Event Description
|
A peritoneal dialysis patient reported during troubleshooting to technical support of slow drain.During troubleshooting treatment data was provided.Treatment data was assessed for 150% and 180% iipv and did reveal 2 episodes of increased intraperitoneal volume (iipv) on (b)(6) 2018.The largest drain volume from this treatment occurred on during drain 1 where 5026ml drained.This drain is 296% of the prescribed fill volume.The patients second drain was 3520.This is 207% 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 fill volume 1700ml is 3060ml.Therefore, a reportable malfunction has occurred.The patient was advised to discontinue use of the cycler and contact the clinic nurse.Follow up with the peritoneal dialysis nurse confirmed the patient did not experience any complications as a result of the alleged event.The patient was able to complete the treatment with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.No treatments were missed.The patient resumed treatment on the replacement cycler.
