The device was received for evaluation.A leak test was performed and a leak at the level of the drain valve.Was observed.During filling, the drain valve finally gave out.The reported condition was verified.The cause was misuse of the bag.A batch review was conducted and there were no deviations found related to this reported condition during the manufacture of this lot.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.It is to be noted that the prismaflex m150 set ckt and all the accessories provided within the set, including the drain bag, is a single use product.If the bag was in use for several hours, the bag had been filled and emptied several times.The filling/emptying cycles generates physical constraints on the bags.The prismaflex control unit operator's manual indicates to ¿change fluid bags when the appropriate caution alarm occurs (pbp bag empty, replacement bag empty, dialysate bag empty or effluent bag full)¿.The prismaflex control unit warns the operator when the effluent bag is full, and it is specified in the on-screen instruction delivered by the prismaflex control unit that the drain bag should be disconnected and changed for a new bag.Only one bag is provided within the sets since this bag is the one needed to prime the set and to start therapy.Since therapy duration and prescribed doses vary for each patient and therapy, replacement bags are provided by baxter as spare bags.
