Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that during continuous renal replacement therapy on a prismax machine, the operator erroneously programmed the patient fluid removal rate (pfr) as the flow rate prescribed for the dialysate flow rate (dfr).The patient fluid removal rate was inadvertently set to 1500 ml/hr instead of 50 ml/hr.The error was identified after four hours into treatment and the patient became hypotensive and tachycardic.The effective ultrafiltration volume removed from the patient was approximately 6l over a four hour period (1500 ml/hr x 4).The error was corrected and the patient was treated with multiple vasoactive medications, sodium and calcium (intravenously), saline (1000 ml), lactated ringer (250 ml) and albumin.No additional information is available.

The device was not received for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be completed.Based on the reported information, the reported condition was verified that the fluid removal was due to an erroneous setting by the operator.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.
