Clinical review: a temporal relationship exists between ccpd therapy utilizing a liberty cycler set, and the serious adverse event of pneumonia, which warranted hospitalization.While hospitalized, the patient contracted peritonitis (specifics unknown) while undergoing ccpd therapy and reportedly withdrew from rrt therapy (rationale unknown) on (b)(6) 2025.Although the specifics are unknown, it appears the patient entered some form of palliative care and expired on (b)(6) 2025.Hospice care is defined as a medical intervention, with the expected outcome being the patient will expire as a result.It should be noted that limited clinical follow-up information precluded a more comprehensive medical review.Based on the information available, the 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 and/or contributed to the serious adverse events.Additionally, there was no report a fresenius device(s) and/or product(s) failed to meet the users¿ expectations and/or the manufacturers¿ specifications.The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity.
