Event Description
|
A user facility biomedical technician (biomed) reported to fresenius technical support (ts) that a 2008t hemodialysis machine¿s ultrafiltration (uf) pump was not powering on/initiating when the treatment clock button was pressed on the display.The biomed stated there have not been any adverse reactions with patients, and the patients have continued treatment after the uf pump is initiated manually.The ts representative advised the biomed to check (and potentially swap) the functional board or actuator-test board.Additional details were provided upon follow-up with the biomed, and the charge nurse (cn) from the facility.The biomed and cn both confirmed that the machine¿s uf pump was not turning on automatically as it should have been.There were no machine alarms when this happened; however, the uf totals were flashing on the screen to alert the operator that the uf pump wasn¿t started.The biomed checked the machine¿s settings and found no differences when compared with other machines at the clinic.For some reason, this was the only machine with the issue.Once the uf pump was started, it functioned appropriately and removed the correct amount of fluid.The issue was that they had to manually press the button to get the uf started, which they don't have to do when they use their other machines.It was reported that this has happened during an unknown number of patient treatments, but there have not been any adverse events.The patients have not complained of any symptoms or experienced any adverse effects during or after their treatments.Event dates and all other treatment specific details could not be provided.The biomed replaced the functional board on the machine and it resolved the issue.The machine has been returned to service and the uf is now starting automatically.A sample was not available to be sent back for evaluation.
