; however, the patient was not in treatment at the time of the event and the cause of the fluid retention is unknown.There is no documentation in the complaint file to show a causal relationship between the patient¿s adverse event and use of the liberty select cycler.Additionally, there is no allegation of a device malfunction or deficiency reported for this event.Fluid retention manifests as fluid overload in dialysis patients which may reflect any combination of inappropriate prescription, noncompliance, loss of residual renal function, mechanical problems, and peritoneal membrane dysfunction.Additionally, non-compliance to dietary restrictions can contribute to fluid volume status in patients.Based on the limited information and no allegation or evidence of a device malfunction or deficiency, the liberty select cycler can be excluded as the cause of the patient¿s hospitalization for fluid retention preceded by shortness of breath.
