Event Description

Peritoneal dialysis nurse reported liberty cycler overfilled patient on his initial fill.Patient reported the fill took 2 hours and cycler would not allow a stat drain.Patient was getting scale alarms and performed a manual drain for 5 liters.Treatment details was requested and there was no treatment data for the date of the alleged event.However clinic notes indicate the patient manually drained 5000ml after completing a treatment on that date.Treatment data was assessed for 150% and 180% iipv and did reveal an episode of increased intraperitoneal volume (iipv).The largest drain volume from this treatment occurred during drain (drain unknown) where 5000ml drained.This drain is 209% of the prescribed fill volume.In order to be a reportable malfunction, at least 180% of the prescribed fill volume would have to have been drained.A 180% of the prescribed fill volume of 2397ml is 4315ml.Therefore, a reportable malfunction has occurred.The liberty cycler was not replaced.
