Event Description
|
A user facility biomedical engineer (biomed) at a user facility reported that a fresenius 2008t hemodialysis (hd) machine was giving a "v104/108 stuck closed" message with an audible alarm at the select program screen.A patient was not connected to the machine at the time of the incident and there was no harm to any patients or individuals because of this event.The biomed replaced the pressure transducer, which resolved the issue.During troubleshooting, the biomed had reported to have bled a lot when trying to use a screwdriver to replace the transducer.The biomed stated that his knuckles rubbed up against the sharp metal edges surrounding the transducer.He did not require medical intervention.The estimated blood loss (ebl) was not reported.The unit was sanitized and returned to service at the user facility without a recurrence of the event as reported.No parts were stated to be available to be returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.
