It was reported that a patient experienced vomiting during hemodialysis treatment.A biomed technician reported that the batch of naturalyte was mixed improperly and caused the symptoms in the patient.During follow up with the biomed technician it was reported that the naturalyte was mixed during the morning shift, and was possible there were incorrect quantities mixed.There were no alarms.The conductivity of the machine was checked and read 13.0-13.1.The clinic manager stated that the patient was able to complete treatment.The clinic manager stated that a blood test was performed and revealed that the bicarbonate levels were significantly lowered.

Manufacturer Narrative

Clinical review: a clinical investigation was performed to identify a causal relationship between the patient's hemodialysis (hd) treatment and the reported vomiting event.A probable cause of event cannot be determined.It was reported patient¿s hypotension may have been related to potential user error in which it was suspected three batches of naturalyte were mixed improperly with the possibility of incorrect bicarbonate quantities.However, the retained sample of this batch of naturalyte was tested and all results were found to be within manufacturer specifications during manufacturer product investigation.Therefore, based on the information available, causality cannot be determined.Although a direct causal relationship could not be confirmed, a temporal relationship between the patient's hd treatment and the event of vomiting remains.Should additional new information be made available this clinical investigation will be reevaluated.
