The device was received for evaluation.Internal and external inspection was performed, and no issues were noted.All connections appear correct and secure.A service history review revealed no indication that the parts replaced during servicing caused or contributed to the reported event.No device failure or malfunction was identified that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.Review of the sharesource therapy log data was performed and revealed the programmed total uf (50ml) may have been set too low for the most recent therapies.Per the homechoice claria clinician guide, the programmed total uf should be based on an average of the nightly uf from the past seven consecutive therapies for a specific program.The log data from the most recent treatments showed the patient¿s average uf was approximately 480ml.Based on the device log analysis, the direct cause of the reported fullness event was determined to be the programmed total uf being set too low.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.
