Clinical review: a clinical investigation was performed.A temporal relationship exists between hd therapy utilizing the custom combi set and the patient¿s serious adverse event of blood loss (ebl 100 ml) which required the initiation of an esa agent.The cause of the blood leak is unknown; therefore, causality cannot be determined.Additionally, the custom combi set was discarded following the events, making a physical examination of the product not possible.Based on the totality of the information available, there is insufficient evidence to exclude the custom combi set from having a possible causal or contributory role in the event.Given the lack of product available for manufacturer evaluation and/or treatment data; there is insufficient evidence to disassociate the custom combi set from the event.The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity.
