The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity. clinical review: a temporal relationship exists between ccpd therapy utilizing a liberty select cycler, liberty cycler set and the serious adverse events of peritonitis, characterized by abdominal pain and cloudy peritoneal effluent fluid, which required hospitalization and antibiotic therapy.The pdrn attributed causality to a touch contamination event, involving the patient using a stay-safe-cap after it had been dropped on the ground.Per the pdrn, the events were not caused by any fresenius product(s) and/or device(s) deficiency or malfunction.Staphylococcus aureus is commonly found in the mucus membranes and skin of humans and is the most frequent organism associated with peritoneal infections in pd patients.Based on the information available, the patient¿s liberty cycler set can be disassociated from the serious adverse events.There is no allegation or objective evidence indicating a fresenius device(s) and/or product(s) caused or contributed to the serious adverse events.Furthermore, there was no report that a fresenius device(s) and/or product(s) failed to meet the users¿ expectations and/or the manufacturers¿ specifications.Esrd patients undergoing pd therapy (manual or cycler based) for rrt are at high risk for infections of the peritoneum.
