Manufacturer Narrative

As possible causes for arrhythmia during the treatment with lixelle, in general, situations as follows are considered: hypokalemia or hyperkalemia, occurrence accidentally based on the past history of arrhythmia, and/or decrease in trough level of digoxin, anti-arrhythmic drug, due to adsorption to the lixelle during the treatment.The lixelle is confirmed in clinical investigations that the use of lixelle is unlikely to influence on the trough level of potassium.The patient's blood chemistry for potassium before and after the occurrence of the arrhythmia was not available.It is confirmed that the patient does not have history of arrhythmia and accordingly does not take digoxin.Accordingly, possible causes for the arrhythmia resulted in lost consciousness during the treatment with lixelle on this patient is not clear.However, we cannot completely exclude the relevance of the use of lixelle to the event reported, and we determine the case as mdr reportable.
