Event or Problem Description
|
|
A user facility inventory technician reported that a batch of naturalyte acid concentrate was defective and resulting in conductivity levels outside of the expected range.Upon follow up with the user facility administrator it was reported they did not have patient information nor the exact date of the event.They indicated they would have to look for that information.They confirmed that the low conductivity level was found during treatment and was reading somewhere in the high 12 ms/cm, yet well outside of the range to cause the fresenius k2 hemodialysis machine to alarm.The patient receiving treatment was able to continue treatment after the nephrologist was contacted and the acid was switched to a different unknown acid.The remaining jugs of the reported lot was sequestered and scheduled to be picked up and returned by fmc customer service.They confirmed there were no adverse events, serious injuries, nor required medical intervention for the patients involved.The clinic uses naturalyte bicarb (unknown lot).Additional information was requested, however, a response was not received.

Additional information: d9,h3 plant investigation: a product history review was performed.A review of the complaint management system identified 12 additional complaints related to conductivity issues with the reported lot.A review of the product inventory records for lot no.Indicated that 2194 cases of finished product were manufactured for distribution with no noted nonconformances.After reviewing the finished product release summary, it was determined that 20lxac041 met release specifications.As of 4/12/2021 samples were available for return, however, they were not needed to confirm the allegation.A sample retain of the reported lot was tested and found to be within specifications.Through other complaint allegations of the same issue for lots 20lxac056, 20lxac058, and 20lxac076, there were companion samples available for testing which were tested at both the oregon and irving laboratories and results were found to be conflicting.Due to the conflicting results found between the laboratories, the oregon test methods were reviewed and a deficiency was found in the test method pertaining to the sodium and potassium analyte tests.Because of the deficiency found in the test method, it was determined that lot 20lxac041 did not meet release specifications and the allegation conductivity low was confirmed.In conclusion, 20lxac041 release testing was found to be compromised due to the deficient test method.A non-conformance was opened for allegations of conductivity issues and escalated to a corrective action preventative action (capa).Based on the investigation performed, cause was traced to manufacturing.
