Manufacturer Narrative

There is no documentation to show a causal relationship between the patient event of cardiac arrest and the 2008t hemodialysis (hd) machine.Additionally, there is no allegation of a machine malfunction.However, there is a temporal relationship between hd therapy on the 2008t machine and the cardiac arrest as the patient was completing treatment at the time of the event.Per the biomedical technician, the machine passed all testing after the event.It is unknown if the patient had comorbidities or was taking any medication that could have caused or contributed to the cardiac arrest.Based on available information, the cause of the cardiac arrest is unknown.

Manufacturer Narrative

Follow-up #2 device evaluation: a sample was not returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation and the lot number or catalog number was not provided.Therefore, the complaint cannot be confirmed.A manufacturing review was performed on the lot numbers for all bloodline products shipped to the facility for the three (3) month time frame which immediately preceded the event occurrence date.A records review was performed on the 11 lots identified by the manufacturer.The device history record (dhr) was reviewed on these lots and confirmed that there were no non-conformances or any other occurrence in production identified during the manufacturing process which could be associated with the reported event.All the applicable in-process and final quality control tests were found to be without acceptable results for the 11 lots identified in this review.All lots met the required release criteria.A definitive conclusion regarding the complaint incident cannot be reached without a physical examination of the complaint sample.
