Manufacturer Narrative
|
Plant investigation: the sample was not returned to the manufacturer and the lot number was not provided.A manufacturing review was performed on the products shipped to the customer for the three (3) month time frame which immediately preceded the event occurrence date.This review included the lot numbers for all fresenius combiset bloodlines shipped to this account within the selected time frame.The entire set of lots have been sold and distributed.There were no non-conformances or abnormalities identified during the manufacturing process which could be associated with the reported event.An investigation of the device history records (dhr) was conducted and confirmed that the results of the in-progress and final quality control (qc) testing met all requirements.The product lots involved met all specifications for release.A review of the dhr did not reveal a probable cause for the customer complaint.As a physical evaluation could not be performed, a definitive conclusion regarding the reported incident could not be reached and a cause could not be confirmed.Clinical investigation: there is a temporal relationship between hd therapy utilizing the combiset and the patient blood loss due to clotting in the venous chamber requiring the administration of a blood transfusion.However, the cause of the patient¿s blood clotting has not been determined.There are several reasons for blood clotting in the extracorporeal circuit which includes inadequate anticoagulation, patient physiological issues (high hemoglobin), low blood flow or high ultrafiltration rates.No malfunction or defect was reported with the combiset and the sample was not returned for evaluation.Based on the available information, it cannot be concluded if the combiset caused the patient¿s blood to clot in the venous chamber requiring the blood transfusion; however, the use of the combiset did contribute to the adverse event which required medical intervention.
