Event Description
|
Peritoneal dialysis patient contact reported to technical support during troubleshooting that the patient was filling and draining slowly.Treatment data was provided and 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 1 where 4396ml drained.This drain is 199% 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 2206ml is 3971ml.Therefore, a reportable malfunction has occurred.The patient was advised to discontinue use of the liberty select and to contact the peritoneal dialysis nurse.It was indicated that the patient would complete treatment with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.Follow up with the patient¿s peritoneal dialysis nurse indicates that the patient did not experience any complications as a result of the alleged event.The patient resumed treatment on a replacement cycler.
