Manufacturer Narrative

No lot number was reported for the device.Therefore, reviewing the device history record (dhr) was not possible.Our views; there have been no reported problems when using the device.Adverse events are determined to be due to the patient's condition and method of use.However, we are submitting an mdr (30 days) because health damage to patients has occurred and a causal relationship between the health damage and the product cannot be completely denied.Anaphylactoid reaction: the ifu of la-15 states that the device should be used carefully in patients in pregnancy because until now little clinical data are available.Also, as known side effects of liposorber la-15 anaphylactoid reactions are named in this ifu.Sudden coagulation in the disposable: we identified the potential that the pauses of the blood pump caused by the intervention and alarms may have contributed to the coagulation in the extracorporeal system as well as maybe the low heparin flow rate 0.1ml/h.
