Event Description
During a follow-up call for a heater bag not detected message, this peritoneal dialysis (pd) patient stated she was admitted to the hospital on (b)(6) 2024.The patient stated she was unsure if the hospitalization was related to the liberty select cycler, but something had happened to her pd catheter incision.Additional information was provided by the patient¿s peritoneal dialysis registered nurse (pdrn).The patient arrived at the hospital on (b)(6) 2024 with complaints of general malaise.The patient was admitted to the hospital.The pdrn stated she was initially informed the patient was diagnosed with sepsis based on positive blood culture results.The pdrn was then updated on the patient¿s status and informed the patient was also diagnosed with peritonitis.No culture results were available to the pdrn as no hospital documentation has been received.The pdrn stated the patient has a history of diverticulitis and without culture results could not confirm if the peritonitis and subsequent sepsis was caused by the diverticulitis or due to another cause.The pdrn had no additional information related to the patient¿s hospitalization.The patient¿s report of something happening to the pd catheter incision could not be confirmed.
 
Manufacturer Narrative
The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity.  clinical review: there is a possible temporal relationship between peritoneal dialysis (pd) utilizing the liberty select cycler with liberty cycler set and the patient event of peritonitis and sepsis with hospitalization.However, it is unknown if the cause of the peritonitis is the patient¿s pre-existing diverticulitis or some other cause.Additionally, there is no documentation in the complaint file to show a causal relationship between the adverse event and use of the liberty select cycler with liberty cycler set.There is no allegation of a device malfunction or deficiency, or cycler set defect reported for this event.The culture results have not been received by the pd clinic; therefore, the cause of the peritonitis cannot be confirmed.Although no cause of peritonitis has been determined, all pd patients are at risk of peritonitis due to a compromised immune system and the increase of potential for microbial contamination from dialysis techniques.Most cases of peritonitis are caused by touch contamination by the patient with the pd catheter being a source of entry for organisms into the peritoneum.Diverticulitis can also be a source of peritonitis.If a diverticulum becomes swollen enough to rupture (tear), it could allow intestinal bacteria to leak into your peritoneal cavity.Peritonitis can lead to sepsis.Based on the limited information and no allegation of a malfunction, deficiency, or defect the liberty select cycler and cycler set can be excluded as the cause of the patient¿s reported peritonitis and sepsis event.
