Event Description

It was reported that during veno-venous hemofiltration therapy using a prismax control unit and a prismaflex m150 set, a patient became hypotensive and was treated with norepinephrine and vasopressin. It was reported that the patient was in the intensive care unit and on a ventilator support at 100% and experiencing atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate. Within a few minutes of connecting the patient, the blood flow rate (bfr) too low for thermax alarm and an unable to detect return alarm occurred. The bfr was increased from 100 ml/min to 150 ml/min resolving both alarms. At an unspecified time during treatment, the prismax machine generated alarms related to ¿access extremely negative¿ and ¿tmp increasing¿ and troubleshooting attempts failed to solve the conditions. The operator attempted to return the extracorporeal blood to the patient, but the blood return function on the prismax was reportedly not available. The treatment was terminated without returning the extracorporeal blood to the patient. The patient was reportedly hemodynamically unstable (no blood pressures provided) and the vasopressor medication was increased and phenylephrine was added. The patient outcome was not reported. No additional information is available.
