A user facility reported that a dialyzer blood leak occurred about 12 minutes into the patient¿s hemodialysis (hd) treatment.The blood leak was noted as being an internal blood leak.The leak was not visually observed and there was no defect or damage noted on the dialyzer.The machine, a fresenius 2008t machine, alarmed appropriately with a blood leak alarm.Blood leak test strips were used and tested positive for the presence of blood.The patient¿s estimated blood loss (ebl) was approximately 250 ml.There was no patient injury, adverse events, or medical intervention required as a result of this event.The patient did not complete treatment due to an issue with their access needle (non-fresenius device), however, it was confirmed that the patient has been continuing hd treatments without issue.The complaint device was reported to be available to be returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.

Additional information: d9, h3 plant investigation: the complaint device was returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation and was subject to a laboratory bubble point test.The dialyzer passed testing (possibly due to coagulated blood).The dialyzer was then disassembled for further evaluation.A fiber fragment was identified at approximately 0° on the non-cavity id end.Under magnification (x20), the identified potted fiber fragment measured approximately 0.28mm in length.The opposing end of the fiber could not be isolated.No other damage or irregularities were noted on the returned sample.A production records review was performed on the reported lot.An investigation of the device history records (dhr) was conducted by the manufacturer.There was no indication of product nonacceptance, deviation, non-conformance, rework, labeling or process control failure during the manufacturing process which could be associated with the reported event.The lot met all release criteria.The investigation into the complaint was able to confirm the reported event.
