During continuous renal replacement therapy (crrt) treatment, dialysis machine unexpectedly quit.
Attempted to call baxter, but was placed on hold for 10 minutes.
Followed instructions on screen, and attempted to manually return blood, but unable to.
Disconnected patient from machine and ended treatment.
This has been given to the davita admin lead to let their biomed department check out the machine and see if there was any specific issue with the machine.
This device was a davita rental - clinical engineering tech calibrated scale, put through alarm & pressure test on rental prismflex dialysis machine.
Machine was verified functional - returned to service.
