It was reported by a registered nurse (rn) that this patient on peritoneal dialysis (pd) therapy developed peritonitis from a tear in the fresenius stay safe catheter extension set.In a follow-up call with the patient¿s pd nurse, it was reported that on (b)(6) 2022 the patient notified the outpatient pd clinic that he experienced a fluid leak from the stay safe catheter extension set due to a visible tear.Later the same day, the patient was seen in the pd clinic and had a pd culture obtained.Per the nurse, the patient¿s pd culture generated growth of the bacteria enterococcus species.The patient was initiated on antibiotic therapy with daily ceftazidime 2 grams intra-peritoneal (ip) on an outpatient basis.The nurse stated it is unknown what caused the tear in the stay safe catheter extension set.It was reported the product was discarded and therefore was not available to return to manufacturer for further product analysis.The nurse attributed the patient¿s peritonitis to a breach in sterile pd pathway due to the reported fluid leak.At the time follow-up was completed, it was indicated the patient is recovering from the peritonitis event.Furthermore, the nurse stated the patient continues pd on the same cycler without further issues.

Clinical review: a temporal relationship exists between a fluid leak during pd therapy with report of a visible tear in the fresenius stay safe catheter extension set and the patient¿s peritonitis event.The patient¿s pd culture generated growth of the bacteria enterococcus faecalis which is normal bacteria of the gastro-intestinal tract.Peritonitis is a well-documented complication in patients undergoing pd therapy and may have many potential etiologies.Nonetheless, fluid leaks during a pd treatment are a known potential risk factor for peritonitis due to a breach in the sterile pd pathway.Currently, it cannot be determined what exactly caused the tear to occur in the stay safe catheter extensions set.However, due to the nature of the reported event, the product cannot be excluded as a cause/contributory factor in the patient¿s event.The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity.

Plant investigation: the complaint sample is not available for manufacturer physical evaluation.At this time a search in the sap system was performed to verify product availability for alternate samples at the distribution centers.According to the sap system no product is available of the lot delivered to the facility, on distribution centers to be analyzed.The entire lot has been sold and distributed.Since the complaint sample is not available neither photos or videos were provided for evaluation and during the dhr review of the lot involved does not show any non-conformances, deviations or associated rework related to the alleged complaint description, could not be confirmed.At this time, no sample has been provided.Should the sample become available, the investigation file will be reopened and will be updated accordingly.
