Manufacturer Narrative

Corrected (b)(4).Conclusion: a temporal relationship exists between the patient¿s reported cardiac arrest during a hd treatment and the fresenius 2008-k machine.Although there is an allegation against the fresenius 2008-k machine pulling too much fluid during treatment, any causality between the 2008-k machine or any fresenius products and the adverse event of cardiac arrest cannot be determined based on the lack of information provided.Additional information related to the patient¿s demographics, treatment data, medical interventions and hospitalization is needed to determine potential causality.A supplemental medwatch report will be submitted upon completion of the investigation.
